Other than drama post from aoe rockstars, there are no interesting topics around about the game which is hurtful for the current game status, we are about to get pay to win civilizations that literally have nothing to do with aoe2 universe, yes the romans do not belong to aoe2 timeline as they are already represented in several civilizations.
They are going to be released broken beyond poles or gurjaras because they need to increase the sells as they saw the little interest in that tiny copy and paste dlc called return of rome, lets not pretend that aoe1 is a popular game as an aoe1 de owner it barely peaks 50 players online, so this release is targeting aoe2 users and the only way they have found out to sell their content is by breaking the game balance.
So we as aoe2 players will have to buy the dlc to get romans and counterpick the romans, just like cumans vs cumans in 2019, they don't even give us options to ban broken civilizations which will cause mayhem in the ranked games and we as community allow their behavior every single time, i said and got banned on aoeforums as a joke that we could get martians at some point and now that is closer than ever.
Return of rome is an expensive copy paste from an existing game, overpriced for its content if you already bought aoe 1 DE, that offers only 3 small campaigns, awful balance and civ design, they noticed it wouldn't sell well so they changed their mind at the last minute and decided to hurt the aoe2 community to gain some money in return and justify their decisions.
Also the vietnamese community is not interested in this dlc content or aoe2 or even the aoe 1 DE, they can run for free the pirated version on basically every single device perfectly fine, unlike aoe2 de that needs modern hardware to be played without lag at big resolutions on large maps and high pop games, so lets forget entirely that community.
So what do you guys think? i know aoe2 community is now split within hera's community, viper's, t90's SOL's, memb's communities and aoe influencers in general, but what is next missisipeans? greenland? a new unit like an archer that ignores PA defenses? or villagers that don't need lumbercamps to drop the wood in order to look newer and fresh.
