is the sultan's ascend dlc worth buying? 2 new civs and 4 variants of existing ones. looks like there's some new map types as well.
>>
>>1909145
no
>>
>>1909147
no because of poor value or because the additions suck?
>>
>>1909145
If you like the game, yes.
I think the additional factions are fun. There's no new map types, unless you are referring to singleplayer campaigns.

you sure? doesnt sound like these are campaign exclusive maps. i only ever play custom comp-stomp matches with my brother, so campaign stuff wouldn't be interesting to me.
>>
>>1909185
They just mean they added that to the map pool.
You don't need to buy it, unless you want to play the campaign or the new civs. I bought it much later, despite itbeing my main game.
>>
>guys tell me if I should buy this thing
grow up and make up your mind, if you aren't sure about buying something then you probably shouldn't be spending your money on it
>>
>>1909542
why are you even on a videogame board if people talking about videogames triggers you?
>>
>>1909546
I enjoy talking about video games but the constant
>is X worth buying
questions are lowering the quality of the site. It's subjective.
>>
>>1909145
is it value? not really
are the new civs good? yes
they are pretty distinct too
like byz and japan really don't play like the others
jd isn't that distinct, ayyubid is, ootd is but they are cringe, and zhu xi is just better than china ngl
if you're "into" aoe4 then you have to buy it
>>
>>1909542
its just a conversation starter anon
>>
>>1909145
No is not, but considering you are for the actual generation how will buy anything, you donĀ“t gonna give a fuck about my hint...

>Crusade themed expansion
>Badass Templar on the cover
>You play as Muslims in the campaign
>not even Crusaders as playable civ or civ's variant
Lame'n'gay.

>>1909771
its called sultans ascend not templars triumphant anon

AOE4? Why play it when AOE2 exists.

AOE2? Why play it when AOE4 exists.
>>
>>1909828
can't do the right click hold to orient troops in aoe2, thus aoe4 > aoe2

i'd say that the campaigns are the best selling point, or if you're a weeb/byzanbozo
the campaign missions are quite fun, with more gimmicks/uniqueness than all of the original campaigns; there's a mission that's a Spawn-based battle over control points, a defensive mission where you're also moving stealthy assassins around, and a naval mission where you have to face 100 or so carracks spawning in, so it can be pretty chaotic
the variant civs are fine, but, as described, they're variants that play with different ideas, but are still mostly the same as the original civ, just with a twist that allows them to build off of the foundations and then follow their own path
>>
>>1910120
well shoot, im neither a weeb/bozo nor a campaign type of guy. i do appreciate your opinion though.
>>
>>1909145
Anyone even plays this game still?
>>
>>1911527
there are dozens of us
>>
>>1909151
No because AoE4 as a whole sucks.
>>
>>1909817
Yea and introducing Crusaders without also introducing Muslims would be equally fucking stupid.
>>
it depends on why youre buying it i guess. if you are grinding ranked then obviously because you need to be playing the same version as everyone else. for the campaign alone? def not. the campaign is really short and doesnt even accurately reflect the games civs because they are all custom hybrid civs to reflect the story. anyways japanese and byz (my main on ranked, solid plat 1 here) feel very unique. i havent even tried the other variants. oh and theres another dlc coming out in the spring so since youre a poorfag that cant just spend $15 or whatever a whim for something over a year old maybe just skip it entirely.
