Gameplay[edit]

Gameplay of Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition.

The core gameplay elements are shared heavily with the original but Definitive Edition builds upon it. The remaster includes new 4K graphics, new improved visuals for troops and buildings, the ability to zoom in and further out and a new spectator mode. It features a new campaign called The Last Khans and includes four new civilizations: Bulgarians, Cumans, Lithuanians and Tatars. Four new campaigns were added for the new civilisations: Ivaylo, Kotyan Khan, Tamerlane and Pachacuti which is about the Inca civilisation and replaces El Dorado from the HD Edition (Lithuanians do not appear as a playable civilization in any campaign; however, they represent Poles in the Ivaylo campaign).[2][4] It includes all previous expansions from the original (The Conquerors) and HD edition (The Forgotten, The African Kingdoms, Rise of the Rajas).[2][5]

Players can choose between the original AI, the updated HD Edition AI that was added alongside the HD Edition of the game, and a newer AI developed for the Definitive Edition.[6] The original AI had to cheat to be competitive, while the new AI is advanced enough to not require any cheating. When the old and new AIs were pitted against each other in a test, the new one easily defeated the old one.[7] Unit pathfinding is also supposedly improved upon.[8] Players can shift-queue villager tasks.[9]Farms now have the option to be replenished automatically.[10] A further expansion pack, Lords of the West, was announced on December 15, 2020 and is due for release on January 26, 2021. The Lords of the West will introduce two further civilisations, the Burgundians and the Sicilians, as well as three new campaigns, featuring Edward Longshanks, the Dukes of Burgundy and the Hautevilles.[11]

  • Where can I get other questions answered?

    Microsoft manages the official Age of Empires II HD forum at http://forums.ageofempiresonline.com/forums/89/ShowForum. The latest and most up to date information on the game will be found there.


  • When I try to launch the game, all I see is a white screen. What can I do?

    Age of Empires II: HD requires a DirectX 9.0c compatible video card and typically a white screen is a symptom of not having the minimum system requirement video card. Verify that your video card supports DirectX 9.0c, and if not, consider upgrading your hardware. High quality video cards can be purchased for a wide range of prices at many retail and online locations.


  • The Age of Empires II: HD launcher looks incorrect and scaled incorrectly. What can I do?

    Windows has a dots per inch (DPI) scaling factor in its screen settings that lets you zoom the screen to make some portions easier to read. Some software such as the software used to build the launcher, don't behave properly when Windows DPI scaling is set away from normal.
