So you know how this was made into an expansion. Well now they're making another one that adds all new African civs into the game! :D Yay!

He is Jubal the modder, Jubal the wayfarer, Jubal the admin. And he has come to me now, at the turning of the tide.

Moar AoE2 madness, welp, time to pick up the game again. Just been playing No Man's land, on disc if anyone's heard of that :P

It's released for £6.99 or your regional equivalent. Right now it's got 20% off for the launch sale so it's £5.60 and AoE2 HD edition is £3 for this weekend only. All on steam btw. And yeah, HD edition is worth getting even if you own regular. It adds more to the factions, new techs, bugfixes and all the usual pretty things from a HD update.

EDIT: Oops,new factions are Portugal, Berbers, Malians and Ethiopians. Each come with a fully voiced campaign and there are some new generic units and techs: Arrowslits is a tech that increases tower damage, Arson improves melee units damage vs buildings, fire galley is a feudal age fireship, Siege Tower hides units in and helps them scale walls...Did not know that scaling walls was a feature, might have to get it just to see that.

Unsurprisingly for Portuguese you get an organ gun which I reckon will be a scorpion esque unit killer with decent damage vs buildings.
Malians get a Gbeto ranged infantry.
Berbers get camel archer, anti cav archer.
Shotel Warrior for Ethiopians, really weak (gets chewed up by Huskarls) but nearly instantly produced with their unique tech Royal Heirs.

Portuguese and their allies also get access to Genitour which is a mounted skirmisher from archery range.

Extra critters are also in the game in the form of Lions, Crocs, Elephants, Zebras and Ostriches.

There's also a new mode 'Sudden Death' where you only get 1 TC and if it's destroyed then you lose.

EDIT: Just read the misc changes 'Camels are no longer classed as ships'...It took 3 expacs to do this??? XD

Maybe someone took "ship of the desert" a bit too literally?
