13 year old Age of Empires 2 gets new, unofficial expansion pack

True mark of longevity.

Posted By | On 01st, Jan. 2013

Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings has to be amongst the greatest real-time strategy games of all time. If anybody ever made a list- and a lot of people do- it would certainly rank up there with the likes of Rise of Nations and Age of Mythology.

But hell, it’s been thirteen years since the game came out. It came out in 1999. Even the studio that developed it has been shut down (we hate you, Microsoft. We miss you, Ensemble).

But showing a true mark of longevity, Age of Empires 2 has received an all new and unofficial (obviously) expansion pack called Forgotten Empires.

The expansion pack includes everything from new maps and all new campaigns to new units and entirely new civilizations like the Incas, Magyars and Italians.
