I have no idea about team bonuses yet as I am not familiar with them yet. Our team eventually won, I spammed Chariot Archers and took advantage of the hills. The latter is another point of interest as the computer intelligence is way better than AoEDE's, much more spammy too with Cavalry Archers (reminds me of the Mongols). The female villagers are a nice touch - they finally left their caves! This was a Dark Forest map, similar to the Black Forest map with a 4v4 setting against the AI. It's not just the game speed setting, but maybe it's just me being kind of overwhelmed, as I haven't played AoEDE in quite a while - it takes a while getting used to this, compared to AoE2. One thing I immidiately noticed was the game speed, in general the game plays faster than AoE2. Trying some of the new technologies like Market trading and getting a feel for RoR for the first time, which is a mixture of both weird, nostalgia, and excitement.

So, I first did a Random Map/Skirmish, playing as Assyrians, everything on default as per the game's initial settings, but the difficulty set to moderate (I am very rusty, yes, you can call me a n00b now).

If I am not mistaken I heard new music renditions of those used in good old Rise of Rome, as well as new civilization-specific music, which is very nice, excellent work! It's familiar yet different - in a good way! First of all let me say that graphics wise RoR looks very good, I appreciate the updated UI (no more empty squares in the research area) with extended features. I did a playthrough of Return of Rome this evening, on single player mode (no MP yet, I am still learning here!) and. but boy, this is quite something (spoilers ahead).

The Return of Rome DLC has launched today and is available as the latest DLC for Age of Empires II Definitive Edition! RoR is now (an upgraded) RoR, kind of confusing to be honest. Latest News Return of Rome now available! Posted by PhatFish on May 16th, 2023 7:34 p.m.
