Answer the Call! Build Your Empire! Claim "The Mountain Royals" DLC Today and Rewrite the Pages of History!

The Armenians
Rise and reclaim your ancestral lands across the rugged mountain regions surrounding Lakes Van, Sevan, and Urmia. The Armenians boast two distinctive unique units: the Composite Bowman, a masterful archer whose arrows can penetrate even the most formidable armor, and the Warrior Priest, a versatile infantry unit capable of both engaging in combat and restoring the health of allied forces.

The Georgians
Establish a powerful kingdom nestled beneath the mighty Caucasus Mountains, harnessing the challenging landscape as your greatest weapon against relentless foreign aggressors. The Georgians command the mighty Monaspa as their unique unit, a powerful cavalry warrior whose combat effectiveness grows stronger alongside fellow soldiers.

3 Exciting New Campaigns

Tamar's Ascension
Raised on the legendary tales of David the Builder, the fierce and determined Tamar inherits her great-grandfather's throne with ambitious visions for her thriving kingdom. Yet she soon discovers that true power demands far more than noble bloodlines alone. Can Georgia's pioneering queen silence her doubters and carve a legacy that will echo through the centuries?

Thoros The Great
Sandwiched between hostile powers, the small kingdom of Cilician Armenia struggles as its royal family languishes in Byzantine captivity. When Prince Thoros makes a daring escape, he launches a perilous campaign to reclaim his beloved homeland. However, the vengeful Byzantines are merely one obstacle among many, as the ambitious Seljuk Turks eye the territory greedily while a cunning Frankish crusader pursues his own sinister agenda to the south.

Ismail
The gifted young orphan Ismail guides the enigmatic Safavid Order through the chaos of war-ravaged Persia! Will this magnetic and visionary leader plant the seeds of one of the Islamic world's most magnificent empires, or will his boundless ambitions ultimately seal his fate?
The Mountain Royals DLC for Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition delivers countless hours of deeply engaging gameplay, tactical warfare, and breathtaking storytelling. Cement your name among history's greatest rulers and experience civilization's most monumental turning points firsthand.

I doubt I'll be buy anymore DLC/expansions for this game. This DLC really irritated me with this game and the developers. The maps were great but the scenarios and AI cheating were out of control. Enemies attacking

Not personally seeing the same angle that these negative reviews are taking on this DLC. Certainly it's no Conqueror's Expansion, but Conqueror's was released in 2000 for $20.00 USD, and this DLC in 2000s dollars would

Overpriced DLC, armenians and georgians campaigns were good. Persian campaign was made with minimal effort. Not interesting and does not exploit the civ's bonuses at all. Not fun. Get it on discount.
