Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition – Dawn of the Dukes

Welcome to Dawn of the Dukes. Challenge your friends as one of two new civilizations, featuring new units and technologies. Fight across the fields of Central and Eastern Europe in three new campaigns, defeating your enemies with military and economic might or a disciplined and well-equipped army!

Two new civilizations:

Czechs. Conquer the high mountains and green forests of Central Europe, arm your seasoned warriors with improved weapons and lead them to victory over superior enemy forces. The Czechs have unique units at their disposal: the Hussite wagon, a deadly prototype of modern tanks, and the Haufnitsa, an improved version of the bombard.

Poles. Traverse the fertile plains, leading resourceful peasants and powerful nobles, and transform the young Kingdom of Poland into one of the most powerful states in medieval Europe. The Poles have at their disposal the chisel warrior, a ruthless infantry unit capable of splitting any armor with its hammer.

Three new, fully voiced campaigns:

Olgierd and Kestutis. The small Duchy of Lithuania is on the brink of collapse – its lands are about to be invaded by the greedy knights of the Teutonic Order. The last pagans of Europe have no common leader, their leaders are at odds with each other – but Prince Olgierd and his loyal brother Kestutis refuse to surrender. Will they be able to repel the Crusaders and then challenge the descendants of Genghis Khan himself, the leaders of the nomadic armies of the Golden Horde? In this campaign, you will play as the Lithuanians.

Jadwiga. Torn from her mother and forcibly separated from her lover, Queen Jadwiga ascended the Polish throne as a child. In an era of constant conflict, she must subjugate such powerful leaders as Jagiello and Grand Duke Vitovt to her will and thus ensure the future of her kingdom. Will the “Star of the Poles” be able to realize their vision of a strong and united Polish-Lithuanian state, or will both states perish in the abyss of endless wars? In this campaign, you will play as the Poles.

Jan Zizka. One-eyed Jan Zizka spent his youth fighting for his employers’ gold, but when he heard the sermon of reformer Jan Hus in Prague, his destiny changed forever. As the leader of the Hussite movement and at the head of its invincible army, Zizka revolutionized military affairs, relying on advanced technology and tactical advances. Follow the path of one of the greatest generals in history – turn a crowd of peasants into a disciplined army and repeatedly defeat the knightly armies of the Holy Roman Empire. In this campaign, you will play as the Czechs.
