Age of History 2: Definitive Edition?

[IsYugos5 2]

Hello everyone,

 

I'm opening this topic to share the main concerns, suggestions and wishes that the AoH subreddit community has recently expressed regarding the future of Age of History II: Definitive Edition. I consider it important that the official forum also keeps these ideas in mind, as they reflect the feelings of a large part of veteran and new players who are still waiting for substantial improvements in this title.

 

What does the community want? According to the original text

 

The community is not opposed to a new version or definitive edition of the game, but asks that it is not simply an empty re-release to get easy money, but a real opportunity to improve and modernize AoH2 with quality. These are the most important points being discussed:

 

 

1. Bug Fixes

The foundation of any improvement: cleaning up accumulated bugs that affect gameplay and overall stability.

 

2. Military and Front Management Improvements

Ability to automatically select provinces adjacent to a civilization.

Reinforce and move all armies in a region or front with a single click.

More efficient and less tedious army management.

 

3. Improved AI

More active and realistic diplomacy between players and civilizations.

Greater accuracy in assessing enemies, allies, and your troops.

AI-related bug fixes.

Improved performance and overall efficiency.

 

4. Deeper Diplomacy

Vassalization bug fixes.

Improved trade.

Tighter and more realistic ultimatums.

New, more complex diplomatic conditions.

 

5. Bulk Building Construction

Select multiple provinces to build en masse with a single click.

 

6. Advanced Province Management

Perform assimilations, festivals, or investments in all selected provinces together.

Change province names based on owner.

Ability to change rulers.

 

7. General Balance

Adjustment of terrain bonuses and forms of government (currently unbalanced or not very useful).

Specific improvement to the Holy Roman Empire (bonuses for emperor, princes, and members; ability to expand or leave the empire).

 

8. Updated Soundtrack

It is suggested to include the Age of History 3 soundtrack, or at least as additional content (DLC).

 

9. Other personal community wishes

Open space for players to suggest improvements that have not yet been considered.

 

 

And in the end, they conclude by saying they're not looking to stop or boycott the Definitive Edition project, but rather to take advantage of this likely last opportunity to turn Age of History II into a solid, complete game worthy of the series. They believe it's important for Łukasz to listen to these suggestions, and that they're not just hate speech or empty complaints: they're concrete ideas that would improve the game's playability and value for everyone.
