Hello everyone

I hope you all are doing fine. A few days back i shared a gaming blog about age of mythology which is an old strategy game. And as i am exploring old nostalgic games so in addition to that i found this one, Age of empires II. The game has less graphics as compared to age of mythology but is more realistic, i will share that comparison further in the blog post.

As far as i open such games, i hustle for the campaigns inside because they are the lovely part in such games. Jon of arc was my favourite mission till now, this is one thing that it is more realistic as it includes the real history and not just the myths. Although this game wasn't having any pre films telling us the real story behind a mission but only a voice and few stories, still really enjoyable.

As for now, i am on the last part of the campaigns repeating the history of a Muslim empire. The story is being told before starting a campaign and we have to visualise it then in-game by doing such things. Sometimes sneaking, sometimes attacking the other city with a large enemy, sometimes defending our castles until the aid arrives hence different kind of missions at different times.

Lemme make it easy for you to understand the campaign part of the game. As in here, they have asked us to escort atleast one trade cart to our allies on the other side of the border. They also have provided with a solid amount of soldiers, which obviously means that there will be enemies in our way working as obstacles.

Whenever there is any hero in a campaign and it's necessary to keep him alive until the mission is finished, i always keep him at last so that he doesn't counter any fight. No doubt a hero is always powerful and has some special attack in the battle but the worst thing is if he falls, i have to start the mission again. That's what i hate and a reason to keep them at last.

Here is a funny thing, i started exploration from the west side of the map and found out that there were two enemy towns with full of castles (the hardest building to take down without any siege weapons). I turned back at once, and continued the other way. I was expecting some enemies not towns, because it was i think impossible with these soldiers to fight an enemy inside their town and breach it to pass further.

I continued my journey towards east and luckily there were no towns except some watch towers and few soldiers.

Atlast the game developers also had a soft corner for my soldiers and there was an ally town who offered us some armour upgrades. Pity that there was no monk to heal my soldiers, those ambushes with enemy soldiers were also damaging because they kept their elite soldiers in the way.

As i was close to the other side of border, i encountered an enemy town but completely avoided it. I continuously clicked on my soldiers and moved them towards the other side instead of town because unhanded they move towards the enemy.

As the objective of this campaign was to at least escort fifteen soldiers along with the hero and those ambushes made me doubted if the soldiers are going to be enough. Last two ambushes had some really strong soldiers so i decided to put the hero Infront to avoid losing more soldiers (because i was gonna lose either way, it the soldiers die or the hero die). So i took the risk.

Thankfully i reached the destination with just up-to-the mark numbers.

Well, that's all from my side.

       GOODLUCK AND BEST WISHES 👌
