It’s probably going to be a dlc, that way they can have time to fix things and double dip money wise, if the game doesn’t sell well they might not bother to. Though I think the game is perfect as it was, I didn’t even play with the titans on the extended edition in aom or the new civ. Maybe I should go back and check it out.
Personally I never played it without The Titans. I first played it in probably 2005 on the Gold Edition. I loved it in that version; it was probably my most-played game for a long time. The campaign was a brilliant sequel to the original, and some of the multiplayer custom scenarios were incredible. I must have played dozens of hours of escape scenarios alone.
I was absolutely gutted when my disk got a scratch and no longer worked, back at a time before I was aware of no-CD patches. I went searching all over the place until I could find a store that still sold Age of Mythology. I was so excited, until…on the bus back I read the back of the box. This was an edition published by Ubisoft, which did not support online play. From then until EE came out, I basically completely stopped playing. EE brought me back in, mostly playing casual multiplayer with friends against each other or against AI, or the occasional custom scenario made by one of my friends.
I basically stopped playing the game within a month or two of Tales of the Dragon being released. The DLC itself, and the ‘balance’ changes to the other civs that came out at the same time, just killed my motivation and that of my gaming group.
Huh I really should check out the new campaign, the original was such a ride. I didn’t even know it had a dlc with Titans before it came out on steam and I saw they added those and a new civ. Hope the game works on linux like aoe2 de does.
Well, not so much a DLC back in the day! Just an old-school expansion.
Not sure about Linux. I know that the original game had an official Mac version which could do multiplayer cross-play, but The Titans was never released for Mac, and unlike the modern DLCs, back in the day you couldn’t do multiplayer between Titans and OG players.
