Top 5 Custom Campaigns in AoE2: DE (1000th video special!)

for me is the best mechanics found in aegis roman campaign

for me I really love the dubbing in the campaigns. it just doesn't feel right when there's no voice acting

Hey! Please, why isn't there any video on Filthydelphia's Way of the Buddha? Can you please make one?

Is there any coop ones

If you enjoy GOT. "A Khaleesi's Journey" is a really good campaign scenario 😊

I have a question with Tomislav - in the first level when I destroy blues shrine it does not drop a relic…seems like a glitch. anyway around this ??

I like that one campaign where you play as the Mongols, and in the end, you are a monk, and you drive a car into a small village to look at a tomb of a famous Khan.

there’s so many campaigns that are so terrible (no offense to the creators) that I haven’t touched custom campaigns. I only like official made. Other wise the ones you showed were actually pretty cool. Gonna check them out tomorrow!

It's possible to download these without owning the game, in case anyone wonders.

I think the really great thing about Apranik is how it frames each of the unit types you can make as individual people. It’s most apparent in the beginning of the second level, where each of the units you collect while you’re abandoning the city give you their entire motivation for fighting: the pikewomen are fighting for their freedom, the paladins are loyal to their religion, the crossbowmen are vengeful, and so on. It really makes your fighting force feel alive, like you’re leading an army but also a set of friends.

If I could change one thing about the campaign, I would have loved to see these personalities have a bit more emphasis somehow. They all seem so interesting but we go so little into the depths of their characters

I think there are some campaigns that I would like to add because they are so memorable to me: Ottokar, because of its tragic story. Ulio, because of its unique atmosphere, storytelling, and for nostalgia reasons. Not sure if it is availaible on DE though. And Dandolo, because it has such a unique setting.

welp, now I have to check out all your playthroughs of this list's campaigns!

What kind of controller do you use?

as someone who has never played any custom campaign but played all the official content this is just perfect - thanks!

love this list! agree with the persian campagin, hope to see more custom campagins from you :)

There are new campaigns for Rise of Rome

There are more "new" campaigns for return of rome and their achievements seem to be broken.

Have you cover the top 5 official campaign?

I miss othman empire and Umayyad caliphate mod when aoe team make?

I wasn't aware there is so much high quality custom campaign/scenario AoE2 content. Really makes me want to play them.
Thank you Ornlu for this highlight and shout-out as well as for showcasing a lot of this. There are many multi-player and pvp caster, which is great, but it is also awesome we have you to showcase and highlight this type of aoe content. So happy to have it.
And not to forget, thank you a lot, creators of custom scenarios and campaigns. Many thanks to you.

Ornlu!
Will you make videos about the new return to rome campaigns?

Ornlu when arrive next Return of Rome video?
Egyptians, and Carthaginians tutorial campaigns has been released.

Camel Quest is the best by far

Has anyone here tried reconquista?

Congrats Ornlu, love the content you put out :) Never heard of these campaigns until now - LOVED Ragnars Saga

Tomislav and Apranik was amazingly fun to play. Compelling historical stories and great game play!

Thanks and congrats for the 1000th video - a great one, BTW! :)
Congrats also for all the creator on the community for their hard work.

Apranik is by far the worst custom campaing,its super hard! enemy monks can convert my buildings and siege weapons from huge range wtf man ! are you serious ?

Kings of West Africa 1 (Tenkamenin) is unbeatable for me (in moderate difficulty), and I already beat all official campaigns + some custom content. I don't think this is intentional, maybe a later patch messed it up, because now the enemy spams Genitours and later Elite Camel Archers. I've tried it over and over again, it's not fun.

Can you get these on xbox ?

Bassi is one of my favourite designers of Agearena

Are there any Campaigns that are 'funny' to some extent?
Are there any campaigns that are extremely chaotic? (I don't mean it in less the sense of many things happening at the same time and more in the sense of things changing like one player disappearing and another appearing suddenly)

You really need to try the custom campaign "A Khaleesi's Journey" it's a GOT single player campaign scenario. It's a long one but definitely worth playing

Now that there is Romans, There should be Egyptians as well in african scenarios. My favorite custom campaign is Ragnars saga, but all in this video was fun.

Aprainik is really the pinnacle of aoe2 campaigns, custom and official alike.

Thank you for the kind words and congrats to Jacqueline and Bassi! Congrats on 1K too!

Congrats Ornulu. And thank you for all the great videos!

No "Adrianople - great battles of late antiquity" or "Constantinople - the end of the ancient world"? You should try them and I'm definitely not saying this because I'm the creator!

TBH some kind of tier list for custom campaigns would be awesome, especially because there is a lot of fun campaign which was not even mentioned in this video. It would be good for the new players to have some overview, and maybe an inspiration for others to play campaigns they were not aware of. For me not mentioning about catscientist, Neky or Ilam's campaign is criminal underappreciation

Awesome, please more campaign suggestions! :)

Thank you for all the content you provide. Watching your videos made my gameplay even better with your deeper explainations of certain mechanics. I have become hooked to the custom campaigns and are now doing thoseI see in your videos (currently trying to beat the Isabelle 5 with Columbus)

I think Isma'il I is also a very well-made scenario. It's not that much known by AOE2 fans but it is enjobale with a very nice story

Thank you, everybody, for the kind-hearted comments for Tomislav and Apranik! Glad they still hold up over two years later!

DUDE!!!! How is Julius Ceasar Bello Gallica or w/e its called both parts 1 and 2 each like 8 missions each not on here? Its a AOE 2 campaign that uses the NEW roman CIV for aoe 2 and its amazing!!!! you NEED to do a lets play of it!!!

I have been waiting for this video

The best fanmade "custom" campaign will always be the OG Dracula one. Especially the second scenario with the Risk play style and the time you had to invest into it. Or the last one, never has a map been used so much, completely overharvested of all the resources, just to finish a game.

Oh Aparanik is brilliant
