Each civilization has unique attributes, buildings and technologies, as well as a unique combat unit based on its historical counterpart.

FOUR NEW HISTORICALLY BASED CAMPAIGNS

The four new campaigns focus on historical figures such as Attila the Hun, El Cid and Montezuma, allowing players to ride alongside the Hun invasion of Europe, battle the Moors in Spain, preside over the siege of Tenochtitlan, or relive eight other battles that became turning points in history, such as Agincourt, Manzikert and Hastings, with such conquerors as Henry V, Yi Sun-shin and Erik the Red.
