Take advantage of the ability to perform economic upgrades one age earlier than other civilizations, stable technologies cost 50% less, and gunpowder units gain 25% attack.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sicilian Civilization<\/strong><br \/>An infantry civilization specializing in city building and defensive capabilities to fuel their relentless drive for expansion. Build Donjons for additional fortifications around your towns, employ the First Crusade technology to spawn batches of the unique Serjeant unit in all Town Centers and utilize the Scutage technology to refill your and your team members\u2019 battle coffers with 15 gold for each military unit you own.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Edward Longshanks Campaign<\/strong><br \/>Edward I is widely considered as one of England\u2019s greatest rulers, mentioned in the same breath as Alfred the Great and Elizabeth I.&nbsp; Known as \u201cLongshanks\u201d for his height and intimidating stature, he was a man that commanded respect as he transformed England from a tattered state into a prominent European power.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Grand Dukes of the West Campaign<br \/><\/strong>The Burgundian dukes are driven by ambition and greed. They lead an extremely luxurious life and need to constantly expand their domains to pay for it. Image and publicity mean everything to them. Philip the Bold earned his nickname after the defeat at Poitiers and John the Fearless earned his after a defeat in the Crusades, so these dukes know the importance of propaganda.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Hautevilles Campaign<\/strong><br \/>Robert Guiscard arrived in Italy in 1047 CE with a robber-band of 35 men. Within a century, his Hauteville family included dukes in Italy, princes in the Middle East, and even the King of Sicily. Join this intrepid family of Norman adventurers and complete their unlikely and compelling story.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/the-lords-of-the-west-have-arrived-in-age-of-empires-ii-definitive-edition-available-now.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-148662\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Burgundians<\/strong><br \/>Rise from a mere duchy to the marvel of Western Europe through economic might, cultural achievement, and the use of advanced military technology and tactics.<\/p>\n<p>The dukes of Burgundy played a vital role in the politics of medieval Western Europe. They led the transformation from the medieval to the early modern world and ushered in a golden age for the region called the Northern Renaissance. At their height, these \u201cGrand Dukes of the West\u201d controlled large parts of modern-day France, Belgium, The Netherlands, and Luxembourg.&nbsp; Carving a new polity out of French, English, and Holy Roman domains was a daunting task that came with a high price: decades of war and bloodshed. However, the Burgundians knew to use more than just warfare to get what they wanted. Their diplomatic and marriage policies proved to be even stronger than their swords.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Civilization Bonuses<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cavalry civilization<\/li>\n<li>Economic upgrades are available one Age earlier than other civs<\/li>\n<li>Stable technologies cost -50%<\/li>\n<li>Gunpowder units gain +25% attack<\/li>\n<li>Cavalier upgrade available in the Castle Age<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Team Bonus<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Relics generate both Gold &amp; Food<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Unique Units<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Coustillier<\/strong> (cavalry) &#8211; Burgundian cavalry unit that utilizes a powerful shock attack when charging into battle.&nbsp; Strong vs. infantry and archers.&nbsp; Weak vs. Camel Riders and Monks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flemish Militia<\/strong> (infantry) &#8211; Burgundian unique infantry unit.
