GOOD DAY and HAPPY SEPTEMBER, everyone!
This month’s update continues the trend of introducing a smaller (though nonetheless significant) list of tweaks, fixes, and changes to Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition. While brand-new features and additions are subjected to rigorous testing in preparation for the quarterly update, this month’s release still brings its own list of fixes and features to the game, as well as a new event with exclusive rewards to earn, and even a new challenge scenario for you to show off your skills to your friends!
Here’s the short (tl;dr) list of changes:
- Unlock new profile icons, mods, and an exclusive cheat code during the Teutons Event!
- Hold out against waves of enemies in the Barbarossa Brawl challenge scenario!
- Implemented several pathfinding improvements for Villagers.
- Gates will no longer permanently lock in the “open” position.
- Adjustments to the Arabia, Bog Islands, Fortress, Megarandom, Scandinavia, and Socotra maps.
The full, detailed list can be found below: give it a read, experiment with things in the game, and then let us know what you think about the September Update! We’re always perusing our forums for the latest discussions and chatting with you over in the game channels on Discord, so keep all the amazing feedback and inspiration coming our way!
That’s it for this month! We hope you enjoy everything and look forward to seeing you on the battlefield!
—The Age of Empires Team
