Created by CaptureAge, Chronicles is a series of DLCs set in the ancient world, taking the core gameplay and balance of Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition and pushing it a step further by adding multiple new features inspired by the time period, along with a complete visual overhaul. Inspired by the popular Rome at War mod – whose creators are now part of the CaptureAge team – the rich world of classical antiquity was chosen as the setting.
In Battle for Greece, the inaugural chapter of a multipart saga, players will engage in a campaign that spans over a century of history. Experience the fury of Persia during the Ionian Revolt, make ready to defend Greece throughout the Greco-Persian Wars, witness the dawn of democracy in the golden age of Athens, and brace yourself for the devastating trials of the Peloponnesian War. Encounter legendary figures along your journey like the fierce warrior queen Artemisia, the cunning strategist Themistocles, and the valiant general Brasidas — each brought to life with stunning voice acting and vivid storytelling.
In Alexander the Great, the second chapter of the saga, players take the place of history’s most renowned conqueror. Follow his bold advance into the heart of the Persian Empire, face the fearless war elephants of King Porus in India, and witness the vast reach of his campaigns before his dramatic return.
Along the way, encounter towering figures such as King Darius III and command new civilizations, all brought together through animated cutscenes, powerful voice acting, and immersive narrative detail.
