Return to Rome: the nostalgia of bad pathing / June 2023

Jolly June! Another month, another Kings and Conquerors episode.

The Roman Empire was notorious for its well organized and mobile army.

So of course this transfers to the worst pathing in RTS gaming history.

But on a more sincere note, we dedicate this month’s episode to the revisiting of the original Age of Empires game with the release of the ‘Return to Rome’ DLC for Age of Empires 2.

We cherish our nostalgia and try to give you some guidelines for jumping into this game with an AoE2 background.

Of course we also discuss some of the latest within the community and finish with your trusted civ of the month!

We hope you enjoy!

As usual a detailed overview of this episode can be found below.
