## About This Content
Welcome to Lords of the West, the first new official expansion to Age of
Empires II: Definitive Edition. Challenge friends with two additional
civilizations as well as new units and technologies. Battle your way across
Western Europe and the Mediterranean with three new campaigns, subjugating
your opponents by means of sheer military might and diplomatic prowess or
through overwhelming economic and cultural power!

2 New Civilizations

Burgundians – 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. The Burgundian unique unit is the Coustillier, a
cavalry unit that utilizes a powerful shock attack when charging into battle.

Sicilians – Experience the diverse cultures and martial spirit of the
Mediterranean’s crossroads as you build one of the most coveted kingdoms of
medieval Europe. The Sicilian unique unit is the Serjeant, a hardy infantry
unit that can construct the formidable Donjon.

3 New, Fully Voiced Campaigns

Edward Longshanks – A bitter hostage of rebel barons, Edward Longshanks vows
to reclaim his birthright and lead a shattered England to unprecedented
heights of prestige and fortitude. A shrewd commander and cunning politician,
his merciless methods are effective yet amoral. Follow him as his thirst for
power and glory takes him throughout England, Wales, Scotland, and even on
Crusade! In this campaign, you will play as the Britons.

The Grand Dukes of the West – For decades, the dukes of Burgundy have been
embroiled in a bloody struggle over control of the mad French king using their
cunning, military prowess, and immense wealth. However, as the blood that they
spill is paid for with blood of their own, their focus turns increasingly
northwards as they aim to create a kingdom of their own. In this campaign, you
will play as the Burgundians.

The Hautevilles – Robert de Hauteville left Normandy in 1047 CE with a small
robber band. Within a century, members of his family became dukes in Italy,
princes in the Holy Land, and even kings of Sicily. Join these intrepid Norman
adventurers as they fuse three cultures into Europe’s most tolerant and
sophisticated kingdom. In this campaign, you will play as the Sicilians.
