Concentrating on the late medieval period, Age of Chivalry: Hegemony replaces or significantly alters each of the civilizations in the original game, while adding a number of new ones, allowing the player to control Central and Western European states. Many new units and technologies have been added and gameplay dynamics have been changed considerably in this complete overhaul of Age of Empires II.
Unique infantry units have ganged together to ambush a cavalry force comprising Knights, Troopers, Mounted Crossbowmen and Routiers. The infantry army itself contains Gotlander Auxiliaries (Saxony), Hobescorenen (Friesland), Cliarthaires (Scotland), and Herremans (Denmark) (there may be some errors in plurals there, bear with me!).
