Pretty fun campaign, finished in a night. Not extremely challenging (at least for me), but a straightforward play-style made it enjoyable. Nice to see that not every campaign can only be completed by an expert player, or by using difficult exploits to gain an advantage. Interesting map theme and unique landscape. Was also happy it was more than one scenario, and was not forced to save repeatedly throughout. Also interesting to see unique perspective of history. Another plus was being able to play as the Slavs for several games, and to see a bit of their strengths.

The designer shows great love for his country and it's history, and the campaign was quite immersive. Impressive work. If anybody is still playing AOE2 HD, give it a try and enjoy the campaign.

Wanted to congratulate the author on a well made, unique campaign.

Oh, I looked in there. There are no community campaigns. I don't expect the mod maker to resolve it, it's just one of those things. But if I'd known to look there in the first places it would have saved some time.

How to start the campaign:

Single Player > Campaign Menu > Community Campaigns: The Golden Age

PLEASE give clear instructions of what to do once subscribing, for the casual player! I subbed and couldn't find any option to play this campaign, so it was a waste of time.

@nfinity183 Thank you!
Actually I'm working on a new campaigns based on the Slavic history, but for the Definitive Edition, so your recommendations could be very helpful!

* In Mission 1, there should be way more enemies on the road. The very few tough units you do cross can be easily converted due to their isolation.
* So, the wolves are your only enemy in Mission 2? There could be a little more. I'm guessing this mission is purely for show, but even in that case, I wish it didn't take so long for the Monks to reach the other side of the road.
* In Mission 3, the Magyars are no threat to your base because you start with a tough base. They also aren't very aggressive.
* It would be nice if the Byzantines kept attacking you after their first couple of waves in Mission 4.
* Mission 5 would be harder but not overkill if you started in the Castle Age with fewer resources.
* Zaharija is a wimp! Even with his decent numbers, why does he start in the Castle Age?

Regardless, I enjoyed this campaign a lot, great job!

Alright, I just played the campaign! Here are my thoughts...

* The scenery is gorgeous throughout the whole campaign. You did a great job fleshing out the towns and bringing life to the Balkans!
* The entire campaign is incredibly easy. It's on par with the William Wallace learning campaign. However, I could easily imagine it being a more genuine challenge with some of the following tweaks...

Uh, am i supposed to do something other than subscribe to get this to work? My start menu has changed and the mod is listed in installed mods but its not showing up in the campaign menu.
