I've been playing this game on and off since I was a kid and as a Bulgarian I can't say how plesantly surprised I am that there is a Bulgarian civ and campaign. I'm so happy that this community is still so active and that the devs are continuing to show it love and support, incredibly underrated game!

Indeed. Age of Empires 1 and 2 were the first computer games I ever played (before we even had a computer at home) and the first ones that got me hooked and made me interested in strategy games in general. I remember how almost 20 years ago I was discussing with friends rumours about a hidden Bulgarian civ or how it's being made for a new expansion or as some kind of a mod. And now those rumours are finally coming true!

Oddly enough Ivaylo was probably not a regular farmer, most likely a powerful Despot who's crest was that of a Warthog. Possible missinterpretation by the Byzantine Chronicler who named him so. Its a very fairy tail-ish interpretation but a welcome one. Odd that they didnt choose more prominent rulers like Krum, Simeon or Kaloyan.

I am the designer of this campaign and Ivaylo's personal story -- how it has come down in history, whether misinterpreted or not -- struck me as a powerful one to share with Age of Empires players. Bulgaria's history is unfortunately not very well known outside of that country. I thought focusing on a character that wasn't just another king would resonate with players from around the world. The life of a common man who challenged the rule of a "tsar, a khan, and an emperor" and fell tragically is a powerful story to share.

@@filthydelphiacreations1619 Oh so you designed it? Interesting. Can I just ask what your nationality is? And I must interject on the last part on the last part-the Bulgarian rulers never used the title Khan. That is a misconception, rather one of many that I hope you and the other devs didnt fall into. Which is why I am curious in reading the history entry for the Bulgarians in the ingame encyclopedia. Btw: Are you able to answer some more questions regarding the shaping of the campaign or civ or is it just confidential behind the scenes stuff? I am really curious to see what the development process was like for it.

A playthrough of these new historical campaigns would actually benefit a lot from giving it some additional historical context. Especially when the newness of this game wears off. Nothing out of the ordinary is needed though, just some Wikipedia bits about the historical units and what happened IRL would make these playthroughs a lot more interesting for the average viewer, who doesn't have a clue about the history of Bulgary.

What the guy above said. Ivaylo was most likely a retired officer that had to put together a militia band and defend the region from raids. With his raising popularity and the increasing incompetence and foreign influence in the capital he had to cease the moment. The communists LOVE ignoring details that are inconvenient to them. Same with Spartacus and the nature of the Third Servile War. The majority of people fighting were not slaves, but simply Latins who were fed up with Romes incompetence in land reforms.
