Historical Battles (Age of Empires II)

This article is about the game mode in Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition. For other uses, see Historical Battles.

The Historical Battles in Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition are a series of sixteen unrelated scenarios linked to the Africa campaign page (although none take place in Africa).

These scenarios are a combination of those belonging to the Battles of the Conquerors and the Battles of the Forgotten in previous versions of the game, with some scenarios having been reworked. Langshan Jiang is replaced with the similar Lake Poyang.
