1s >> Hello, everyone.
2s I'm Ramsey Abdulrahim. Here at World's Edge
5s we've always believed
7s that the community is the driving force behind the success of the Age franchise.
11s Over the years, we've partnered with community creators
14s from streamers to scenario designers to modders
18s and helped bring their ideas and passion into the games.
21s We've also heard from many of you who have asked
24s for more content, especially campaign content.

40s It features 19.
42s Yes, 19 scenarios.
44s That's more scenarios than any previous expansion for the definitive edition.
49s But more than that, I'd like to say victors and vanquished is a labor of love.
54s You see, before joining World’s Edge, I was a community scenario designer myself.
59s I built dozens of custom scenarios beloved by most passionate campaign players.

68s and most popular of these works with the entire age community.
