There's actually good reasoning behind the retarded overt reason: AoE1 is nearly unplayable by today's RTS standards. It lacks formations, AI pathing is so bad units get stuck by trees or walls and a bunch of other quality of life improvements that SHOULD have been in the so-called "Definitive Edition" Microsoft is selling, but aren't.
Clearly, the base game must be impossible to modify to add those features or Microsoft is nigger and won't pay developers to do it, so they thought it'd be better to add the Romans in a medieval game and port the rest into a separate .exe or something.
Retardation on the level of what that executive wanted in 1999 by adding Koreans to the AoE2 expansion.
