They can't take the first 2 away from me anyway.

>Dead on arrival?

>Coffin for relic?

>Nu-history black vikings?

is she even a history teacher or something like that?

Theres no point playing any age of empire game past 2.

No doubt it's going to be historical revisionism to the extreme, expect WE WUZ going strong, evil Greek hoplites oppressing poor Persians who dindu nuffin'n sheeeit!

>>13886444

checked. somebody with shooping skills should put molyjew in it and label it 1 dollar for humanity.

>Persian-looking Pharaoh

KANGZ

At least they didn't make him black, they probably have better sense than that.

>[CURRENT YEAR] Relic

What >>13886352 said. Incoming trainwreck.

Company of Heroes was never good

>>13886495

He's weird. He looks like a brown Obama with a hwite straight nose.

How's AOE3?

I liked AOM a lot too

>>13886557

It is okay but definitely not a good sequel to AoE II.

>>13886557

AOE3 is a dumbed down version of AOE2.

>units counting different population points

>only 3 resources, no stone

>building limit, fortresses only allowed through special cards, town centers limited to 1 per age (some civs can build more though)

>small map

>only FFA or 2 teams allowed, no 3 or 4 teams

>campaign set in fictional events instead of using the era to explore major events such as American Revolution and Napoleonic Wars

It's like they were trying to make a dumbed down AOM2 instead of AOE3

>Play NegroNation

>Starts out with flying pyramids 'n melanin magic units 'n automated KFC dispensers 'n shieeet

>The more the game advances the more tech you lose

>3 hours into the match

>only units are naked spearchuckers

>glorious flying pyramids have become mudhuts

>any unit that comes close to an enemy automatically gets converted into a slave of the enemy faction

>>13886590

>units counting different population points

This seems like a good idea on paper, but I'm sure they didn't make it feel right.

>NO STONE

Why? Mining 4 different resources was the COMFIEST shit

>Limited town centers

I only played random against AIs, so I don't know how significant this is. I think you could build them anywhere in AOE2, but AOM had specific spots for them, which I think was an okay mechanic. I like the idea of a limited amount, but I suppose it crimps the strategy of some plays

>>13886590

Age 3 + expansions + editing your XML file to instantly build whatever card deck you want is a grand old time though in my opinion. My Chinese banner armies with a full deck of buffs is virtually unstoppable.

>>13886348

They're remaking the first one.

Windows 10 exclusive

>>13886339

How is this any surprise after all the AoE2 expansions that featured worthless mud people parading as famous civilizations?

I hope you like playing as the Ethiopians or that you like your Portuguese black.

>>13886507

company of heroes is great and you're retarded

but relic went directly into the shitter after that

The TC limit was clearly inspired by AOM, while the building limit was mostly due to the lack of stone. Stone was the most rare resource (only 350 stone per mine compared to the 800 gold mine) it would limit the amount of towers/castles you could build, its removal meant that something else had to be made to limit the number of towers/fortresses you can build. I'd prefer they kept stone, as it rewards players that can mine resources from all over the map being able to build more towers instead of being stuck by an artificial limit.

The unit limit was also inspired by AOM, meaning that a stronger unit would take more population slots. Although this is a good idea on paper, AOE is known for its huge armies. There is a reason why everybody plays with 200+ population instead of the default 50/75 of AOE1/2.

now that i look at this picture again, we kind of have age of empires V with halo wars

>>13887808

I'm actually looking more forward to this
