>So do you think Relic has an angle here or are they just incredibly retarded?

Why not both?

After what they did to DoW 3, they are dead to me.

>Every dawn of war after 1 is entirely different

>"HURR DURR GUESS THE CONSUMER DOESN'T WANT DAWN OF WAR NOW"

Why do companies keep doing this.

And best DoW game is mod.

Imagine DoW armageddon as full fledge game. Just Total mayhem on map, Huge maps and huge number of troops for every one. Fuck balance just mayhem on map. It would maybe be greatest game ever.

Fuck DoW, I just want that Men of War mod to come out well. And have a SP campaign.

It's what I wanted but with slightly better visuals, better optimization and actual balance.

That or a 40K Wargame

I've never seen a studio more retarded than relic with how they handle their IPs. Even EA gets a pass since they're just Jews and not exclusively retarded.

I wish CnC type games would come back. Or supcom types. Everyone's just making "safe" strategy games now and it's fucking gay.

BUT ANON IF YOU KEEP PLAYING OLD GAMES YOU'LL NEVER BUY NEW GAMES

I wonder how big of a mess will Age of Empires 4 be?

>>16115935

It's gonna be like age of wonders but there's going to be nothing fun about it and it'll have even less units on screen than dow2.

>>16115935

>Power Core Mo-er, I mean, Destroy The Castle Mode

>Only a castle to protect, no towers or walls to build because that means strategic depth and the casual market doesn't like it

>three lane maps with patches of farms to take and gold to mine (other resources gone because muh streamlining for e-sports)

>these resources never run out but must be reclaimed, gotta make sure people don't stress out about running out of resources or poorly spending them

>focus on a single, civ unique unit as the core of your offensive capabilities, the rest of the units (swordsmen and archers only, no horses because I don't want people getting mad about rushing) are basic support units that can't decide shit in a battle

>no campaigns and "skirmishes" are just all of the above because single player is dead and is shit and nobody plays it stop falling for that meme multiplayer and e-sports are the future lmao

Relic royally fucked up with DoW3 and became incredibly transparent about chasing dumbass trends like retards, I have no reason to believe that my above speculation (or a variation of it) is what awaits us for AoE4.

>>16116048

no reason to not believe*, I'm retarded.

>>16116048

Considering Halo Wars was even more watered down than the first game I have no doubt that Microshit will be totally ok with this.

WE WANT THE ASSFAGGOTS AND STARCRAFT COMMUNITY

>>16116278

I wonder what the issue was

>>16116339

>>16116278

You really have to wonder what the hell is Relic's priorities are now.

>>16116339

Pajeet and female hires were allowed near a computer.

>>16116404

Releasing Age of Empires 4 and keeping what's left of their fanbase?

>>16115935

3 was already shit and made me give up on the series, as for dawn of war it was clear we werent going to get a nice RTS after what they turned DoW 2 into. People dont seem to understand that once a company decides to do something there have already been multiple changes behind the scenes, most of the time permanent ones.

>>16116424

>releasing AoE4 will let them keep their fanbase

Considering the pattern, I don't think that'll be the case.

>>16116048

That would be amazing to see them kill DoW, then AoE, and finally CoH series all in a row. Only way that could get better is if they die off at the end too. I'm still angry about DoW3 and I want them to suffer a slow death where they are forced to watch all their lifelines burn away one by one. Fuck you Relic.

>>16116413

Yeah I was about to suggest one of their resident diversity hires tripped over a power cord and never said anything.

>>16116436

>>releasing AoE4 will let them keep their fanbase

I never said that was the case, but considering how many normalniggers the AoE community has I don't doubt for a second that they'll shit on whatever community they have left to get a new one that eats literal shit and asks for more.

Most of the Relic employees who worked there from 1998 to 2004 are gone anyway

>>16116473

Every time they show the face of a dying company it's always the same. I wonder what the common theme could be.

>>16116525

At least when you go shoot up the place you know it's all legitimate targets.

>>16116525

It's depressing how excessively white the image on the left is.

Guess that's what wesenlust feels like.

>>16116485

Stop thinking right this instant, bigot.
