I'm a big fun of Age of Empires too. I hate Age of Mythology though. That is good news, that that they the seies are not dead yet. :D

yeah..Age of Empires is the first game i did my teeth cutting on...as far as strategy games go...and I still love this game alot....

Now we are going to get something updated as far as the game design (3D),versus the older 2D..with ragdoll physics....and the game being run on the HL 2 engine ( or similar...same company makes the ladder).

I would buy it... nice!;)

Nice! looks alot more like it....more lifelike.... I can just imagine using those ships and carrying out some good battles.....

You might say that we are now offically in the age of 3D everything...and its going to make things alot more real than ever before...I like that.

A bit better than Stronghold or not? ;)

[megaspazz]

agreed. a big step up from aoe2.

[FrnchDp]

I'm sure it'll be better than Stronghold.. man.. I'm just drooling here. This one is definitely going up on my "must have" list!

Looks Juicy! :r

I've been a huge fan of AOE, one of the only RTS games I actually liked. I've been looking at the stuff for AOE3 since the news about it came out a while ago. Just read the review in PCG, looks sweet. The thing I can't wait for is the destructable inviroments.

I'm really looking forward to this. As long as the game is not a clone of recent RTS games, I will be sure to pick it up. I am a big AOE fan. Personally I liked the first one and the Rise to Rome expansion pack. AOE 2 was good, but Conquers was a bit disappointing. AOM was just ok, but lost it's appeal quick to me.

The game screenies and graphics look really good.

Someone or some designers went to alot of trouble making this....
What a big jump up...

I am usually very critical and picky about strategy games..but from the concensus...alot of gamers here love the first one and this gives rise to a whole new celebration....

Its going to be interesting to see how popular this game will become ,once it is released.

Predict it will go gold ...even before the actual release date...

Another late night ..stay up all night affair..I can see it coming..;)

AOC was great. It made it a little too easy online sometimes though. That's why most people stopped playing it and kept playing AOK.
