maybe they will have a modern american civ. Then you can wall a lot.There is a big discussion about which time period age of empires will cover.. and at least in reddit, the common assumption is that it'll cover a "Post-modern Age", smtg from Industry tuill World Wars... people are just missing the point.. this is Age of Empires what and it could make sense to cover this time-range, if you stop to think that the last empires fall during WWI (Otomans for example), but if you look at an "Empire List" like this on Wikipedia, or search for the "Biggest Empires'.. it's easy to remind of Roman Empire.. Mongolian Empire.. those were the guys who conquered half of the world, no offense but who gives a **** about Colonial Empires :roll: Age of Empires III tried to explore that.. boring...
I keep the faith we going to see a wide time range (Age of empires I + II + III) instead of a "New" Age with crappy empires being crushed by Napoleon and ****.. not to mention the cool thing in age of empires isusing Archers, Cavalary.. Medieval Warfare in general.. how the hell are we supposed to play with submarines and complex resources... steel, energy... **** that, food/wood/gold works better than beer/drugs/girls...Walling, at least for me
Some can point out "but how can the Assirians be fighting the Huns???" well **** it, we're used to see Huns stomping Aztecs.. those empires were separated for 1000 + Years... Huns didn't survive long aswell... i can accept it easier than **** "Drush" with hc like units.. :roll:
