Age of Empires III

though I'm not interested in the game-series anymore, as well as the period covered (discovery of America), I think some of you are still interested in the announcement of the newest AoE game.

Im the opposite, with better graphics and an intresting time period I think this one could be alot better than the previous ones which I felt where overrated.  And the music and voices better be improved from the last one

"builden"

oh the south american revolutions are covered, now im definately getting it

i think its better that they focus than have that kind of halfassed aproach to non europeans that they had before, where all the units but the unique one still looked european etc, I would rather they specialize than make me play with chinese horsemen that look French

This is why RON is superior, they gave each culture group a unit and architecture uniqueness and more than 1 special unit.

Some N.American Natives would be in order probably.

I figure since it goes to the 1850s that the USA Mexico and others are there

Damn those graphics will crush almost any computer of this day.

Well if it's focusing on the colonization of the Americas...I doubt it...kind of sucks that you won't be able to play any of the NA civs though...I hope they have the Russians.

So there'll be eight civilisations.

Confirmed:
Britain
France
Spain



A German civlisation, throwing the Prussians and states into one.

Stradiot, Italian soldier.
Probably an Italian civilisation, lumping the city states together.

Portuguese should be there, and perhaps so should the Dutch?
That makes 8.

no, it's more complicated, the colony was always spanish, the colony was just an "asset" for the bankers. they've sent and expedition to judge it's value which came to the conclusion that the land is worthless and demanded cash instead.

 

 OMG, they won't seriously make the same mistake like they did in American conquest. there were no Germans in America. NEVER! the flag did not exist until 1871 and the flag shown was one of the Pacific holdings....there were temporarily two Brandenburgish trading posts in Nigeria at the time but that was it.
