I understand, bro, I went through the same thing as you a few months ago, simply because I reminded them a few times on their tweets that Age of Empires 3 existed.

Same!
I was banned only for Memeposting their fake announcement with Poland-Lithuania and Denmark PNGs on X. This is getting out of control man!
A shame that on October 14th, just 1 day before III 20th Anniversary, they are releasing Chronicles Alexander the Great DLC for II DE

A wonderful period of Human History I must say
i always dream of Napoleonic Wars Campaign, Golden Age of Piracy, Revolutions, Independence, Civil wars and so on and so for!
A golden gem and a missed opportunity
Age of Empires III you are deepely missed!

Is this supposed to be a criticism of what I said?
Looks like confirmation. Ottos have almost a 10:1 kd ratio.
This is good news in principle. You’d hope the next game would be so good that it would make you abandon AOE-3, but that’s likely not going to happen.
With this in mind, players prefer to improve the current game rather than wait for another disappointing title.

But what if the new title is so good in graphics and gameplay as AoE IV was SUPPOSED to be?
What would happen then?
AoE4 is good in gameplay, although it may lack soul in some aspects or have a questionable art style.
Let’s focus more on what’s coming next and get more attention so WE can resume development and fix what needs to be fixed in AoE3.
I’m having fun with Retold. It is such a fun game.

Making good graphics is not too difficult.. Older games did it well in their time, and then even better with remasters. AOE-4 opted for a less organic style, which isn’t compatible with a franchise based on history and war conflicts.
We just need a rough, organic look, like the classic games.
It’s more complicated here, but I’d say AOE-3’s gameplay should be the template for the next game. AOE-4 has AOE-3 mechanics, but introduced in subtle ways, and only in certain factions and situations, when many of these things should be global. For example, the Ottoman Imperial Council should be a global mechanic for all civilizations.
AOE-3 has some very good core mechanics, such as:
Troop training in batches of up to 5 (standard).
Treasures on the map (Incentivizing exploration and micromanagement in the early stages of the game).
Minor factions, mercenaries, and outlaws (Making each map feel even more unique).
Pre-established trade routes (Incentivizing map control).
Progression system (Experience and metropolis cards).

Will we ever have Age 3 returning to receive DLCs?

New DLCs with civs, campaigns, scenarios or PVE content would be good but Patches, Updates and Hotfixes are very much needed ASAP!

Rofl!
In the entire game, the guy only built 12 Sipahis, 20 Nizam Fusiliers, 6 Abusgunners, and 10 Great Bombards. And that’s his score.
I was trying to confirm you understood my statement. Seems like you got my point.

III features and gameplay are good for that game but objectively is not for a brand new game
This have been demostrated over and over again, just see why II and IV have more players than III
I don’t think so. Many things can be extrapolated to other periods. And the best things AOE-4 has right now, most of them don’t come from AOE-2. Besides, in the latest AOE-2 DLCs, they’ve introduced AOE-3 mechanics, and they’ve been well received.
As long as they don’t mention they are AOE3 mechanics.

Yeah, that is a joke of bad taste…they again are promoting a dlc that should be for 1 DE or at least Return of Rome instead of doing one dlc for the 5th anniversary for 3 DE (2 DE had its 5th anniversary dlc last year)…
