AOE4 has HQ textures but we are not able to access them

Thanks to @Croissantini we know that Relic developed High quality textures for AOE4’s models that make game more realistic. We can see proper colore for weapons and armours, arrows and crossbows.

I don’t know why developers didn’t implemented them into the game. They should introduce new graphic setting (for example in Coh3 you set Ultra textures only with 16gb graphic RAM.)

This graphic would made many people Happy when the game released.

I Hope developers are working on some new graphic update to release these models. It could drastically changing the game. And developers already developed them.

I’m going to repeat a question I asked about this situation.

In my opinion,… they want to make the game lighter and more fluid.

Since its current state already presents problems, I imagine that if it were even more detailed, it wouldn’t become a fluid game.

If that’s really true.

It’s another reason for Age of Empires V to change engines.

Just like the new game called Dawn of War 4, which also abandoned the Essence Engine for the first time in its history. The reason for the engine change was to be able to design the game focusing on: larger armies, with a high level of detail, with several simultaneous animations occurring on the screen. This ensured the necessary fluidity combined with high quality.

It’s Amazing.

In case anyone doubts these are the actual in-game models, I’ve gone ahead and verified that this is the case. The only difference with the exception of some recolours and some poses, these are the exact same models as the in-game units, the only exception being compressed textures in the actual game.
