There are two options:
Isnt this already covered in aoe3?
WW1 and WW2 should be its own game as current game format dont support it that well,looking at you ron.
AoE 3 certainly does not overlap with WW1 because it lacks the entire range of “modern” weapons, from tanks to fighters. The conventional limit of the AoE 3 time frame is: 1400-1876.
Maybe some ambitious DLC adding additional Ages could extend this time frame by an additional 40-50 years.
Definitely yes! WW1 should always be treated separately from WW2. The end of World War I was the end of great centuries-old empires. Mentally, WW2 was a completely different war with different rules - a war of totalitarian regimes, not empires.
Of course, actually AoE 3 covers from the beginning of the 15th century to the end of the 19th century…
AoE 4 for now does not cover the classic period…the campaigns cover the year 1000 onwards…
I agree…the game is good, but it needs more polish…
That’s already AoE 4… following the “new” chronology started in AoE Online, AoE 5 should be in the colonial era (1500-1900) or industrial-modern era (1900-2050)…
I don’t think they will make an AoE subseries for 3 modern games…making games takes time and also the games would have very few ages to advance…
I doubt it AoE 3 already has 5 ages and that is enough for the 4 classic ages of the saga…
Yes, that is, AoE 3 includes the Victorian age (which would be the imperial age) but it does not include the technical advances that occurred in the belle epoque (1870-1914)… you have Gatlings and Ironclads, but no machine guns or pre-dreadnoughts. You have colonial looters from African Scramble and some technologies from the 1890s from the African natives and the South African deck and the “Victorian era” technology from the Hanover and the boxer rebellion card in 1901 in the Chinese deck…you have everything the Wild West theme that ended in 1912 and the Mexican update of “Porfiriato”, which goes from 1876 to 1911…and so on, the only thing that would happen in WW1 would be the Finnish Revolution of 1917 for the Swedes and Russians…
Yes, it wouldn’t be the first time they’ve done that…TWC moved the chronology forward to 1876 and TAD moved it back to 1421…they can always add more content in the dlcs from both the 15th century and the 19th century… but I don’t see AoE 3 introducing WW1 but rather leaving it for a chronologically later AoE (which would have to be AoE 5 or AoE 6 if AoE 5 is a colonial game again)…
Yes, that is, it is not necessarily that they cannot be empires, in WW1 the empires that we know from AoE 3 fought, but then the empires that survived the conflict then fought in WW2 against the Third Reich, the Italian Empire and the Japanese Empire and after this began the decolonization process that dissolved the empires that we know in the 1960s and 1970s… Great Britain got rid of its last large territory in 1997 with Hong Kong (it has military bases in Cyprus, on islands in the Indian Ocean and the Falklands) and Portugal with Macau in 1999… in America France has French Guiana, Holland the Caribbean as well as France and Denmark Greenland…
In 1920, after WW1, these were the empires that remained (many would last the rest of the century)…
