Can we expect good news for the fans of the classic game on October 25th?

[jimmy19846071]

Another possibility: they could announce a new game set in the ancient times with all of the modern features.

[ExemptedScarf68]

Improbable for now, but possible in the future. Age IV has a long way to go first.

Both hypotheses have, as a basis, a simple statement: AOE1DE has been definitely abandoned.

We will see that for sure on October 25th! But better to keep low expectations,unfortunately…

• add Flare
• some lobby/hosting improvenents
  A) ability to check main lobby even if the player is inside a hosted game ( featured in others DE game ). Would be great as most games are played on lobby browser.
  B) ability to ban at least 3 maps in random map ( players love random map but some times dont wanna play a specific map like island )
  C) ability to pick hidden civ
• turn alt+right mouse click the default unit pathfinding or at least make this as an option in settings ( it improves the pathfinding without any change in coding)
• 2 new random maps ( like ghost lake and team island )
• 2 new unit upgrade:
  A) light cavalary ( scout upgrade in bronze or iron age )
  B) heavy camel ( camel upgrade in iron age )
• land trade
• some new campaigns
• better mod support

@Korowizard

Good suggestions. I would add gates to that, but the rest is essential.

And also exchange of resources in the market and 200 of pob in campaigns…

@nostrodomosFU

I loved AoE1 and love AoE:DE

I also like AoE 1 by historical period, but in gameplay I prefer the AoEO, which would be its remake / spinoff…

@AceCard32543944

Since AOE1DE was released, the number of new content items for it has been a constant: zero. We have seen tons of them for AOE2DE (dozens of new factions, campaigns and so on), less for AOE3DE (few new factions, few historical battles but zero campaigns) and who knows how many for AOE4 (which is ihe latest one, so it’s expected).

I have two hypotheses for 25th October:

• Nothing will be released for AOE1DE.
• Or, part of AOE1DE will be added to AOE2DE. For example, the Western Roman Empire in Attila and Alaric campaign have been represented by Byzantines, so we could expect seeing the actual Romans be added as a full faction.

Two civs and maybe campaigns for these for aoe 4… and on aoe 1 DE would be simply events for aoe 2 DE and aoe 3 DE…

o

i would add some units foreseen in age of empires 1: beyond the indus mod. Among them caravan (land trade unit) spearman: tool age junk unit, anti-cavalry unit. Note: Would give this unit a bronze age upgrade. I could name it an elite spearman that in addition to more HP could add +1 range just like the Kamauyk unit from Age 2. Bronze Age Scout Upgrade: Light Cavalry. Flame thrower: one- or two-range siege unit, anti-build unit and anti-siege unit, with fast fire rate. in addition to technologies shown in this expansion project (Beyond the Indus).

another unit that I remembered now would be the slinger upgrade to the bronze age: Improved slinger.

[ArkadasLlisa]

Improved Slinger is a very bad name, IDK how they chose that in the mod.

Elite slinger
Mercenary slinger
Skirmisher
Etc…

Anyways, don’t expect nothing for this anniversary and maybe you will be surprised.

[DIOGOBARROSO85]

Good suggestions for improvement.

I would add these:

1. Team Randum based on the link to balance teams without having to build teams.

2. Badges for players according to the link.

3. Possibility to customize the civilization to the player’s criteria. This would generate permanent financial income for future updates.

4. A team survival mode against invasions based on time and difficulty.

We did it, guys Imagine “You Are Victorious” screen here

AoEDE confirmed to be ported to the AoE2DE engine

No, it cannot be true… can it be? I have dreamed about something like this to happen for so long, and now I just feel like in a dream yet lol Thanks to all of the first Age community that kept believing when so many have fallen along the way! And thanks to the devs that still care for the game and listened to our suggestions to keep it live! Honestly, I will only believe for real after seeing more solid news, but that is very encouraging so far! EDITING: Forget what I’ve said about more solid…
