I think in AOM, only the guys actually touching the building get attacked by the oil, not the ones behind them. here. almost 25/30 vills received damage.

You can also NOT influence where and when the oil is being used. That would’ve allowed him to at least attack the same side twice and score some kills. It’s all very random and supposed to just be watched passively without looking all that spectacular

Haha, saw that. These problems really shouldn’t be there in a triple A flagship game. Four years is a long time.

The game was announced in 2017, but that doesn’t mean they started active production at that point. Game could’ve gone full production in like 2019.
I see it more as a AA game. Can’t imagine that a ton of people of relic is working on these animations.

Edited original post
Added Streltsy to the ‘animation not looped’ list and the War Elephant to the ‘lackluster animation’ list
For everyone that doesn’t want to read the OP again, to try to figure out where it changed:
Streltsy:
War Elephant:

Strelci also run with their axe blades pointing up which is quite weird. But its work in progress since in the latest footage they have longer shafts and not short axes as they had month ago.

And what about chickens in main building? I definitely won’t buy a game until devs animate it

Nice post, good points. #5 is particularly important. I’ve been an RTS maniac for decades, and yet I find it difficult to tell who is winning a match or what is happening because the screen doesn’t show you the villager and military counts of the players, or the production queue. We need to see that, at the very least.
This issue in particular will make it very hard to develop a dedicated viewership for tournaments and the like.

Honestly the CaptureAge team should just make an AoE4 version

No, it isn’t. That was Philippe Boulle, who is not with Relic any longer.
“Narrative Lead - Age of Empires IV
Mar 2019 - Present”
Well…is linkedIn lying or what? This is not even half a google search away, m8.

He’s currently the Narrative lead. Which is something related to the campaigns and story telling.
He isn’t the lead director of Aoe IV however.
So unless people thought the story was notably deficient in DOW 3 then idk what people are worrying about.

Oh nevermind, you’re right, looks like he got hired back but not as game director.
You also forgot to add the animation of the ram being destroyed - it litteraly transforms into a pile of tiny splinters.

Don’t be posting people’s names online.
It’s publicly available information.
And we are only talking about their involvement on a project, nothing about personal matters.
This is nowhere equivalent to doxing etc.
