I would love to see a civilization added to the game representing Late Western Roman Empire before Constantine when Rome was still pagan. It might be a stretch for the historical time period… but I think it would be good fun. 
Alternatively a AOE remake made in the style and game engine of AOE 2 DE completely focused on Antiquity with Northern Barbarian tribes, Greeks, Egyptians, and Parthians, and all the civilizations of the period would be amazing. The barbarians would have a different play style than more technologically advanced peers but that could all be balanced. Would love the developers who put so much love into AOE 2 to bring this period to life! It’s been my dream game since a child lol. The beauty of 2d sprites and play style of AOE series would be glorious.
However, the Developers are either uninspired to do it yet or just don’t think it would be a marketable/viable product. Totally understandable as they need to make money and it takes a lot of resources to do. This is why I continue to pour myself into my mod. To bring this concept to life for mine and others enjoyment. However, I am just one person and have a full-time job lol! So progress is slow…
Feel free to check out the latest version of my Mod here. Hope to have an updated version with new TownCenter and Graphics late April or early May.
