Day/Night cycle

Age of Empires: DE I - Discussion
1

I really hope that AOE:DE will have a day/night cycle, it was really amazing in AOM:EE, what do you think guys?

I am not a big fan of what they did with the lighting effects in AOM:EE.
But maybe someone could add this as a mod.

It’s always sunny in Age of Empires.

Is a 2D engine. You can’t have sush thing in the game.

They have a clouds shadow effect. So technically it could be possible if that affects everything, however it would not look so good imo being just a filter. You need lights as well, fires etc. But, being the first game I think they’ll keep it sunny. There is no strategy to the day/night and would just be a time consuming graphical effect that a lot of people would turn off :slight_smile: A lot would like it too of course.

They need try each unit and building by light effect and re-renderized all.
