Hello,
I would like to suggest adding a Quick Match vs AI option to Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition.
Below, you can also find a small concept I made for this new multiplayer mode.
Right now, the game only supports ranked Quick Match against real players. As you may know, and according to many community polls, a large number of players prefer playing co-op or solo against AI, but the only way to do that is by manually creating custom lobbies.
Both Age of Empires II and Age of Empires IV include a Quick Search vs AI mode, and it is very popular among casual players, newcomers, and people who simply want fast matches without PvP pressure.
A Quick Match vs AI mode in AoE3 could use the following structure:
- Game Mode: Supremacy, Empire Wars, Independence, Regicide
- Difficulty: Easy, Standard, Moderate, Hard, Hardest, Extreme
- Game Sizes: 2v2, 3v3, 4v4
This would make it much easier for players who enjoy multiplayer against AI to jump into games quickly, without needing to set up custom lobbies every time.
I believe this feature would greatly improve accessibility and quality of life for a large part of the community, while also bringing AoE3 more in line with the modern RTS standards already established by AoE2 and AoE4.
Thank you for considering this.
