Microsoft is doing all the right things with AOE4

Thanks to Relic and Quinn Duffy the game has hallowed sites, aoe2 veterans get excited about a small opening in their palisades with buildings, and competitive matches can only be ended quickly by surrender.

the game has potential to become the greatest AOE game, but it needs some fundamental features always present in the past AOE games like: Pause feature in online / option to save and load online matches and the ability to connect our walls next to other walls without a huge gap between them.

ok, but if with each patch you can’t see the previous replays then it’s not practical to save them

also stuff like waypoint indicators so you can see shift queues you make, some sort of fix for smart selection to work properly, the already announced naval redo, and as last point, they proved in marketing just how far back the zoom could go, is it that much to ask for the game to allow that FOV, panoramic was a step in the right direction, but the curve zoom out has to shift into straight line assuming any additional zoom out does occur, i could list plenty of other things, but throwing all points at once is just too much to expect in timeframe this game had, and development speed, its not like they aren’t adding those things in, it just takes really long, why, idk, but thats not on me to decide, developer has to balance out what goes in at what time

The only thing I am missing right now is the ability to que the picking up a relic and then que dropping it off in the monastary. Hopefully this gets implemented in the future.

you can just set monastery gather point to relic and shift queue that back to monastery

This is annoying, they fixed it for scouts though so hopefully.

first descent, we said the vast majority of players are casual averages, they neither know aoe4word nor reddit to vote affirming that they dominate the tower rush

I disagree. I want AOE4 to be something great, a game that I can play everyday but the gameplay is too slow. I preordered the game back in 2017 and played for a few months after it released but I felt like I was trying to convince myself that the gameplay was better than it was, EVERYTHING takes so long to do. I recently gave the game another chance by playing ranked and while I do love the global queue and hotkeys; the game is tedious and slow paced. Sadly, I don’t see myself buying the new civ packs or coming back to the game anytime soon.

If you mean the duration of the games on average, it is true. In both Dark Age and Feudal (especially Feudal) a more aggressive meta than there is now should be favored. Buff rams and Nerf TC HP to 5000.
