AOE is one of the first games I remember playing (I was about 5 or 6), so this is a bit of a matter of the heart for me. I’ve seen a lot of good suggestions to improve the DE from the original game. Keep up the good work community 
But one think that I’d really REALLY would like to have is an option to choose between DE and original gameplay: for EVERY game, SP or MP. I’ve already read there is a “classic” mode, so not sure whether that is gameplay and/or graphics. But if there are going to be new buildings, units or game mechanisms, there needs to be an option to en- or disable them for every game, so you get the full control of your AOE experience.
Giving an option is always a good way to go as long as you don’t divide the community too much. So I strongly agree with you. But you should look at the other side which is making changes and additions doesn’t neccessarily ruin a game. I don’t mean that more differences means better game but listening to ideas and making the game more “complete” with more content is really appealing especially with a game like this.
Totally agree with this. I’d go even further and suggest selectable rulesets and game modes allowing for expansions and workshop-like content.
completely agree.
mainly for graphics - the original games still look good and it will really add to the nostalgia
Some of these may be in the DE. http://upatch-hd.weebly.com/
I really agree, but I hope anyway that the new gameplay and ruleset wont differ too much from the original one.

I think Cysion confirmed on reddit that they’re usign the UP balance changes.
I’m not saying that I’m not in favour of changes, I’d just a like to have some sort of control to customize the gaming experience.
