✨ Pre-Order Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition NOW; Play it on October 15!

Hello everyone!

Some of the people on here might own AOE3 not on Steam or Microsoft Store but brought it in the store as a physical copy.
Is there the possibility to get the discount of 25% too? Thank you in advance!

Greetings,

I really loved Age of Empires 3, but one thing always really held it back for me. And that was the lack of good unit controls.

Because of the lack of robust unit controls everything had to be constantly micro-ed all over the map at all times. Every unit had to be manually babyitted basically. It really just became annoying, frustrating, and unfun at a certain point because of that. Especially when you got a lot of units.

In order to reduce frustration and enable more fun with larger battles, the units need to have more control options on them. The unit controls in Age 3 DE need to at least be as good as the controls in Age 2. When the original Age 3 came out I seriously couldn’t believe that the units had less/worse controls than in Age 2. I never understood why they did that. It kind of ruined the game for me.

On top of better unit controls, I would like to see more formations and AI options for the units. Here’s an example of a similar thing I was talking about for the Total War series: https://www.reddit.com/r/totalwar/comments/iea6d2/wishlist_for_more_advanced_combatunit_controls/

I cannot wait to try this out. I am waiting for like it a little kid.

i would prefer to wait until march if it has voice chat!

The campaigns in AOEIII are my favorite in the entire franchise; especially the Japanese campaign. Any chance more will be included in the future, with or without fancy animation?

Wish there was some sort of benefit pre-ordering would give us besides saving us a few minutes of transaction.

Don’t forget about the Americans and Italians. If the Persians get added and the Middle Eastern building set is made, the Ottomans would most certainly get their building set changed to the Middle Eastern one because you know, the Ottomans are a Middle Eastern civ.

Maybe you could get fixed AOE2DE before keep doing new editions full of bugs.
