hahahhaha At this time all AOE games would be transformed as content for AOE 2 client
Better to laugh than cry
The time is going to come when AoE 2 is going to be called Age of Empires Saga and will have themes of all its gamesā¦and then you will have thematic dlcs from Minecraft Legends, WC3R, SC2, Diablo 4, SWGB DE, Halo Wars 2 and by 2030 it will end up being āAge of Warcraft, Starcraft, Diabolical and Galactic Legendary Empires Definitive RTS Editionā XD ā¦
You know, I donāt think itās a bad concept as such. Personally, I thought it was likely that AOE-4 would be about that, covering all the periods of history, but each of them treated as an independent game.
I have always thought that the original AOE III campaigns should be reworked with all the new content we have received, for example Morgan Blackās campaign should have the Maltese civilization from the Knights of the Mediterranean DLC omitting the sentinels and removing the spearmen Spaniards and adding horse archers in their place, in the artillery foundry it should be possible to create only fire throwers and culverins, this way everything in this campaign would be more historically correct, in John Blackās campaign everything is fine, maybe The war wagons could be removed to replace them with dragoons, in Amelia Blackās campaign they should change all the units and add everything from the American civilization starting by removing all the British units from the barracks, changing them for North American units and in the stables The dragoons should be changed to the carabineer, this would give better replayability to the AOE III DE campaigns, the same for the TWC campaigns, the American civilization must be added for the two fire and shadow campaigns, you may see alterations in the fire campaign which could reach the age of the fortresses for historical reasons and the shadow campaign would let you reach the imperial age, after that I would be in favor of adding a new campaign, I see that many here have requested the campaign of Napoleon which seems quite accurate to me and the most interesting to add since you could look at various civilizations such as the British, Germans, Russians and Poles
Yes, I also thought about it or directly happens after the nineteenth century, because I said "if we already have AOE 2 in the Middle Ages and Relic is known by Company of Heroes, a WW2 game, the safest thing is that AOE 4 happens In the twentieth century "ā¦ Well, I was wrong ā¦
Yes, I think that they will eventually make an official mod or fan mod replacing the Knights of St. John and the United States of the campaign for those of the multiplayer (obviously you would need to have both DLCS) ā¦ I think that the balance of the campaign could break , but what raysā¦ we want the Maltese and multiplayer USA in the campaignā¦in addition to that it would be more historically correctā¦
Exactly, here we are talking about historical precision, the balance can be improved in some way by removing some units from these civilizations that really break the game such as the sentinels and the gatlin guns, the truth is one of the reasons why almost no one plays the campaigns of AOE III DE is due to being poorly represented in the historical question, for this reason many people including me have been asking for the campaigns to be reworked in order to have a much more decent single player mode for AOE III than the one we currently have
Exactly
Its a complete mess my friend
Now the AOE 2 client is populated with 3 different games in one
Yes, the Knights of St. John can include the Maltese buildings and cards (building Fixed Guns with Morgan in the Pirates! mission and Commanderies and Order Spanish, Italian and French troops in all the campaign for example) and you have to leave out the USA Gatlings because the Steel campaign takes place in 1817 (you could have Gatlings in the Shadow campaign for example)ā¦afterwards the rest can more or less fit into the campaignsā¦
I so wish they would add a Napoleon campaign that would be big for AoE III DE especially if it has a co-op version of it as well.
That would be simply amazing!
Yes, you could play with Napoleon and Berthier or Neyā¦
The Napoleonic Dlc could be something epic and invented. The work would definitely pay off for Developers. Also there would be various changes including what some asked for (Germans divided into Prussia and Habsburg Austria). Famous historical figures, units, battles like Austerlitz or Borodino. I hope this will happen someday.
Yes, that would be a valid optionā¦a Napoleonic DLC and there you divide the Germans into Austrians and Prussians and you would use Napoleonic France instead of standard Franceā¦
This went from being a joke to being taken seriously, and I created a thread about it:
Donāt bring Early modern period to AOE-2, leave it for AOE-3 or a new game
