Hope So! But my proceedings are very slow, and I believe great things get late but make victory in the end.
It’s a game, not a philosophic book

I live in Great Britain. Officially, yes, we are the king’s subjects but he has no real political power. All the power is in the hands of politicians and people with money and influence. Laws are put forward and agreed by parliament, but the king is not involved in any of the decision making; he just signs the documents. Modern day kings should not be compared to the kings from the age of empires era, who actually did have very significant power.
Can you name any emperors who had equal freedom and were treated the same as villagers / peasants?

So you would say whoever founded and whoever worked on this game for more than 30 years and co-founded or researched on would not get a Ph.D.? The philosophy never ends, sorry if you are misguided to see the book of age of empires had no philosophy.
Yes, I have a few emperors. The King Balaram, the peasant of modern world. And the native warriors had the emperors born from the native villagers among themselves, through fights or strengths. The Shennong of China, Cincinnatus of the Rome being a dictator himself he worked on farms and brought the consciousness of being a peasant. And there are few more. People are always following the emperors in the ways and act as mirror images for them.
And for sure, I am not giving the best example, but it is a best comparable you can have King/Queen and still have freedom. Do the people over there accept the fact there is no need of a rule of King/ Queen at all? Why is there a King/Queen still in that case? There is an oppression already in that point of view. You could not deny that.
The more I read the more I can’t understand what’s the points of OP’s topic. Like what?
I’m genuinely confused here. This is a strategy game, not one that fills its focus with whatever philosophy about free rights, democracy, monarchy…
Beside gold mining, trade cart exists you know? Not like everything here is pure digging.
Please just stop bringing philosophy and idea, speak bluntly, I can’t comprehend vagueness.

May I know which strategy is it based on as the main focus? Is it the economy or the military?
Economy is not always the main focus for the empires gaming it must be the military and historical facts that’s what I asked for nothing more. And more over strategy is also a study and its a branch of philosophy.
A Doctor of Philosophy, like a Doctor of Theology is essentially an in-depth research degree. There are Doctorates that are not research degrees which are professional degrees (Like the Ed.D), but PhDs in the World History or Classical Studies side tend to be extremely demanding in language requirements in addition to original contribution. Such degrees in these fields have a greater than 50% drop rate.
To give an example, for the Ancient History PhD at UPenn, you need 2 modern research languages, at least 2 ancient languages, 4 comprehensive exams, specialization in at least 2 cultures, a candidacy exam, and so on and so forth before even reaching the Dissertation phase. Students in PhD programs can drop out even in the Prospectus phase. Even people competent in the field struggle with these degrees or are even stopped by such requirements.
Lastly even getting in is extremely difficult since several hundred people are applying for a single seat. You are not just applying for the institution, but also for the instructor in particular who you want as a mentor. If you want that person as a mentor, you can bet so do other people. Those persons are also accomplished and interesting.

Yeah, of course I get your point. Even the D.Literature. is the highest degree of doctorate. Even literature doctorate is an equivalent to doctorate of philosophy and more than that too. I hope it was what you meant. And more over as we see every field has a highest degree in the form of philosophy. So as the name says the love for wisdom is key for every field.
Even all forms of doctorates have a basic point covering philosophy. So my point is here to say philosophy is never dropped behind. Even in the fields of literature as you have spoke, it is just changed by its name as D.Litt. it is still an equivalent. So philosophy holds the prominence still.
Typically research doctorates are interchangeable in their rigorous nature and can be connected to philosophy. Not all are called Doctor of Philosophy degrees but could be because of the foundational nature of the field. We agree on this. It is more a matter of the program you get into and finding the right mentor.
Professional doctorates also fill a need in society, and also tend to have different names so employers know what they are getting. These doctorates apply wisdom from non-research centered perspectives.
Neither are bad, both help society function.
Particulars of Doctorates vary by country and culture.

I hope that I did not contribute to a nebulous reading. I was just trying to emphasize that such a program was one that even the best of the best struggle not only to get into, but also to complete. Many of the best do neither.

I can asure you, it’s as unrelated to the game as it sounds. Adding Leonardo da Vinci as a campaign is less crazy

Nah! I said a little different I want to add less gold gathering, less wealth and more military. I never wanted this to be a wealthy game at all, that’s my philosophy I wanted it to be a poor peasant’s game for the welfare of themselves through the king’s empires and its battles.
Leonardo Da Vinci was the best of his own field. I do not think he can suit for Age of Empires or empire games. And it is clear that I wanted to make this no ill but just as sound as in mind only give military forces and less focus on economy. That’s what I called for no gold digging.
