What are some new mechanics you would like to see in AoE5, if they ever make it

I’d love to see Iron as a resource instead of Gold, and make the trade routes from your base to the neutral market produce the actual gold by selling your resources (Food, Wood, Stone, Iron).

I’d also love to see domesticated animals for all civs, as food production that’s a tier above farming. Maybe food from farms could fatten them.

Some city building elements would also be nice, like very basic production chains. Stronghold had them in the 90s, along with silos and storage platforms, and they were very immersive. It would also be cool to see villagers walking around your town with carts, making it look lived in and allowing more opportunities for villager harassment.

Technically, iron ore was there even before ancient times, but it started being used for weapons in the Iron Age. If you look carefully, you’ll notice your spearmen have these tips on their sticks, and they aren’t made of plastic.

Glad we could agree that iron existed in the Middle Ages, and even in Antiquity.

AoE V should be either Antiquity or being made as a sucessor to AoE III.
I think is time to revisit Early Modern Era to Industrial Age, again!

The only thing I’d like to ask is that it doesn’t have cartoonish/animated graphics.

The more realistic, the better.
