"Age of Empires 3"

Does anyone have any info on Age of Empires 3? whens it coming out etc.

I never got AOM. To me, it looked like a load of tosh. Why? You can't play as the Viking gods, it's overpriced and most of the reviews of it I read were negativo.

AOM is a very dissapionting game, i love AOE 2 but mythology just doesn't feel righ.Aom takes much longer to load as well although the story mode is very educational and teaches you alot about the roman empires.

There was a custom map with this feature in AOK, it was alot of fun but I don't think it would be needed in the actualy game. People can always make another custom map.

I think putting a 3D element into the game would ruin the4 franchise, that's why I love AOE so much, like the old saying

"if it aint broken,don't fix it"

I would like to see an increase in the pop limit though :)

The onlt trouble with AOM is that it's still very much in the same mould as AOE. I would like see AOE3 to break out of that 'mould' and evole a little. Something like AOE spliced with Medieval:TW was make me very happy!
A 3D AOE with the added satisfaction of HUUUUUGE scale battles.

I play AOM alot. It is an excellent game and in many ways better than AOE 2. However I'm very positive that the new AOE will be better. And I would like it if you could lock gates again, because you can't in AOM. In AOE I used to make an area surrounded by wall with a few locked gates to store my army. This stopped them running off when I don't want them to, cos that is very annoying.

i'd like to see the ability for your men to gain experience to make them stronger/faster etc. Like, ten kills gets that soilder +2 to his attack and such.

And more upgrades would be nice

What I'd like:

No population limits
More sources of food
Good gameplay
Option to kill the French
Blood effects
3D

Longbow Men! They were so class! :D Um, I'd like to see a higher population limit since I'd usually have loads of villagers so I could gather resources quickly but then I wouldn't to be able to make a bigger army but I think that's about it, the game was perfect apart from that.

I want to play it NOW
I want to use my ickle good old English Longbow men to kill the French pigdogs!


What features do you want and hope to see in the game?
