Such audacity to backstab AOE3 players and pretend not to care. At least have the guts to explain to the users what your plans are for AOE3 and offer a proper apology.

What a sh1tlo4d of fcku...

Variant Civs = Devs outsourcing to indians for cheap... Scummy!

Mark my words, they will abandon AoE 4 before AoE 2. Won't forget what you did. :AOEHouse:

Sultans Ascend was the most successful AOE DLC of all time. Don't think AOE4 will be getting abandoned so long as players continue to show up. AOE3 is widely regarded as the black sheep of the franchise. It's had the lowest player numbers of all of the games, it even had a F2P model in a desperate attempt to bump player numbers and it barely made a dent. If you owned this business would you continue to pump resources into the least successful product or would you divert those resources to expand on the games that players are actually playing and actually spending money on? Something to think about.

Sorry to tell you, but Age 3 have 5-6k players by day in Europe, AoM have 2-3k, so contrast your information before saying that, and is the black sheep bc its about colonization era, Microsoft has been very upfront in ignoring this political statements, do you imagine talking about slaves, racism or something like that? No of course not, AGE 3 is on the top 5 of most played RTS, it has more ppl than Company of Heroes (if you sum the 1, 2 and 3, they give the same number as players as Age 3), so no reason to abandon a game that ppl have fun playing, is not like MS cant affort to maintain their own saga. At least we have DLCs for Age 4.

It was rubbish. Literally the only good thing was it had several water maps which are much needed in AOE4.
The civ variants were rubbish. The new civs were good but had literally 0 development in terms of story, campaign, etc. And the campaign we did get was for an old civ. Not to mention, that campaign has 0 of the appeal of the release campaigns because it had no documentary-style videos or story to go along with it, making it incredibly lame and boring to follow.
By far one of the worst products to come out of Age of Empires IP

The content was good but i agree that the campaing was a bit bad, they just copied how campaings in Age 2 works and there you have it, we will have to see how this DLCs are.

Age of Empires 3 needs Justice!!!

So every game gets something, some even several expansions, but AoE3 is gonna get completely and absolutely ignored? hahah
Guess we know now who the least favourite child of the family is :JoshuaLaugh:

Yep, incredibly sad to see, as much of my childhood was spent playing AoE 3. To see it discarded to such a level that it isn't even shown on the announcement image (but AoE mobile is, wtf?) is, in my opinion, rather pathetic.

They will probably release the variant civs first and then release the proper civs later in the year because they have not finished working on them yet...

Two DLCs? I am hyped

Meh, just more "we want money from China" content

aoe4 dlc detail? 1or2 variant? any new civ? i want detail info.

Reconsider releasing the Age of Empires 3 DLC or pay the ultimate price of losing thousands of loyal customers! Which corporate manager thought it was a good idea to kill a dlc that was PROMISED a year ago? Age of Empires 3 also has a HIGHER player count than Age of Mythology so why is the game being KILLED by World's Edge?! Do they consider this good business strategy??? Justice for AOE3!!!!!!!!

"60 million Age of Empires players worldwide."

I doubt it

Cancel Age3 DLC, don't give a hell anymore. + Ditching it for AoeMobile? Really? The scummy ads you guys put out too. Absolute shills.

Cool, more cOnTeNt as usual, but what I really want to know:
- Are there any plans to improve the godawful AoE2:DE and not great AoM:R AI to at least AoE3 levels? If only you could ask the studio who made that one how to make good skirmish AI...
- Have you finally hired your first ever tester to test new patches and DLCs, or will they keep coming with 50% chance of breaking some core game mechanic? I have experience and I'm free at the moment, let me know if I can help.
- Are you aware about 90% of the AoE playerbase does not give a ♥♥♥♥ about espurts and maybe you should also balance the games with them in mind and not just the ten sweaty dudes at the top of the ladder who reduced the game into MS Excel on Arabia?
- Which sales department clown decided to end support for AoE3:DE, by far the best and most polished AoE game at the moment?

Thanks in advance from a 20+ year fan of the series. (and fan of 3:DE and 4, 2:"DE" not so much anymore)
