I think all the people who give bad comments about aoe3 just hate RTS games all together. Aoe3 is gonna rule, MAJORLY rule. I hated though in aom, how the fish and farms food source never ended, SO unrealistic. The more real the better I always say.

Sounds terrible.
So its going to be the spanish, portuguese, red indian, mayan and ? And basically most of those are similar, and the aztec/mayan were already done in AOE2.
And havok physics for little figures on the screen? A bit OTT dont you think.

For all the people whining about the havoc physics engine being useless in an age of empires game, think about this.

The game is in 3d, look at the screenshots. I expect the havoc physics will be integrated just like it is in half life 2.

It's a 3d game people, now it's a 3d game with havoc physics.

Why can't people get their heads round this? :P

GamesAreFun says that AoE3 goes from 1492 to the dawn of the 20th century, and--important now--there will be an Age of Empires IV picking up where AoE3 leaves off, will include both wars, and will end at the modern day.

I hope Patton is a unique unit. Time to finally play a WW2 RTS that doesn't suck. Hopefully I can combine tank flanking with air support.

Yay for AoE3. I'm sure it will be excellent. Not very excited about the timeline though. All those other Caveman to Robots RTS's always got kinda boring right around the point where everybody gets guns... Right where AoE3 starts out! :/ Ah well, I trust the guys at Ensemble.

The time period doesn't do anything for me.

The Havok physics engine? What exactly are they going to use it for? Unit collision? Terrain deformation?

Does anybody have any idea about a release date, even rumoured? I'm just trying to calculate this here..... they had the license to use the Source engine for how long, that's the key question I think. From the screenshots, it certainly looks like they're pretty far into development anyway.
