I'm playing through the single-player campaign right now and... I'm really not seeing why the game received such a mediocre reception. Maybe it's the online play (which I have yet to try out), but the single-player gameplay is a blast.

I'm on either the last or the second to last mission right now and hearing about the expansion made me all sorts of happy.

Maybe one of the parts to the expansion will be a new online client since ESO is probably the biggest piece -o- garbage i have ever used.

Here's to hoping for the 4th they'll just remake the 2nd and/or 1st with new graphics that allow for more/bigger everything.

I didn't think AoE 3 had the same magic of the last two AoE games. I'm not sure what it was...but it just wasn't as fun.

Can't even believe that there's a market for an expansion - the base game was pretty disappointing for all but the most die-hard and less-discerning fans of RTSs. Not interested in this in the least.

How about an expansion that removes home city and indians, and set the starting time 1000 years back. Also add asians. Or just copy Starcraft and make it better. :P

I loved the story in AOE III. If the expansion has more than 2 hours of game I'll pick it up for the single player alone.

This is why I'll never by an Ensemble/Microsoft game until the first expansion is announced.
