Imo, the biggest hint was in the event itself. All the guests were AoE2 casters - sure screams medieval era to me.

I've heard a couple people cite that as evidence, but I'm pretty sure Microsoft used that line because it's a play on words, not because AoE4 is going to take place in an era after than of 3.

I think its valid to think that was a play on words. A new age is upon is meaning a new age of empires and a new age in this series.

- We need to look at a different system of developing games where the balance of power and decision making isn't placed on a couple of people who ignore team feedback and lead us down the wrong path. It caused a critical failure with Dawn of War 3 and it's now causing our next big game to be an epic failure as well because the team's opinions simply don't matter. It's insane that a couple of team members decide the entire direction of the game without any real effort to get input and buy-in from the team. This approach could work if we had the right visionary type people, but we don't - instead we have design leadership who are invisible, out-of-touch or who are extremely difficult to work with due to their arrogance and bully-like approach.

The fact that a Relic Manager responded to it gives quite some credibility I think, and they've even admitted that "Many of the points laid out here we’re aware of".
