Re: Confirmed AoE3:DE information
Interesting they would go to the length of making unique buildings and units for a nation that is not in the game, but only is in the historical battles section.
Maybe they are planting a seed for an African expansion down the road.

I love the detail on the towers when he zooms in on them.

Re: Confirmed AoE3:DE information
Wait! In the last minutes, there is also a preview for another scenario with Yermak (famous Russian explorer of Siberia!). It is played against the Tatars!Squamiger wrote:lets change the topic-- there's African units / buildings in the game!
I am very happy to see this, since it is the first campaign (except for Malta) taking place in Europe (Chuvashia)!
I also still hope for more content taking place in Europe itself, e.g. surrounding the establishment of German settlements in modern day Romania (which would have a colonial character).

Every RTS does that... having units and buildings in it which aren't used. WC3, SC2, AoE, etc. do this.voigt1240 wrote:Interesting they would go to the length of making unique buildings and units for a nation that is not in the game, but only is in the historical battles section.

I wouldn't read too much into that.

Didn't the total war franchise do that to some extend for example?
They introduced the portuguese faction in shogun 2 via an in game event where you were able to capture some of their european ships in battle, but that was all. And later on they added the portuguese to the game for good.
I also think paradox interactive with crusader kings 2 flirted with in game events regarding nations and People to the east which were outside of the map, but later was introduced via a dlc.
I'm sure they have brainstormed the idea at some point. Would be interesting to see them Come back to it down the road.

Re: Confirmed AoE3:DE information
From this article, not sure if it has already been posted somewhere: https://www.ageofempires.com/news/interview-joss-ellis/
We are mentioned twice, about the balance and about our maps.

That's because we are completely op. Like... the trainable spahis among gaming communities.

Re: Confirmed AoE3:DE information
I like these two excerpts from the interview :
World’s Edge: What kind of work went into all the graphics improvements for Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition?
Joss Ellis: First, we overhauled the entire engine: moving from DirectX 9 to DirectX 11. Each texture and model has been updated, as well as all the in-game cinematics which were re-rendered with higher fidelity. This means players will see significant changes from when comparing the original Age of Empires III to the Definitive Edition: including improvements to the cliff visuals and readability with triplanar texture projection—all part of a reworked procedural generation code with new pixel shaders. The terrain was also redesigned with a better blending system that gave our artists more control over blending between the materials, including a brand new FFT-based water system and river generation.
Under the hood, we also put in a Physically-Based Rendering system and SSAO & TAA graphic options. The physics engine was upgraded to the newest Havok system, and the particle system was upgraded with new dynamic lights. Not to mention, we put in an all-new destruction system! All of this was done with significant performance improvements, so the game now better utilizes the GPU and multi-cores where possible.
World’s Edge: What kind of quality of life changes were made for Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition?
[...]
We also added a grid hotkey mode, right-click mouse scroll, and made the UI more informative: such as information that identifies why a player cannot acquire a particular asset. We also made it so you can copy other people’s decks in multiplayer! In fact, a lot of work was done for multiplayer support: including a new server-based multiplayer infrastructure, integrated leaderboards, ranked ladders, and matchmaking!
The team also overhauled the UI: making it scalable and familiar to veteran Age fans. There’s also a new in-game tech tree, and we added range and progress indicators for buildings.

"All of this was done with significant performance improvements"
Re: Confirmed AoE3:DE information
Yes, you can do that. The new features and textures need more power to compute but this is cushioned by better use of our hardware (Multicore, DirectX11, new physics engine, etc.).flontier wrote:"All of this was done with significant performance improvements"

Re: Confirmed AoE3:DE information
How can they say they used our input if there aren't even trainable Spahi in the game?

Re: Confirmed AoE3:DE information
ok, no more NDA then...
Hows the game balance now compared to previous betas?
Inca still can force every game to take 2 hours? Native explorers are fixed?

Signed up on October 1 and uploaded all the necessary stuff. No Steam key. Oh well, at least I can watch the streams.
