Hello AoE fans, how r u? Hope y'all are doing well or at least not doing unbearably bad and be able to overcome any problems in reasonable time! :)
I've always been a huge fan of AoE and AoM games and since my good ol' times of playing AoE 3 in my early adolescence I've always dreamt so hard with the day this amazing series would continue the timeline and bring us the age that came after the Modern Age (however you wanna call it). Microsoft has been putting a lot of effort into AoE4 and it is utmost awesome to see them working in this masterpiece series again and that takes a lot of investment!
I am here because I would like to attempt to gather some wishful thinkers and sympathizers to get along with me and get MS interested in - in a future project, however far it may be - considering developing a game that would bring us further more contemporary events under Age of Empires mechanics and I'd love to discuss it with the community! I've been playing for a long time with the features I'd like to see in a World War II forward Age of Empires (I think World War I still belongs to the Modern Age and would be a bit monotonous). It is strongly based on my favorite of them all Age of Empires 2 and borrows what I consider to be the best features of AoE 3 and AoM.
I will leave here the draft of the civilizations I imagined and a Google Drive link to some things I've given some work to, such as the buildings and game modes, units, techs and maps. I'd really like to get different opinions on the matter and have the opportunity of discussing it with anyone who has ever considered it, even if only for a mental exercise and pastime! I'm not a native English speaker, so sorry for any mistakes :) This is not a "hire me" supplication, I just always wanted to see it get made!
