F2P Like the facebook game? Heres hoping for a one currecy economy. Or better, AoE offline single player, online multiplayer, where you pay for expansions and factions.
I am curious about the f2p model as well..I heard someone mentioned that AOE online's model was quite fair.. What's really exiciting is the games that will follow..I know a lot of people will be screaming for halo but for me I'll be screaming for mark of the ninja..
It's a good news for gamer. I think AoE porting to ios will follow the Clash of Clan model, farming, recruit job, search random player fight with, Clan (maybe).
I literally scratched my head when i read F2P. I hope they dont let you buy ingame resources coz that would break game balance silly.
Buying resources would be really weird... They'd have to redesign the game. I think you'll be able to unlock units/buildings and such with IAP, perhaps buy yourself into a new era...? I'm just hoping that they won't add timers and screw the entire game up.
I just knew if Xcom would be a success,it will cause a ripple effect..Though I will still reserve judgment about this game since there are no details yet..Atleast the big M is opening it's doors to us,which is a start of something.. +1 to the IAP unlock content..Just like what firaxis did with ace patrol and haunted hollow..I am also hoping for a season pass..
Aw man..I have doubts on this one now..It could be an attempt of MS to oust or compete against clash of clans..yikes..
The game is not dead, it just been pushed to fall 2014 instead of summer 2014 : https://m.facebook.com/aoewd?v=timeline&filter=1
It's been that long I completely forgot about this game. I use to love Age of Empires but I know it'll be nothing like it was, I hope it turns out good but the few seconds of gameplay didn't inspire that belief. But hopefully that's just an early showing... I seen on the fb link that was posted that the Britons will be in the game which makes it an easy choice for me!
Age of Empires (by Microsoft Game Studios / Klab Inc.) They pushed the game to change the gameplay. I think we'll have more info in the coming weeks.
