Age of Empires

Probably the best strategy game of all time but is there ever going to be an Age of Empires IV? I've looked on google and it just gives me stuff from 2 years ago, does anyone know anything about something new from Age of Empires?

starcraft 2, although it's a lot more intense than age of empires

I played the closed beta and found it a delight to play. Give it a chance. It's like that Zelda game that everyone thought was a kids game and terrible because of its graphics.... and on release was universally praised

online out today, free for most of the game but you can buy a retail version.

Ensemble Studios that developed the AoE series, their original plan was to have 5 AOE games, with IV being in modern ages and V being in the future.

However the Ensemble Studios closed down after developing Halo wars in 2009 and so dont develope age of empires anymore.

Since Ensemble Studios was owned by microsoft, they own the rights to the name and Microsoft studios have created age of empires online

Been playing AoE Online for past few days, havent played the previous ones but im really enjoying it, think i might even buy the premium celt civ when its released in a few months

Also loving age of empires online, dont be put off by the cartoony graphics, give it a chance. Theyve merged an RPG with items with the strategy of Age of empires. It pays homage to the original age of empires, and is well worth a play through.

Age of Empires online is great fun and ive played pretty much all of them

Didn't Ensemble Studios make that Halo strategy game too? Halo Wars? I know it didn't get the best reviews but it was a bit of craic to play. I'll admit, Age of Empires 2:Age Of Kings was my fave!

Similar games eh, Cossacks: European wars was sort of a spiritual successor to Age of Empires (That is what the makers said) but is better in so many ways! Its still very playable and is very enjoyable when playing against other people. Its AI isn't bad either and it has a lot of campaign missions and historical scenarios. Its expansion pack Back to War adds a lot to the original game as well. I saw it was re-released on Steam for a cheap price a while back.
