My opinon is that Ensemble has been able to Maintain the intrest of a large scope of people with games that mark cignifisent events that happened in hystory. I mean even mythology played a powerful part of in the way people thought in that time. They beleived in it and based there lives on these myths. So the game brings to life the way people lived in that time, which is facinating. To me AoE and AoC made hystory more intresting to me, I learned lots playing those games. Theres enough game companys that are doing run offs of Warcraft and ensemble. For ensemble to copy one of them would be to cheapen its name. Ensemble needs to come up something completly origanal to mantain its following.
