Gaurdian_112, you obviously didn’t read enough on the game. Yes, the HC is not unique, there have been games that had the HC (cant remember what game though, just read it on some post hear on this forum) but implementing the HC concept into the age series is unique. And we don’t know everything about it yet, for example ES hasn’t decided whether the single player HC will be the same as the mp HC but here I must say your right, I think they should separate them.
Also we done know if there will be a HC limit, do we? We don’t even know whether we will be able to research every technology there is.
- "On top of that, HC seems to force you to stick to one civilization. That's terrible. I like switching between civs, but with the whole Home City thing incorporated, I don't think I can bother going through the pain of starting a whole new home city just to try a new civ."
Im not sure about that, when and where die ES say that you must stick your HC with only one civ? If that’s true I must say though that your right, I would certainly want to try different civs without creating a new HC all the time but Im not even sure about that because I haven’t played the game yet.
I think that gamerswithjobs did a poor job reviewing AoE3, infact they seem like dickheads to me (sorry for the language but if you look through their reviews you get what I mean).
Dont worry, be happy.
