Well, I still think there's something coming, I don't know when, but we've seen the changes is activity at ES, so there should be something going on. As we said in January, it's just a matter of time.

Since they didn't mention any RTS4, there is a possibillity to appear a 2nd X-Pack for AoM. Maybe in Christhmas. [Off:Sorry for the grammar
Maybe they are not making an RTS, maybe they are making an RPG or something like that...

That's highly improbable... and I believe they already said it's an RTS.

No, that one talked about the x-pack.
I remember now, it was in a Bruce Shelley interview, where he said the next game would be an RTS which could expand any of their two franchises or with a new topic.

It would be nice if ES could tell us something. Just one firm piece of news!! SOMETHING PLEASE!! Sorry for that out burst but I'm sure there is something.
We need something to disect and put under the microsocpe at over 1000x magnification. We need this so we can speculate, invent, argue and amuse ourselves, over what may or may not be.
ES we promise not to ask for any screenshots for at least another three months if you can give us something to chew over. So we beg of you pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Sorry, we just weren't ready to unveil what we have been working on yet. There have been too many examples lately of games that get announced and then don't ship for another year or two. We don't want to be releasing screenshots for 24 months before we ship!
I know it's hard, but please be patient. You won't be disappointed.

Wow, thanks Mr. Street, that's good to know.
24 months? That's more than I expected... anyway, if the game's good, then no problem whatsoever!

Thanks for the reply Deathshrimp. I for one, would be happy to wait as long as it takes to get your next game. We all love ES creations, and I agree that screenshots are commonly released way to early.
However WE (we being ES and all the fans) all know you are working on the next title. We just would like something tiny. Just a little bit of bait for us to squabble over.
Its the hardcore fans here that want something to talk about until we are blue in the face or until the game comes out. We are the guys (and girls) that are with you for the long haul.
I'm sure I speak for most of us when I say we don't get frustrated with little bits of gaming news, we get excited!

They've taken the "anti-Blizzard" approach to their projects. Blizzard will announce their game 3 years before beta and hype the living shit out of it. ES starves us and doesn't release the smallest morsel of information laughing all the way while we drive ourselves insane. Sandy used a tactic similar to this back in AOKH when the Conquerors expansion was in the works and we were all fighting over which civs were going to be included. You guys sure do love to tease the hell out of us. I'm hooked though you'll always make my cash burn a hole in my pocket when it comes to your games, Shrimpman. I look forward to your next project and hopefully you guys will see fit to make me a VIP alpha tester once again (let's hope the cd's don't get sent to Abu Dhabi by mistake like last time... Archy came through for me in the end though )
Almost forgot to ask if anybody on the team is playing the WOW beta and if they are gonna stick around when the game goes retail. I'd like to personally settle a score with the guy who left the Italians out of the Conquerors, and the genius who insisted on both fixed tc's and warcraft-style population in AOM.

Having a mediaval Italian civ would be pointless because at that time Italy was divided up between the germans, the spanish, the french and the pope. There would be no true italian civ.
Well I appreciate an ES employee coming in here and explaining anyways. Blizzard released a Starcraft patch a couple months ago and I sure wish ES would patch AOK:TC again.
I hate the fixed-TC nonsense too BTW.
Defy me at your peril
