Welp, here's hoping I can upgrade in time to take advantage of the beta.
And look under the hood to see what kind of modding/customisation tools we will get with this iteration! (Yeah as much as one can hope for nicely balanced civs and better matchmaking, I'm already fixing to bust open the hood and add a nitro canister)
Hopefully a fully fledged modding API for all the Age games...a more intuitive and more widely-supported 3D format...better AI scripting and more tools for random map generation.
No AOM makes me cri

edit1: Let's hope we will be able to import our existing AOK and AOE3 scenarios and custom maps into the "Deffo Edition". Or at least convert them easily into the deffo formats without losing all the triggers.
edit2: also maybe rebalance AOE and AOK combat to include hard counters and pierce resistance, so less chariot archer laming and pikes/halbs that actually counter tarkan raids instead of wasting army space.
