Age of Empires III ~ Definitive Edition

Age of Empires III ~ Definitive Edition

Coming out within 6 weeks and can now be pre-ordered on Steam

After Age of Empire II HD Edition came out in 2013 everyone was asking if AOE3 would be next and the answer to that was a "No" but in November 2019 after Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition came out on Steam, we all knew this day would come sooner or later when the company finally would remaster AOE3

Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition launches on October 15, and comes to PC via Steam, the Windows Store, and the Xbox Game Pass for PC. Via Xbox's website, developer World's Edge says that the new variant of the strategy game boasts a number of modern innovations. These include support for 4K resolution, new 3D models for figures and buildings as well as improvements to both the audio track user interface.

All 14 factions from the main game and the expansions will continue, plus two new ones: Incas and Söta Bror himself. The Swedes appear for the first time in the Age of Empires series and describe it as "a small European nation that surpassed military conventions and asserted itself on the European battlefield thanks to its innovative military strategies" But if your like me and play mods there is already a Swedish faction to the game on a mod called " Age of Empires III: Wars of Liberty " where there are more factions than what this new Definitive Edition has to offer if you more interest in that part.

As for the Indian tribes, the team says that they have wanted to present them in a way that shows more respect for the people and their culture. How this degenerates will we all see more of when the game approaches the launch day. The series graphic upgrade and changes are quite impressive after what the trailer and images have shown so far. You can watch the newest trailer at the end of the article.

Hi just wanted to let all those Battlefront fans know that there is a page on facebook with 5,500 likes called "Who Else Wants Star Wars Battlefront III ?" The aim is to get Lucasarts to notice what fans actually want. If you wish to show your support simply log onto Facebook and go to the page and click Like.

Gaming websites have taken notice and even written articles so Lucasarts can see and every like that the page gets is another step towards Battlefront 3 being developed.

Thanks :)

For starters, modding is discouraged in Age of Empires III. You can't add new models, new animations or modify the interface a whole lot in comparison to the late and great Age of Mythology. To avoid going into details, it's nearly like they wanted to drift away from the modding community, leaving their loyal AoM fans behind in a cloud of dust.

To those who really think that the above rant is without reason, from HeavenGames site:

LordTahattus wrote: So, what are the current No-nos?
You cannot make new animations. (unless you have the customized granny engine ES used)
You can make an unit mount/dismount a horse, but it'll happen instantly since there are no animations for this.
You can only attach things to attachpoints, invisible spots in the models.
You cannot attach anything to a model if it doesn't have attachpoints.
You cannot make new firepit dances without replacing older ones.
You cannot make a new nation use the native 5-politician system nor the asian wonder system.
You cannot make Asian nations age up with the European politician system.
You cannot make units convert other units without modifying the warchief conversion ability.
You cannot type non-american symbols in the randomnames.xml file, however you can use unicode description like &#..; which refers to unicode table.
You cannot make models fatten like sheep. The three stages of a sheep are actually three different models.
You cannot have more than 14 AIs in the game.
You cannot make new revolutionaries without replacing older ones.
You cannot make natives nor Asians revolt.
You cannot make a new market work properly.
You cannot make a new mill/farm/plantation with proper animations. Villagers won't walk around it (only applies to TWC and TAD)
You cannot make a new building wich toggles between abilities (factory, dojo, rice paddy to name some) work properly.

You cannot add civ-specific music.
You cannot make skins be read outside art folder.
You cannot make units attack while moving.
You cannot make an unit transform into a different unit. You may pretend a transformation by using stances.
You cannot change lighting during gameplay using a tech or power.
You cannot add situation songs - like the revolution one.
You cannot create a tech to be researched many times (fixed in TAD).
Population cannot be greater than 200. (fixed in TAD)
While you can import models from other games, you cannot add new animations to those models. Obviously, you cannot import anything from AoK since it's 2D, don't even think about AoE1.
Town Center is the only building that researches politicians.
AoE3 only plays .wavs with very specific characteristics. Look for them before creating a .wav file.
Consulate is the only building where you can starts relations with another civ.
You cannot make a new building toggle on the export trickle like the consulate.
Macehualtin animations only work with Macehualtin model.
It's not possible to replace Town Centers with the "TransformUnit" effect.
You cannot modify Shaolin Monk's ability to create something that's not a disciple.
You cannot change a civ's flag without revolution.
