The Golden One - Age of Empires 4 Announced. Good Times!

00:00:00.640 Greetings, Laddingtons. All I can say at this stage is good times. That is my analysis.

00:00:08.360 First we saw the release of Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition and I must say it looks

00:00:14.840 absolutely amazing. I showed it in my Vlad Let's Play. Then we saw Warhammer Fantasy

00:00:22.540 coming back to the old world. Also great news. And the third epic news in terms of culture

00:00:29.720 is the announcement of Age of Empires 4. So you see the gameplay before you and yeah

00:00:37.960 I am very excited for it. I might sound a bit like a new male when I say I'm excited

00:00:43.880 for a computer game but as I've said in many other videos, Age of Empires, all games, Age

00:00:50.940 of Empires 2, Age of Mythology, Age of Empires 3 even, have all played an important role in

00:00:58.780 my enlightenment process, especially in terms of history and in regards to Age of Mythology.

00:01:05.680 Yeah, it created a truly epic sensation and some pride in my Nordic heritage. So anyway,

00:01:12.300 what do I hope for in regards to Age of Empires 4? First and foremost, I read in an interview

00:01:18.480 that they will make the game a bit more diverse. Now when I say diverse, I mean it in its actual

00:01:26.460 sense so the civilizations are a bit more different to each other because that's one of the weak

00:01:33.980 points I would say of Age of Empires 2 that most of the civilizations are quite similar to each other.

00:01:40.700 So you have the soldiers looking quite similar regardless if you are a Britain, a Malai or an Aztec.

00:01:47.500 So I look forward to a bit more of diversity in the correct sense of the word and also in terms of

00:01:55.900 gameplay so that the Mongols and the Britons and the Vikings and the Aztecs etc. that they play

00:02:02.540 a bit differently rather than just having some differences in the tech tree. So anyway, I am

00:02:10.680 excited as I said and in other regards I just wish the game is as beautiful, as aesthetically

00:02:19.240 appealing as possible, that it is as historically accurate as possible so that it can contribute to

00:02:26.040 the great learning process and yeah, it's good times ahead. So yeah, hopefully more people can get

00:02:33.560 a good sense of history via playing Age of Empires. So thank you for listening to my excited thoughts. XOXO, boom!
