They will release the whole game with minor changes as they did before in 4-6 years and they will take 20-25 for it. They will also release some DLC and it will be too expensive for the little features. I had to lower the graphic to get it run fluently. Played an online match and got kicked after 30mins - no way to recreate it because we did not save. I hate my friends for forcing me to buy every new version of this game and i hate microsoft for this and other reasons too.

However, that is easy only because function for saving everything is already in place. There is a reason why many rts don't have complex map editors like aoe, and that's because it needs a ton of information to store. map geometry, texture and info (ie is tile walkable)for every tile, object for every tile, spawn points, scripted thingies...

Two things I would like, an option for Grid Hotkeys, so all hotkeys are mapped based on there position in the task bar realities to the keyboards layout. So the top corner is always [Q] if you're using a the standard Qwerty keyboard. This would also double in allow us to always know what the basic hotkeys are for scenarios that have custom units/abilities as it's based off of geography and not some random letter. The Second would be the ability to enter specific map seeds into the skirmish/multiplayer map lobbies. Yes you can go to the scenario editor, enter in the seed and save the map, but that's a little tedious and no one does it. It would also be nice if at the end of a match they could display the map seed and maybe add a small button that you could click that would copy it onto your clip board so that you could easily paste it down.

The hotkey button works a little differently for buildings now, for example: If I want to build a lumber camp and accidentally press "E", I don't need to cancel the command, press Q and R again, I can just press R and it will scroll to the right building. I am not sure if this is an update, but it sure does make laying buildings easier...

Empire wars in interesting as you don't need to make a specific scenario to play and can be used with random maps and give you some villagers and a town instead of choosing a castle age start with only 3-10 starting villagers, town center and scout. Yes copy triggers is great along with those new features. And lots of quality of life improvements, farms fish traps, and ordering villagers and other units to do stuff. Rotate gates is nice to finally control gates without needing to put palisade walls first and diagonal gates are better since their sides are now preventing anyone from going through them.

I think the gold edition of Age of Empires (A box set pre the HD reamke containing AoE 1 and II + Expansion) contained at least a video tutorial on how to do a few things in multyplayer, like getting quick into feudal age or something, but they were somewhat hidden in the replays.

I want to add on another hotkey features. As we can select CTRL 1-0 for 10 quick hotkey we set in the game, next to the commanding / build order menu at the bottom part, you notice there is a "+" sign button at the middle of the bottom screen. You can select the units you want to add into that screen, so you can quick click to split all of the units in formation, or counter attack.

Wow. I don't even play RTS much because I always suck at them (especially the micromanagement) and even though I own the original and 2013 edition, this is such a significant overhaul that I will definitely be getting this.
