Even if they were slightly easier to kill, there's more of them. It'll balance out fine I'm sure. My guess is that normal games will last about as long as as did AoE2 games.

I'd like to see them easier to kill, when I was watching the videos, it's weird to see them do the volleys yet not alot of people are dying.
But the canon ownes, no even pwns all.

I would like to see some elephants as one of the unique units of the ottomans. Could you imagine sending them over across the sea on a boat and having them fight against the british and stuff. I think it would be cool, but unless there is a cheat or expansion, it's highly unlikely that it will feature elephants. I never understood why they didn't have riders either.

*sigh* they won't be.
On the AoE3 website there is a part showing all the Ottoman's UUs and they are not there, although it would be pretty cool.
But maybe there will be a cheat... (doubtfull)

well the fact that they had a Forkboy cheat for age of mythology( a really pointless cheat) there is always the possibility of an elephant cheat but i also doubt that they will have it in the game

If there's no Easter eggs or cheats in a game, then in loses some of its chutzpah if you ask me. I've always had fun unlocking units that serve no purpose or characters that are utterly worthless; it's just a part of a game that you expect to be there, then if it's not you're disappointed.

one bad thing is that some of the units move to fast and it just dosent look right but this could be because its not finished yet. oh and the music sounds stupid in some of the gameplay movies.

oh and m I the only one that thinks if u got hit by a cannon ball that ur head would be ripped off or ur leg they should make it so that if one man is hit dead on by a cannon ball they should be missing some limbs or somthing.

The music may sound bad in the videos because the videos of game play were recorded using portable devices (I suspect the majority were anyway). I'm sure once you can play the game for yourself the music will have a better quality and sound loads better. It's not like ES to put distasteful music in their games, to my knowledge.

To your inquiry about the cannon balls: see Armed Rebel's response to you here.

The first two games have a good array of music that was done well IMO. I would personally like to have a more profound score of classical music in this game. Take music directly from the timeline of this game using it would be great.

Is it just me or is this the only GD thread I have seen with an actualy discussion rather than just spam?

Compared to, say, San Andreas?
So I need advice, should I, spend 300 on PSP not and get a new video card later, or buy new video card now, and get PSP later?
As to music, I like what they have up at the site.
I really hope they have tunes from Master and Commanader with the violin, it's cool.

I say take the $300 and spend it on prositutes and just forget the video games.

On the real just get the video card. Handheld systems are for losers anyways.

Random question of the day: Will it be possible to play AOE: III on line wit dial up? There wasn't any lag on II, so I'm hoping the same is true for this.

Eh, I really don't know.
I'm sure it will be like any other game, you'll be able to play smaller games er whatever.

Eh, I'm the wronge person to ask.

But hey, I have a cool new avatar! Can anyone guess what it is?

Shadowking, i think I love you.

I haven't got any new games since I picked up Fight Night Round 2, NFL Street 2, and Def Jam Fight for NY all at one time. I might go out and pick up a baseball game in the near future though.
