This week I found out that the new release of Age Empire IV is coming, it continues the release of this great saga of strategy games (for me an excellent game, I would dare to say better than Warcraft) where as everyone says "There is no 3 without 4". I noticed the Fan Preview last weekend, to be honest everything they showed left me satisfied, the graphics and all the innovations that they project and that they say will come in this new installment. From what I have seen in the trailer, they show us several elements of the most popular entry of Age of Empires II, which seem to be present in Age of Empires IV.
In this new installment we can play in the campaigns with the Chinese, English, Mongol and Sultanate of Delhi civilizations. Giving veracity to the context is vital for both teams. Every detail counts and one of these examples is set out in the language of each civilization; if the English are chosen, the accent will be very marked during the dark years, it is not until we advance to the following eras that they acquire Old English. All languages will have the same treatment. If we choose the Chinese civilization, they will have the same progress, also the good thing about all this is that each civilization will have its own musical background. On the other hand, the historical approach is even transferred to the visual level. During the Dark Years, the first period of the game, the textures are coarser, the setting shares its more bitter image. It denotes a lack of hope that will gradually turn around as we go through the following periods. The image will begin to take on light, life. The colors leave their dull tones to shine in every way. The choice of the Middle Ages has its logic because this age is rich in history and can be used to great advantage when carrying out campaigns.
Also one of the novelties offered to us, is the ability to play with the Mongols, because with them you can settle in other places as this civilization was nomadic.
Another important change is in the battles, both land and sea, it is confirmed that there will be sea and ships. Battles will have a limit of 200 units per player, so we can have up to 1,200 warriors fighting each other approximately (if we gather six people in the same game). One of the strategic details that we can see is the new use of the fog of war, being able for the first time to hide troops among the trees for ambushes. Also the historical battles seem most epic in scale, with even more credibility thanks to their historical setting that should make the battles even more fascinating. In addition, the game will include some new additions such as the implemented physics of environment destruction, with which we will literally see walls and buildings collapse.
Every time this saga surprises me more and more and from my point of view I expect no less from World's Edge and Relic Entertainment, who as you know are the genius creators of this jewel, although the only thing I do expect is to know the specifications that we must have in our computers to see if we can run and enjoy it since the creators have not yet disclosed this detail, it is rumored that it is possibly a game for the cloud, but let's wait for its official release to clarify these doubts, which as announced for this fall 2021 and so we can delight us with this magnificent game.
Esta semana pude enterarme de que se viene la nueva entrega de Age Empire IV, continúa la entrega de esta grandiosa saga de juegos de estrategias (para mí un excelente juegos, me atrevería a decir que mejor que Warcraft) donde como todos dicen “No hay 3 sin 4”. Noté el Fan Preview el fin de semana pasado, para ser sincero todo lo que mostraron me dejaron satisfecho, los gráficos y todo las innovaciones que proyectan y que según dicen vendrán en esta nueva entrega. Por lo que he visto en el tráiler, nos muestran diversos elementos de la entrada más popular de la entrega Age of Empires II, que parecen estar presentes en Age of Empires IV.
En esta nueva entrega podemos jugar en las campañas con las civilizaciones chinas, inglesas, mongolas y con las del sultanato de delhi. Darle veracidad al contexto es vital para los dos equipos. Cada detalle cuenta y uno de estos ejemplos se exponen en el idioma de cada civilización; si se escogen a los ingleses, el acento estará muy marcado durante los años oscuros, no es hasta que avanzamos a las siguientes épocas que adquieren el inglés antiguo. Todos los idiomas tendrán el mismo tratamiento. Si elegimos a la civilización China, tendrán el mismo progreso, también lo bueno de todo esto es que cada civilización tendrá un fondo musical propio de cada una de ella. Por otro lado el enfoque histórico se traslada incluso hasta en el plano visual. Durante los Años Oscuros, el primer periodo de la partida, las texturas son más bastas, la ambientación comparte su imagen más amarga. Denota una falta de esperanza que poco a poco se dará la vuelta conforme pasamos por los siguientes periodos. La imagen comenzará a tomar luz, vida. Los colores dejan sus tonalidades apagadas para brillar en todos los sentidos. La elección de la Edad Media tiene su lógica porque esta edad es rica en historia y se le puede sacar mucho provecho a la hora de la realización de campañas.
También una de las novedades que nos ofrecen, es la habilidad al jugar con los mongoles, ya que con estos podrás establecerte en otros lugares ya que esta civilización era nómada.
Otro cambio importante está en las batallas, tanto terrestres como marítimas, está confirmado que habrá mar y habrán barcos. Las batallas tendrán un límite de 200 unidades por jugador, así que podremos tener hasta 1.200 guerreros peleando entre sí aproximadamente (Sí juntamos a seis personas en una misma partida). Uno de los detalles estratégicos que nos asoman es el nuevo uso de la niebla de guerra, pudiendo por primera vez esconder tropas entre los árboles para realizar emboscadas. También las batallas históricas parecen de lo más épicas en escala, con aún más credibilidad gracias a su entorno histórico que debería hacer que las batallas sean aún más fascinantes. Además, el juego incluirá algunos nuevos añadidos como las físicas implementadas de destrucción de entornos, con las que literalmente veremos desplomarse murallas y edificios.
Cada vez esta saga me sorprende más y desde mi punto de vista no espero menos de World’s Edge y Relic Entertainment, que como saben son los genios creadores de esta joya, aunque lo único que si espero es saber las especificaciones que debemos tener en nuestros equipos para ver si lo podemos correr y disfrutar ya que los creadores aún no han divulgado este detalle, se rumorea que posiblemente sea un juego para la nube, pero esperemos su lanzamiento oficial para aclarar estas dudas, que según anuncian para este otoño 2021 y así poder deleitarnos de este magnífico juego.

Age of Empires 2 was awesome. I didn’t really like the third installment. I feel developers often end up in the trap of trying to recreate their earlier success and it ends up failing instead. This has huge potential though! Sounds cool
I agree with you, to me personally I did not call me much attention, I think these games should be developed from the middle ages backwards that from my point of view is where the action is concentrated 😅. Although I was reading that according to Wednesday of this week they had released I think some patches of updates for Empire Age 3, we should take a look and test it. The truth is that since I saw the Empire Age 4 trailler I've been dreaming of everything the developers promise.
Greetings my friend.
I remember many years ago playing age of empires with my friends, we always went to the Cyberscafe to play it until the owner had to run us out of the place, hahaha no doubt very good post, you made me remember old times.
I hope this new saga totally makes a difference and stands out.
Yes, I was also fired several times from those places for the same reason 😅. I hope you get a chance to play this new installment so you can reminisce about those times.
Greetings!
Thanks to you for taking the time to read this post, I hope you get to play it at some point. 😁 🎮
