WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

This is looking SWEET. I've been a huge 'Age of' fan - played through every game - many many hours of enjoyment.

Check it out::: IGN AoE III Interview

It comes with three HOT looking screenshots too :thumb:

He wants them to learn to walk and must therefore take away His hand; and if only the will to walk is really there, He is pleased even with their stumbles.

Healing hands of God have mercy on our unclean souls
once again. Jesus Christ, Light of the World, burning
bright within our hearts forever. Freedom means love
without condition, without beginning or an end. Here's
my heart, let it be forever Yours, only You can make
every new day seem so new.
Every New Day - On Distant Shores - Five Iron Frenzy

Nail pierced hands they run with blood
A splitting brow forced by the thorns
His face is writhing with the pain yet it's comforting to me

It's about dang time. Age of Mythology really wasn't my cup of tea....


Anyways, yeah, Christmas brought some nice surprises to RTS fans. Not to break too much off the subject, but Red Alert 3 and Empire at War (Star Wars RTS being made with the help of Ex-westwood) are in the works, if you haven't heard already, too.

Any word on when it's planned to be released? I haven't read the interview, yet.

I really like AoE, but not AoK. I'm not really looking forward to AoE3 since I'm not really a fan of the Exploration age.

Wow, it looks like this is shaping up to be on a completely differant level then pervious installments.

Pretty cool stuff, thanks blacktea! ;)

Depend on it. God's work done in God's way will never lack God's supply. He is too wise a God to frustrate His purposes for lack of funds, and He can just as easily supply them ahead of time as afterwards, and He much prefers doing so.
- J. Hudson Taylor
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
