Age of Realm 4?

Post by gimil »

I was just having a thought. If DiM ever came back and made an Age of Realm 4 what would you like to see in it graphics and gameplay wise? What would you call it? How would you like it to be themed?
What do you know about map making, bitch?

I think if there were to be another age of realms it would have to be totally recreated, no similarities to the one before. I love the maps but I don't think there is a market for a forth one which looks similar

Same here... Having 4 maps with looking pretty much the same, to me, is a waste. Gameplay is different, but not by a whole lot.

So would a new trilogy, on a new layout be a better direction to go if it should happen?

Definately, I'd suggest going down a more complex route. For example it used to be Iron Mine + Blacksmith to get a bonus yet it probably should have a negative for manning one of them without the other. Also things like the food, farms, etc. which are needed not to incur a negative bonus, furthermore, fresh water. Houses, to house the population, factories to be able to improve production levels.

I think that the box needs to be widened every eventuality, having two food sources should give bonuses as it improves health.
Then there are luxury items, gold, silver, which can be made into jewellery. I'd like to see a map with conditional attacks. So you can only attack over water by boat if you have a boat builder, which requires timber, think Civ 4 without technologies

I think there is no call for a fourth. The three we have now are of different gameplay entirely, but there is a reason why it is a trilogy.

I would rather see more map series like the US 6 Map Pack, and AoR than have one of these extended to contain more maps.

A new age of realms should use the Idea of the research and conquer map that was recently shutdown.
