These five warriors are a hoplite, a knight, a redcoat, a soldier, and an advanced armor clad warrior with what appears to an enhanced optical visor. In this art, five warriors from different ages of human history can be seen. Why do I assume this? Well not only has the next major release in the series always followed suite of it’s predecessor, but art (you can find this art I am referring to by googling 'AoE art poster') released with the release of AoE 3 depicted an Age series spanning from classical era to the future.
I assume that this game is going to cover everything from the late 19th Century, which saw Ironclads, locomotives, self-contained cartridges, and the first machine guns to the late 20th Century with it’s jets, missiles, and assault rifles. Now, seeing that AoE IV is finally being developed, I will assume that it’s going to pick up where the last #-based game in the series left off, AoE 3 in the Industrial age. First of all, I want to say that as an old Age fan, I’m excited to see the continuation of the Age series.
