Booo, no discount for owning the previous one. Still getting it. :P

Wasn't expecting new civs, that's really cool. But didn't hear anything about the card system, hoping that was revamped somewhat.

I'm looking forward to this being out so that their focus can finally be on Age of Empires 4. With how little we've seen from that over the years though I won't be at all surprised if we get Age of Mythology: Definitive Edition before it launches.

Here in my country the game costs twice than either AOE 1 or AOE 2, don't know what happened to the regional pricing here, is even more expensive than the 20 usd on north america

You should look at the older games in steam that you own, there you can find a pack with all the games at a discounted price

I know it gets hate, but this is my favourite RTS of all time, so I'm pretty excited about this.

I remember the graphics for this game at the time was stunning for a RTS.

Question: if you own the regular version on Steam, do you get this for free?

The water looks like how it first looked in the pre-release screenshots of the original. It didn't reach that quality then, but we're here now.

Oh, thanks! I'll refund it and check that out.

Looks pretty damn good. Bought both previous titles, but this I might try it out on Game Pass first. Only played base game and war chief on the original PC DVD-Rom so I'm excited for this!

Great game, looked awesome back in the day and had neat features like using Havok for destruction and throwing bodies around when shooting cannons. They also had serious in-house scripting language meaning lots of AI and random map code available as plain-text for modding. And solid in-game map editor was included as well.

Microsoft is so odd with their pricing, like Sea of Thieves is cheaper than this game here.

Anyway, already preordered it, I have ultimate but prefer to have it on steam for the double achievement

Age of Empire fanatics can hate me all they want, but this is my favorite Age of Empires game. Very much looking forward to this!

Look at that +700% from the suggested price in Argentina. Why is Microsoft so bad with regional pricing :/

I was so hyped for this game back in the day, I remember just looking at screenshots in gaming magazines and being amazed by the graphics, so this is quite nostalgic. Put me in the camp that says this is their favorite AoE.

Don't think so, Microsoft newer games are usually as expensive as in the US. Ori, Halo, Grounded, Sea of Thieves are barely cheaper

Looks great, this is better than Aoe 2. Now for the New civs I understand the incas but the swedes? Why? Not that I am complaining though.

I never got round to playing this, so I will be sure to check it out. I remember this being a bit of a looker when it was released and still looks good now with its 4K face-lift.
