The next Age of Empires will HAVE to be on WWI AND WWII. The Storyline campaign would probably be about a general or a soldier within the rankings who faces their enemy. A made up storyline could be possible.

 Civilizations

USA: Of Course! Why wouldnt the US be in AoE4???

British: Lets not forget that these guys and the french nearly got their butts whopped, but they did an awesome job in the war. This is a must civilization

French. Look up here ^ foolie!

Germans: If these guys were not in AoE 4 there would be no point to playing this. Seriously.

Italy: Well, they did have an important part in WWII. Not sure about WWI from my history that ive learned.

Japan: Of course, with their Pacific Ocean Empire they NEARLY took over East Asia... till the USA came in! Besides, one unit these guys would have would be the Kamikaze airfighters (sorry if this was offensive. it just reminded me of it.)

Russia: Served in both wars, Russia had the most armies but had some big losses... i think...

NEW UNITS IF POSSIBLE:

Airplanes!!: This unit should be built from an airport or an airstation... would cost a lot of iron and gold.

Tanks: with their hard hull and with lots of firepower, this would replace the cannon.

Naval Battleships: The REALLY BIG ship. Yea, think of that. Think of that one ship that could build a limited amount of airplanes, then head back to a dock to build up, and do the same thing again... but rebuilding airplanes would take awhile for this unit.

 ZEPELLIN: Germans only.

This is what i thought for now but at the bottom i thought a few suggestions for the some campaigns in this game.

 
1) In WW1, a new US airpilot signs up to fight for the French Army as a Mercenary. [The main civilization would be the French. yes, this was thought up from the movie: Flyboys]

2) ANOTHER (ZOMG!) US Soldier and Airpilot who fights the Pacific Sea Empire (Japan). The Soldier would be in a kind of Delta Squad group... go behind enemy lines and fight there.  [Main Civilizations: US, followed by some minor Civilizations that were captured by the Japanese.]

3) A German general who is disgusted with the war and the holocaust that his country has started. So he decides to betray, bring a few German followers with him and fight with the British [Main Civilizations: Nazi Germany, and the British]

Watcha think?

 

Although this has been mentioned before, you do a good job of saying it.

The only problem with this would be airplanes. They would have to completely rehall the pathfinding to fit them in.

And to anyone who says we shouldn't have villagers, they will have workers.

I think there should be another WW1 campaign, but im not sure what it would be. Maybe some thing with the Candians and  British (the Canadians would be a modified version of the British). The Canadians played a meduim sized role in WW1. Or one about the resitance in German occupied lands.

Also, make sure that your German "traitor" dude fights in D-Day.

About the civs, here is some things that I thought of.

Germany: Vehicle based civ. Pansers, Luttwarfers, and those motorcycles. Make them a fast attack nation, because this is what their startegy was in WWII on the attack, and they used it to amazing success.

America: Commados. They launched from planes and can drive jeeps. These guys are also about mobility.

British: First one to get tanks.

Russia: Will also have some bad-ass tanks, and some good foot soldiers.

Resources could be metal (military units), food (soliders, workers) and concrete (buildings).

Concrete and metal will be mined.

Finally, culverins could be anti-tank units. In WW1, they used a lot of artillery, and almost no tanks. Another idea is gas strikes, which can killed foot soldiers swiftly but has no effect on armoured vehicles.

Oh i forgot some stuff to. sry.

Maps: The maps would take place in Europe, Russia, the Pacific, and North Africa (Some civilizations fought in north africa because Italy and maybe others took that place over)

Suggested maps: PACIFIC-

Iwo Jima

Battle of Midway

Phillipines

 Pearl Harbor

Hiroshima Japan

                          EUROPE-

London (?)

French Countryside

Paris

Normandy Beach (DDAY!!!)

Poland 

More Places to come... including areas near Russia

                         North Africa

Cairo, Egypt

 Mediterranean

El Alamein

NEW GAME MODE:

First, bring in some of the classic game modes from past games like Regicide, Deathmatch, Supremacy, King of the Hill, and the Treaty games. Second have a new way to make AoE more fun. A WORLD WAR Skirmish.

Unlike normal skirmishes a WWS ( Up there ^   ) is a turn based game that takes place on all maps in AoE4. For Example, you choose you civilization, enemies, allys and yatta yatta, then choose the map or place you want to start at.

 Next you then create 'Armies', which are a group of made units made in a army, then take territories. You can build buildings inside territories to build up you military, and economy (Docks are only built in places with water).

You can assault enemy territories (or the maps in NORMAL skirmish games) to take their territory and build up your Empire.

Attacking in WWS: There will be 2 ways to attack. One, is you take your army, attack them, then play in a normal skirmish game on that map till the player wins. Or the other way is this: The computer decides (FAIRLY) by looking at how large the armies and what buildings are there on the map. If there is a player with a LOT larger army, with navy, or Airplanes, this may give them an advantage in winning this way.

How you win in WWS?? eliminate the enemy! or... you can set how you win by 'the Empire with the most territories by this amount of turns' or... Free for all TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!

 What do you think now?
 

I saw that reply you made. You have a really good point. Airplanes would be something hard for ES to make. They would probably have to work on a Z-Axis (this right?) or something to have airplanes in the game.

I like your Idea about Canada and the British. Ill keep that idea.

And I will make sure that German Traitor fights in D-Day!!!

Heres i think something i just thought of for the ages. I couldnt think of good names

Age 1) Preparation Age : You prepare you resources and economy because the next age you get military units.

Age 2) Musket Age: You get some more economy upgrades with your economy and you get some starter military units, calvary, vehicles (probably jeeps for the US), and some military boats. The soldiers from this age will be like the Musketeers and Skirmishers from AoE3.

Age 3) Capital Age: You get military and economy upgrades. This age is where a lot of vehicles are unlocked which can include tanks and some more destructive ships. New infantry units would probably have machine guns by now.

Age 4) Imperial Age: More upgrades, but now you can build an Airbase!! =D!!! You can start building your fighters and bombers from this place to reak havoc on those below. However outposts and fortresses will have cannons and defenses to kill these planes. Anti-Air Artillery can be made in this age including anti-vehicle [um...] vehicles.

Age 5) World Age (or the Empire Age): You have all upgrades and you can build one last new building similar to the Capital. You can have those last minute upgrades that can save your life and give you that last push to you winning the fight. Oh yea, if this was a good idea, the Atom Bomb could probably be made, but it would require a lot of resources, a lot of time to build, and a one time use.... maybe. 

I'd only stick with one, because even though they were in the same half-century, they're too different.

The reason WWII isn't the same is because of trench warfare.  WW1 was a trench deadlock, while WWII effectively eliminated trenches, at least to a degree.

So I'd make AoE 4 WW1 only.  WWII could be for AoE 5.

I think this might turn into a RON-COH hybrid

 But if this could work it could be amazing.

This may sound noobish but, WHAT IS RON-COH? Just wondering

But yea i hope ES could pull of something like this
