[Posted by Anhilator78:an idea (might have been mentioned): instead of allying with tribes,ally with smaller nations eg the anzacs, or small european countries]

You racist *** ! The ANZACs (Australia + New Zealand Army Corps) played a huge part in WW2, especially in Asia against Japan.

Emmzy:

It would be good if it had australia.. cant forget us... we played a big part in the war:)

I totally agree! 

 

Finland lost to the soiet union in the winter war, but they outnumbered us

Strenght
250,000 men 30 tanks 130 aircraft[1][2]	1,000,000 men 6,541 tanks[3] 3,800 aircraft[4][5]
Casualties and losses
26,662 dead 39,886 wounded 1,000 captured	126,875 dead or missing 264,908 wounded 5,600 captured[7] 2,268+ tanks

And we owned them!

So Finland could be a Civilazion in Aoe4 even if it would not include the Winter War.

the anzacs saved the allies in the german advance. they also had the best general (monash) who was said to be the man to take over haig. Australia was tiny compared to canada and australia was the only army who didnt introduce conscription and they formed their own airforce and navy and it was the anzacs that spearheaded most major attacks. in  the second world war they held tobruck with the help of poles and british gunners for 8 months and the south africans only lasted 2 days. Rommel, one of the best generals of the second world war said he could conquer the world with australians. the 39th held kokoda against the invincicble japenese. they were the first army to defeat both the germans and japenese on land in ww2. they should be a major civ or at least the best unit in the british army.

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?

 

i think all these things about aoe4 would just make a new game that has no difference with the RON (Rise Of Nations)

kamikazes wud be like petards =P!!!!!!!

your idea was great i loved what u said ip to WWI i dont know if they should do ww2 i have company of heroes i play it 2x more than tad. it is considered the greatest ww2 game of all time i just think that if they make another ww2 game it will just be blown out of the water by coh. espically because coh has it down pat they have everything u could want trenches, bunkers, artillery, it is a great game it has planes but only in the commander tree (kinda like a home city thing) you do not control the plane but you do control were they go/ attack plus coh is currently working on adding the russian front. you have to remember it is an rts game like aoe but its all about ww2 they have so little to focous on that you can ensure that it is a great game. plus they still can do the pacific theater all they are doing is the european theater. i just think that aoe should probably make up something like ww2 but not ww2 that is just my opnion. ps coh graphics are like 100x  better then tad

I dont think i would want ww1 or ww2. maybe the civil war or something. they just need to expand the civs.

Why would you need more civs if you're only going to be playing in the US civil war?

Many southerners had eyes on building a Caribbean empire with a slave based economy decades before the war broke out. There were several filibustering attempts to create new republics in  Mexico and Central America (google William Walker for more info) and Cuba was being considered for annexation. Having the CSA as a civ would be very interesting, but might be socially inappropriate to fight for slavery.

War in the late 19th/early 20th centuries was not just confined to 1914-1918 and 1939-1945. Italy had been fighting the Ottomans in Libya for a few years prior to the outbreak of WWI. The Italo-Turkish war also saw the first use of motorized aircraft in combat. The Italians also fought campaigns in Abyssinia (Ethiopia) and  were defeated in the 1890's, until Mussolini re-invaded and was victorious.

Japan's first major victory was over the Russian Empire in 1905. They secured the island of Sakhalin and gained a foothold in mainland Asia. More importantly, this war showed the rest of the world that Japan had entered the scene as a force to be reckoned with in the East and the new phase of imperialism would not be only Europeans dominating the rest of the world.

Nice to know you get your history from Hollywood. This is why there are so many clans based on the 101st Airborne Division in WWII fps games. The Lafayette Escadrille was a real unit made up of American volunteers. They gained invaluable combat experience while serving with the French and when the US finally entered the war, their skills and expertise laid the groundwork for the US Army Air Service.

Everyone wanting this game to be only on WWI and WWII need to reread your history books. There were tons of conflicts fought between the end of the AoEIII era and the world wars that barely anyone has mentioned here, many including civs already in AoEIII:

The Franco-Prussian War

The Russo-Turkish War

Italian, French, and British campaigns in colonial Africa

The War of the Pacific (Chile vs. Bolivia and Peru) 

The Boer Wars (the British Empire fighting against Boer settlers in South Africa)

The Colombian Civil War (which was instigated by the US for economic gain and control of Panama to build the canal). 

British campaigns all over central Asia (Afghanistan, the Northwest Indian frontier)

The Boxer Rebellion in China

The Spanish-American War

The Russo-Japanese War 

The Italo-Turkish War 

The American blockade of Veracruz, Mexico and the Mexican Revolutions of Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata (which saw American intervention and political involvement by Germany on behalf of the Mexican government).

The Russian Revolution and the subsequent invasion of Russia by American and British forces in 1920.

The Sino-Japanese war (Japan expanding it's empire into China a decade before Pearl Harbor)

The Spanish Civil War (which also had mercenaries from Germany, Russia, and the US fighting for both sides). 

 
...the list goes on. The timeline of history didn't just go from the US Civil War, then nothing, nothing, nothing, oh! WWI, nothing, nothing, WWII...
