Man they do not get enough credit for how they absolutely knocked it out of the park with aoe2 4 and mythology. This is one studio I would love to see Xbox heavily invest in. Try and bring back some love for rts games especially since they got so many ips now. I want to see Warcraft, StarCraft, Age of Series, Rise of Nations, Halo Wars shit even branch out to some licensed stuff I would love to see a Game of Thrones rts or anything that would fit an rts game

I’d love to see a Game of Thrones game in the Age of Empires 4 engine. With dragons, giants, lions, etc. Add a political element to it (like the God Powers in AoM).

Rise of Nations, that takes me back - adored the Civ-style of advancing all the way to the modern era, combined with the AoE RTS style.

Lost so many months to that game when it came out - it’s in my top 5 strategy games of all time, along with Shogun: Total War, Call to Power 2 (and the Civ series in general), Sim City 3000 and AoE2: The Age of Kings.

(Just missed the cut but worth a shout out particularly as it’s well worth supporting the dev at the moment, Cossacks was another favourite due to the huge battles - while Empire Earth, Pizza Tycoon and Dungeon Keeper are all Top 10 too for me)

Just finished this gem again! Can’t wait to see what they’ll do with the new civilizations.
