Looks nice from the lil' screenies. I guess they'll be using the AoM engine, AoK interface and all the possible ages (like in EE) for a winning game. Is that ES's secret project? Did I seriously miss something while I was away?

What the hell does AOM have to do with Rise of Nations? I don't remember God Powers or MUs. Plus AOM has way better graphics...so far.
If you REALLY look at it more carefully its more like:
~Settlers series = the territorial control gameplay (way older than AOM) ~Cossacks = the infinite resources ~Age of Empires series = the interface ~Empire Earth = with the large number of ages

AOM will kill EE and rise of the nations rise of the nations is just a copy of EE and AOM.

Thanx for the link, Seqenenre Tao . AoM does look better (I only saw the 3 little screenshots b4 I wrote the thread... warned you I wasn't in bussiness for a long time ...)
"Big Huge Games"... what a name...

I disagree. It seems like your just looking at the screenshots. Read the preview and let me know if you still feel this way.

This game is more then a year away, but it looks cool. It almost looks like a really refined version of the AoK engine. It's 2d right? This game might be a serious challenge to AoM.

I saw this already, and I'm pretty much looking forward to it.
Although, I wouldn't say it's AOM though.. It's more like an AOK/EE mix.

The screenshots just scream that it's made with a hybrid of the AoE engine.
Just testing my off topic button. :P
