A Childhood Dream

Back when I first got started PC gaming (at 5 years old), I fondly recalled playing Age of Empires, and then Age of Empires II and III. But then Ensemble was dismantled to my (and I hope many other people's) horror after finishing Halo Wars (which to be fair was a rip of Tom Clancey's Endwar). SO I recently stumbled upon this lovely picture of what they were planning to do. It was included in their original AOE Box Set as a plan for the future, what was known as the Age of Empires Project. I hope this gives you guys the same nostalgia it gave me. 

mmm. i remember this.

Damn, Age of empire IV would have been sweet <3

Yeah the art for it looks quite nice. It's my dream that one day Robot Entertainment or one of the numerous other Ensemble successors will collaborate to make AoE IV. I even had an idea on how the system for gathering and fighting would work (since they don't often occur in the same area in more modern combat.
