Likewise. I only played the free beta for DoW 3 so maybe it’s not fair of me to judge the game, but I couldn’t stand the direction they went with it. A strategy and scale mix between DoW 1 and DoW 2 would have been amazing, instead - everything just felt wrong with DoW3.
AoE IV needs to be the best of 2 and 3, with quality of life improvements, maybe little bit of Rise of Nations thrown in, and no loot anything.
