The original Age Of Empires was released in 1997, right in the middle of the genre’s golden age – although it was its sequel that was the franchise’s real gem and is still remembered today as one of the best examples of its type. The reason? As good as they were almost every game played exactly the same, whether it was set in deep space or the ancient world.
And yet within little more than five years the genre was essentially dead. If a trade route disappears from view then it doesn't belong to you.Age Of Empires 4 – it feels old-fashioned in more ways than one (pic: Microsoft)Īfter 16 years the Age Of Empires franchise finally gets a new sequel but is the latest entry too similar to the old ones – or not enough?įollowing the release of Command & Conquer in 1995 real-time strategy games became the most popular game type on the PC, with every Western publisher in the world rushing to make one. Also, you don't need FOW off to see along your trade routes because they're always visible on the campaign map. The trade route colours go- Green is yours, allies and neutrals (no enemies), White is neutral factions only (no allies or enemies), Yellow is yours and enemies (plus allies and neutrals as well) and Red is trade routes that your enemy uses. so my question(after my long meandering diotribe) is has anyone found a way of turning FOW off?The trade route in red is your enemy's trade route which means you can raid it. any way, none of this would have been possible without the Cheat, but what i soppose i meant was that i would be able at least to see who was raiding my trade routes if we could turn FOW off. so they will be next on my list, and as they are not protecting my trade routes(that one is shown in red) which i guess means i am getting nothing from it? and i am not land locked with them at all, but i think i will concentrate on the natives first. I am America or at least i will be when i have thrown all the Europeans out, starting with the English Obviously, im allied to france at the moment but have had no help from them at all, Typical. i just build more revenue producing buildings.īut what is really ticking me off is the "land raiding" of my trade routes, i mean how do i solve that sort of problem. All the money makes such a difference, i dont have to worry about the "your troop upkep is to high" message any more.
