Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
Wololo,
Now roses are too.
That’s my favourite Age of Empires enemy conversion joke. I’m telling it now because Age of Empires is back with a new sequel in development at Relic. It’s hard not to be excited about that: Easy to fondly remember the sprawling ambition of a game that sought to take us from clubs and stones to centurions and ballista in under an hour. Impossible not to admire the nerdy love for history that saw the series build campaigns around Barbarossa and Montezuma. There’s something inherently PC gaming about all of that.

But there’s also something terribly ‘90s about it, too, which doesn’t feel so great. There’s a danger in letting the RTS genre grow lumpen and static. Shouldn’t it have other big licenses to rely on by now? And if not, why haven’t they materialised?
