Taking the BF3 trailer to a whole new level! (Yeah, the site is slow as hell to load but it's worth it!)

http://ageofempiresonline.com/ (Trailers etc)

Gameplay: "MMORTS".

Story driven "quest" (mission) system.
Professions and crafting (pretty complex and "hardcore").
~4 equipment slots per unit (craft gear, or find it in loot chests)
Level 1-10 are pretty dull.

While actually playing(pvp etc), the game is very similar to age of empires 2, although the graphical direction takes a bit of getting used to.

Sounds interesting, gonna check it out.

How does it work if your cities are alive and vulnerable twentyfourseven? I doubt one can wake up one morning to find his cities destroyed. I'm sure it's easy to find out how stuff like that works elsewhere, but I'm lazy

Your city is always safe, pvp is conducted by arranged matches via "Arena" or random matchmaking (within your tier/level range) via a building called War Council.

There will be other forms of arranged pvp on release/after release afaik

First levels are pretty dull btw.
And if you try it, make sure to read tutorials etc, it's very easy to get behind on crafting etc.

Additional info: you get to chose 2 "professions", for example archery to improve your ranged units, constructions to improve your buildings (and the ability to summon a fortress).


Spells: you have some spell augments, which are crafted/looted. For example +40% speed on units in an area for a period of time, which can be beneficial when dealing with archers or cavalry.



Edit:

its gonna be free to play. You'll pay to be able to use epic items and some perks. If you're decent at the game you'll manage completely fine without though except vs exceptional players.

gears of war 3, new call of duty, battlefield 3 , so many sleeples nights ....
