Well you are right I suggested something really huge for a strat. game ,
but if it would be real it should be really
optional .. this is obvious, becose not every one would like to spent so much time fithing each battle;
But it could be fun to have the chance to
choose to fight at least one great battle when you have many units in a single area or you want to defend your capital city and you don't want to rely only a on a calculation based on difference of number and power of the units!
what you think about this?
AoE : Age of Empires
thanks to everyone!

And why not stick in a FPS shooter for Diplomatic missions like spying - we could mimick the syp entering the palace, "jacking" (term from William Gibson) into their network, and uploading files. Then fighting your way out again.
Hmm, I started out with that as a joke, and the more Ithink about it, the more fun it could be. Hmm...
Anyway, I think we should just let them concentrate on what they do best. This is going to be a huge game, and the more we add to it, the harder it'll be to test, the longer it'll take to develop, yada yada yada.
So, in essence, still the answer is a resounding no.
As a spin-off game, completely separate, maybe yes. But even as an optional component, NO!!!
