It doesn't cheat anymore.""If you put one AI, non-cheating, of the Definitive Edition version against seven of the original that do cheat, it just wipes the floor with them. That chat was actually after Isgreen and Beeckman had taken me through a closer look at those features in the game, via a peek at the new Tamerlane campaign, the most striking of them being that new AI."If you look at the old AI, it cheated" Beeckman chuckled. You get all the new social features, you get everything like the unified community, there's just a lot of things - for any kind of player you are - to take advantage of."Fair enough.

Hope you were sitting down for that bombshell! (Although it is, actually, weirdly neat to see, especially if you've the dosh to witness it all in snazzy 4K).There's now a global queue for what you're building. Isgreen and Beeckman told me that the feedback they had was always a request not to touch the gameplay, and so their focus was on how they could help that "stand out more" and deciding on looking mostly at how it's controlled, which first of all meant the ability to zoom in and out. I might not ever see much benefit from it, mind - I'm one of those strategy players who hits a skill cap somewhere in the no-man's-land between teching-for-fun on Medium and struggling with a rush on Hard - but even the fact that the AI always sticks to the rules is promising enough for those like me who can now actually watch what they're doing and mimic it.The rest of the improvements in the Definitive Edition fall comfortably into the category of neat stuff for nerds - which I really should stress I count myself as, too! - rather than big headline revolutions. I didn't see this in action but the example I was given was how, in the past, interactions were limited to things like "do you have any spare Gold you could give me?" whereas now you could ask an AI ally "hey, can you attack, with Knights, that specific player at that time", and they'll go ahead and do it.Again, it's hard to really evaluate those sorts of claims without having a proper, lengthy hands-on, but to me the talk about an AI trained on competitive strategies is genuinely exciting. It tries to follow the competitive meta - on the highest level - because we have 20 years of pro players doing tournaments and we tried to get that in the AI as well."You can also talk to the new AI in a more sophisticated way. The new AI is so good that you can watch replays of it to actually learn how to play the game, because it plays the game correctly now.
It's cross-play between stores (Steam or Microsoft Live), "basically it's like a mini version of Battle.net," as Isgreen told me, so "you have all the AoE games, all of your friends from both Steam and from Live chat, everything across games all in one place, so we're kind of bringing the whole community together with Age" - hence the "unified community" comment when I asked. That's how much there is, just in the campaigns, for 20 bucks." Again, fair enough. I'm really not one for equating time spent in a game to value-for-money but, if that's your bag, Beeckman claimed that "if you play through all the campaigns and win them all in one go, you have 200 hours of gameplay. There were 13 civilisations in the original and 35 now. The Definitive Edition will have 27 campaigns in it the original had five.
