There is a default formation, then it can be set into line, V, or scattered formation, where a unit will remain until you click off that formation, at which point they'll revert to that default bunch. I understand that this must be done to preserve balance, and AoE isn't a game for that kinda bombast, but yeah it'd be nice if they did provide just a small sense of percussion. It's a bit early, but they seem to lack some of the bite of, for example, Total War charges. I dunno about this, so far I'm okay with it as I've said. Then again, I think they'd have to be waaaay long for me to not feel this way. If all the campaigns are only 6 or 8 missions long I might be underwhelmed and pine for additional content. Uneven framerate.As I've said before, I haven't had much real trouble, but I haven't tested it too much. There is some urgency because the attacks ramp up in size, if not frequency, so you need to get ahead of the curve, but it's all good fun.
Yes, I'm glad to note that I can take my sweet time, which I like to do. So far it's been running very smoothly and the laptop I'm using has a 920. I haven't been able to test this, there's a bit of stutter when the camera pans (DF highlighted this) but I've not tried a heavy AI load. This is hard to quantify because I'm not doing anything exhaustive to measure maps, all I know is that the more scripted, linear campaign missions generally seem to involve many encounters rather than the one or two encounters one would get in Age 2. The largest maps the series has yet seen. I'm going to love playing these and I'll feel bummed out when I've completed them. Yep, there are a number, set in various regions. Multiple historic campaigns with voice acted briefings. I've not actually had any problems with pathfinding, other than with a few moments of confusion cenetered around large stone walls that don't break the game. It looks very much like a successor to Age 2 (rather than Age 3) partially because they are set during identical time periods, but also because the technical limitations of Age 3's unit models etc have been resolved enough that 3D models in 2021 look a lot like 2D sprites from 2001. I think these are there, but they've been over stated by the wider audience. I'll edit in a few screenshots etc tomorrow to reduce the wall of text. I'm now a few hours into it - I've not been able to put all my time into it - but i've gotten far enough into the Norman campaign to know some small amount of what can happen in this game, and I've decided I know enough of my first impressions to talk about them here.
