Perhaps the reason why the Turks in ''3'' are so adamant on destroying the Fountain of Youth in America is that they already have their own in Istanbul, and don't want any competition.

The water from the Cistern can heal Byzantine units for inexplicable reason, so perhaps the HistoricalFantasy single-player campaign of ''3'' is canon to ''4'' and the Cistern has magical property.

Having a narrator explain everything changes the tone. For instance, after the second Norman campaign mission, we're told "William's retribution against the North killed 100,000 people." Interesting, and [[AMillionIsAStatistic a lot easier to take]] than "[[ObligatoryWarCrimeScene Congratulations, you just killed 100,000 people]]!"

!Age of Empires will follow in the path of the Call of Duty series
Each game in the AOE series gradually moves forward in time period. The AOE series is usually set in historical periods. Eventually the AOE will have a game set in the modern day and like the Call of Duty series, never return to making games based in its original historical periods. They might even make several games based in the near future.
* Considering the studio that makes the games has shut down, this one is likely jossed...
** [[DoubleSubverted Double]] {{jossed}}. ''VideoGame/AgeOfEmpiresIV'' has been announced and Creator/RelicEntertainment is taking care of it.
* And Call of Duty is returning to World War II.
* Considering the [[http://farm1.static.flickr.com/33/55677518_25f950ab1a.jpg back of the Collector's Edition]] of ''VideoGame/AgeOfEmpiresIII'' predating the announcement of the new game for more than a decade, it's definitively a possibility.
[[WMG: If they ever make ''Age of Empires 4'', the game would be set in the time between the start of the American Civil War and the end of the First World War]]
* Because the American Civil War is where the tech levels of AOE3 end around; the first 2 ages would represent the industrial age, the third age would represent the tech at the beginning of the First World War, and the fourth age would represent tech from near the end.
** Jossed with the announcement video. The [=X019=] teaser has the Mongols laying siege to a medieval European city.
[[WMG:The remaining civilizations for ''Age of Empires IV'' on release]]
So far, they have revealed four civilizations: the Chinese, the English, the Delhi Sultanate and the Mongols, and it is stated that there will be eight empires on release.
* The Abbasid Caliphate: Emphasis on hit and run tactics and piety.
* The Byzantines: THE defensive civilization.
* The Holy Roman Empire: Brute force and piety.
* The Norse: Infantry and raiding, with an additional naval emphasis.
