• Rally Points Basic
• Rally Points Contextual (Intelligent Villagers)
• Grid default key layout ​
• Select Idle Military
• Select Idle Villagers

We then announced that we will be releasing Definitive Editions of both Age II and Age III, keep an eye out for more details about those!

Those led nicely into our announcement of Age of Empires IV. We are also excited to announce that we are working with the fantastic team from Relic Entertainment to make this the best Age game yet! Stay tuned for more details, we cannot wait to tell you more.
