** ''Age Of Mythology: The Titans'' - 2003
Line 22 ⟶ 27:
** ''Age of Empires: Mythologies'' - 2008 - See above.
* ''Age of Empires Online'' - 2011 - A free-to-play free-roaming RPG.
* ''Age of Empires IV'' - TBA
In addition, the ''[[Star Wars]]'' RTS ''Galactic Battlegrounds'' is ''Age of Empires'' [[Recycled in Space|IN SPACE]] (LucasArts used the AOE II engine) and Ensemble developed an RTS based on the ''[[Halo]]'' series, ''Halo Wars'', which was Ensemble Studios' swan song, as [[Big No|Microsoft closed them down on 1/29/09]], making ''Age of Empires 4'' or ''5'' unlikely.
'''Age of Empires Online''', however, turned out to be very much in production. The announcement [[Broken Base|broke the base]] almost immediately, though its free-to-play status [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|may heal wounds]]. The game, made by Gas Powered Games, is intended to enable players "to create a living, growing online world, shared with friends and friendly rivals around the globe, [while] players can develop their own persistent online civilization, which grows even when the player is offline and watch as it progresses from a village to an empire. They can embark on quests along the way, alone or with friends, and to "immerse themselves in epic tales, quirky characters, adventure, history and strategy." The game also includes Live Achievements. Initially released with the Greek civilization, Egypt, Persia and the Celts have since been added. A revamp of the free to play model has been announced recently, which promises to allow players to unlock any feature without paying a dime, provided they are willing to invest enough time.
In 2017, Microsoft not only revealed ''Age of Empires: Definitive Edition'' (an [[Updated Rerelease]] of the original), but also ''Age of Empires IV'', the latter being developed by Relic Entertainment. Sufficed to say, the franchise isn't over yet.

* [[Arbitrary Headcount Limit]]: There's a [[Cap|Population Limit]].
* [[Boring but Practical]]: Sometimes the basic units are the best.
* [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]]: Optional; if you want, you can configure the game as to have your enemies being red, your allies yellow and yourself blue.
* [[The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard]]: Masterfully averted by the second game, where the AI is not reliant on any perks the players don't have unless you play on the highest difficulty.
* [[Construct Additional Pylons]]:
