Summer is about to get a lot better now that we know of a new mobile game coming to Windows Phone, Android and iOS. Fans of the Age of Empires series will be especially excited to learn of a new game coming. Microsoft and KLab have announced Age of Empires: World Domination for mobile coming this summer.
Age of Empires: World Domination will feature an all new battle system that’s been redesigned for mobile. Look forward to playing as the Celts, Vikings, Franks and Huns in this free-to-play game. Age of Empires is collection of real-time time strategy games published by Microsoft Studios. The first game, Age of Empires, launched in 1997 and was well received by most critics. We can’t wait to get our hands on this. Anyone else looking forward to playing some Age of Empires on their smartphone? Sound off and let us know below.

Age of Empires: World Domination coming to Android this summer
I was a huge fan of this series. I'm sure that there will be IAP's, which will then some people away from playing. Like others have mentioned I'd rather pay a premium to avoid ads and IAP's. The game looks a little too cartoonish also, but as long as the game play is good I'll be able to overlook it.
"How'd you get the beans above the frank?"
I grew up on the first one, and still play it to this day. But as others have said, I feel like this will be a micro-transaction hell. If there's even a single one, I won't be downloading it. I can't stand micro-transactions and I seriously hope they die soon...
I CAN'T WAIT for "Free to Pay" apps to die a horrible death! Why can't we just get a good game and pay $15-$20? No, they have to bleed us in perpetuity for the dubious "privilege" of playing their shitty game!
This is terrible news. I love AoE, but hate IAPs.
Wow! Tak sabar nk try cuba test!

LOVE AoE. Still play Age of Kings and Age of Mythology, years and years after release. Best gaming times was when I founded and ran an AoE scenario design team. Looking forward to this!
Hope they won't make it too different, like what happened to "Dungeon Kepper" .
Fuck yeaaahhhh
Finalyyy yess
Fuck all android games
Except this game
My battery will die at summer;-)

Is Age of Empires like the old school Warcraft 1-3? I have been looking for a game like that. I wish Blizzard would turn those into mobile games. I tried to put my Warcraft 2 disk in but apparently Windows 7 didn't like the Windows 95 disc and it wouldn't read it.
I agree, loved the PC games, these graphics actually look worse than the PC games in the 90s, but hopefully they are just early alpha renders. Also, in app purchase is a bad move here. I would have paid a few bucks like others have said.

WIll it be pvp? I doubt it, but that's the only way I play it.
Wow this is great!

Please no in app purchases, please no in app purchases, please no in app purchases. I'd rather pay $5 or $10 for the game and have it be the FULL game than have it be ruined by stupid pay-for-energy crap.

The game looks decent; nothing too amazing. I've always been a fan of Age of Empires since the beginning. These graphics and animations don't seem similar to the previous games which really turns me off. IMO they should have considered pricing the game at around $2.99 and if sales weren't satisfying they could take the IAP approach.

AOE2 is one of my all-time favorite games. I hope this version is more like 2 than 3.

IAP ruins everything xD. It's Ruined. What they will do is slow down the pace of the game by like 30 and then charge you to get more people and to speed up the game.

If its turn based I will rage

I still play AOE2 on the PC. You betcha I can't wait

I still play AOE2 and Empire Earth

Same here, I´d rather pay for a full app than in app purchase games
Awesome! So excited for this!
Oh wow, I grew up on the original game. One of my all time favorites. The Free to Play designation worries me, though. I'd rather just pay like $5 for a quality, full product.

God me too =( don't let Age of Empires be ruined by microtransactions... Or pay for extra turns daily or some crap. I feel a massive flop incomming =(

Same here. This will ruin the whole game for me if that is implemented.
Same here played AOE from 8th to College online MSN.zone.com
Free to play?? Gawd dammit, Microsoft. I love the AoE series, but may very well not even install this if the IAPs are insane like most other F2P games. That's why Age of Empires Online sucked and failed.
Just let me pay a fair price for the damn game and be done with it!
LOL! You'll be able to buy it outright on WP8. On Android it will be free with IAP, just to piss off Android users.
Looking forward to this!
