I discovered that home cities cannot go over level 9.

When you have enough XP to get level 10 it says things like "-578XP to next level".

I would say that's because this is just the demo.

Anyway, what I still miss is that you 1 unit still consist of 1 man , I know this is AOE , and has always been that way.
But after playing the Total war series , I kind of miss the ''battalion'' style of units / battles.

Well I reckon that AOE should not lose its style.

You can train most units in groups of 5.

It would be good if there was multi-units.

The demo is great, I like those longbowmen. The home city is also a great feature.

yeah I know , it's an ok feature- but I do still prefer the 1 click 10 units option, if someone has played BFME , well that's the kind of style I would like to see in AOE.

And in a trailer ) or something like that ) I saw these really nice formations , were your Musketeers would stand behind your swords/pikes and fire volly's exactly at the same time.
I didn't see an option for units ''merging'' in the demo , is it possible ?
Would like to do some experimenting with those formations.
