Hmm... an announcement planned for the Christmas season? A new product?

Jetkill> No, most people are on salary, which is adjusted once a year along with employee reviews. Hours worked are not as strongly correlated compared to some other companies. The important thing is the value you add to the company.

Cool find. Every time I see one of those old shots I feel I can really see why they changed up the terrain art - it looks so dreary! The water too. Quite a surprise to see reflections, wouldn't even have noticed it had it not been pointed out!

Wonder when British became Britons and Middle Age presumably became Castle...

No. There's are "Xbox for Windows" games now. A bit weird, but yeah. I don't see any needed console specifications either. It definitely says Windows gaming in the job description.

It was used in The Settlers 7 as well. It seems to be working fine for RTS games. And given that it's possibly worked on inhouse, a licenced engine is more likely than working with the AoE3/AoEO engine. I doubt anyone will want to work with it. Only Robot sort of knows it, and GPG doesn't like the engine for it's highly outdated.

I know nothing about that job posting. If I had to speculate, I would guess they are continuing with AoEO.
local boi> I think what you are noticing is the "iOS effect" - where all the games in the mobile/iOS space and facebook games have adopted a very smooth colorful cartoon style in part for reasons of cost and efficency.
