A darkened room surrounded by swords and armour, with large cannons guarding the building outside, was an apt location for Ensemble Studios co-founder Bruce Shelley to show off his latest creation.

Friday saw Microsoft demonstrate Age of Empires III at London's Army Museum, giving us a chance to discuss the strategy sequel with Bruce and get our eager hands on the highly-anticipated sequel.

The biggest changes since Age of Empires II are the introduction of the home city and card features, of course there's the beautful new graphics engine too. These and more features of the highly anticipated strategy sequel are discussed in this hands-on feature over at Boomtown (http://pc.boomtown.net/en_uk/articles/art.view.php?id=9116).

God, they added cards. As if things weren't geeky enough.

(note: this is not a complaint)
