To OP, they developing AoE4, not 5 :D

Relic posted this job (AoE - FRANCHISE NARRATIVE LEAD) over one year ago:

Does anyone know what Relic exactly does in AoE 4 Development?

Also, the last trailer was already 9 Months ago. The one before that is now 2 (!) years old. What takes them so long? The animations and Graphics look worse than those from Coh1, a game that came out 14(!) years ago.

i dont understand this, not to mention Microsoft may have like 10x the resources THQ and relic had in 2006

Ah yes, the classic bad management thinking.

"If it takes 9 month for 1 woman to deliver a baby, 9 women should be able to deliver a baby in 1 month".

You do realize that model editing and importing was allowed back in 2013/2014, right?

If Relic gave a shit they would have "unlocked" the modding tools a long ass time ago, 5 year plan is way over and this game is basically on life support in terms of new content.

Only CoH and it's mod community are actually doing something to improve the game and franchise.

Wait, you used to be able to import new assets to CoH2, but then they locked it?

Lol (but in a depressed way)

Yes.

Back then, people imported CoH1 models such as puma and wirbelwind.
It didn't end well after that.

It's all about the $$:

The sooner people realize it's not about making a quality art of work like CoH was anymore the better.

When I was younger I remember telling my father about the game one day in the car and I claimed that it was probably the best game and nobody could make anything better.

Well, the modders and fans of the game have proven me very wrong and I'm absolutely sure that if given the opportunity somebody will make something even better, not for the money, but for the fans like many other indie game developers.

If its anything like WC3 Reforged, we might see some official patch notes after CoH3 is announced.

Wasn't it rumoured that they were working on a side project alongside AoE4?
