Some really interesting bits:
There are four ages, but not all civilizations will advance through all four. It sounds like Mongols are stronger in the beginning (possibly able to build cavalry early?) But can only advance to the third age.
Melee units will switch to torches when they're hitting buildings (so you won't have a knight hitting a building with his sword).
There are special and hero units of some sort. Monols have Khan units for instance, and one of their special abilities is sending an eagle to a scout an area. The developer did not confirm but did suggest that the Mongols move around the map like nomads rather than building permanent settlements
There are four traditional resources, but not all civilizations collect them the same way or use them the same way Height plays a large role , with ranged units having a bonus when firing from walls or high elevation Seems like we will have AoK style campaigns, focused on historical figures, with Joan of Arc as an example.
The interviewer asked if Asia and Africa were included but the developer did not confirm either way.
The card systems of AOE3 and AoEO are not seen to be included in multiplayer.
