11	* HilariousInHindsight: The [[https://farm1.static.flickr.com/33/55677518_25f950ab1a.jpg hardcover artbook]] that comes with the Collector's Edition of ''III'' showed artwork for a ''IV'' and a ''V'', the former depicting a [[UsefulNotes/VietnamWar Vietnam-era]] American soldier, and the latter depicting a SpaceMarine. Ensemble Studios later developed ''VideoGame/HaloWars'', featuring SPARTAN supersoldiers that bear resemblance to the said space marine. After the closure of Ensemble Studios, in 2017 it was announced that [[VideoGame/AgeOfEmpiresIV the real 4th entry]] would be developed by Relic Entertainment, who develop the ''VideoGame/DawnOfWar'' games, which is a license of ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'', one of the most prominent depictions of the space marine genre.

15	** Subverted with the Relic-developed ''IV'', whose main criticism is that ItsTheSameNowItSucks regarding ''II'', however this didn't made a dent in the game's popularity.
16	* SpiritualSuccessor:
17	** ''VideoGame/EmpireEarth'', which was made by the same man who created ''Age of Empires''.
18	** ''VideoGame/EmpiresApart'' is a 2018 game that was designed to faithfully reproduce the spirit of ''1'' and ''2''.

21	* UnconventionalLearningExperience: All of the entries in the series have a lot of information describing the history behind the various facets of the game fairly accurately even while [[GameplayAndStorySegregation the games themselves can't properly portray all of that]]. Probably more than a few historians got interested in the field due to playing the games in their youths.
