Ensemble Studios ???
I know microsoft are publishing this game and what seems apparent to me is that it looks like another Ensemble Studios game, the interface looks the same too all the age of empire games and the graphics engine looks the same as Empire Earth and EXACTLY the same to Age of Mythology ?? Is it a MS standard to make all there strategy games look the same and use the same interface its getting kinda boring and basically to simple an interface now, expecially for a game like this im hoping there will be MANY new GUI options.

well MS certainly does like uniformity in their UI.
But I dont think RON is anymore like AOM then any other RTS game. I dont know how many or which screen shots uve seen, but I can say the RON interface has many cool features not in past RTS's. You yourself said it looks like EE as well. I mean so its really a mix. There are just so many ways u can make and RTS interface that makes sense. Besides which whats wrong with it being similar. Those are great games.
