The developers emphasized the fact that they worked with historians in order to bring franchise fans an educational experience, as well as an entertaining one. Additionally, the music will also be period-accurate and evolve as players advance through the ages. For example, it was revealed that languages will shift as players progress throughout the ages, meaning those playing the English will hear Old English from units at the beginning, then Middle and Modern English as they progress. Developers acknowledged the smaller scale of the video game, but revealed that this allowed them to focus on presenting each civilization in greater detail. The fan event also revealed one of the four historical campaigns in the upcoming game, involving William the Conqueror and the Norman conquest.
