It could also be terraforming. Raising mountains around your cities, creating bridges over vast seas, etc. You know, stuff that would require lots of memory (i.e. 64-bit) to be feasible in a large map.

Seriously, I think he was just implying that they wanted to implement late-game magic as something so powerful, that you don't so much counter it (fireball? but I am resistant to fire, haha!), but rather things become so massive in scale, that it just becomes a contest of godly carnage.

So while one person may be raining down comets on your lands, you could either counter him with 8.0 magnitude earthquakes, or maybe if you specialized in nature, you would focus on sprouting entire forests in your devastated areas, to boost your economy even as the destruction makes your opponents lands wither.

But yes, I'm sure the idea is things along the lines of BoT, Armageddon, Utterdark, Master Enslave, etc etc.


And I wholeheartedly agree that the release of that trailer can't help but be more detrimental than anything. I felt like I was in some really cool 8th grade English class "so can you use Exterminate in a sentence?" ..... but 8th grade English is anything but cool. I'd have sent them $10 just to have whoever made that trailer, spend the time on the game instead.....
