Because no one cares for them anymore. The last few of them were huge flops.

Maybe when a new one is made and makes a bunch of money, it will be the new trend and you'll see more of them soon.

not enough diversity in civilized history

that is unless we create diversity in history

fuck off that's like not knowing counter strike

>>70146910
What the fuck is this? Some kind of aoe2 remake?
>>
>>70147134

He's right, you're obviously young to not know where that's from considering how popular it was on PC

My first thought was age of empires but I don't remember the physics being that good on the castles.
>>
>>70147304
some 3d render made by a guy
>>
>>70147333
Memes are not a valid answer.
>>
>>70147372

The physics were changed but that is the same assets.
>>
being mad as fuck that everyone didn't play age of empires or whatever

get within arm's reach of a vagina
>>
>>70147403
Nigger considering Aoe2 units were sprites and not 3d, they are not the same assets.
>>
>>70147491
Kill yourself, you normie fuck.
>>
>>70146910
Because all the famous historical epics of old usually called upon thousands and thousands of extras all dressed in authentic attire and that shits expensive

Because they're better as miniseries or as television shows? I know Denmark recently released one such show called 1864 on the topic of the Second Schleswig War.

>>70147390
source?

Because all the manchildren these days have been trained to only accept capeshit duh-goy!
>>
>>70146910
Because for some reason Ridley Scott decided to be the only one to keep doing them, and he got progressively worse at doing so. Ironic considering either he or Mel Gibson were responsible for bringing it back with Gladiator and Braveheart.

I want a Master and Commander sequel so bad.
>>
>>70147029
Yeah probably could be solved by making the projectiles not perfect spheres
>>
>>70147600
Not really. What if you're born through a c-section?

Only answers that matter so far:

Historical epics aren't focus-tested to be safe bets for profits like capeshit, remakes, and sequels. This is the fucking dark age of filmmaking.

exodus wasn't all that bad, it just got bogged down with dumb controversies and the subject matter wasn't appealing to a wider audience

>>70147785
sure but you don't have to go that far, they just don't need to behave like they're moving in a vacuum
