There's some truth to it and most will just pick whatever makes them money anyway, but personally? Ever since seasonal stuff only lasts for like Lv60, I prefer going to the gravestones near Marie Cave when gear is sufficient enough, hitting that level before graduating. Elvia Orcs is doable in season gear but if you just want to get out of season ASAP, it's whatever. Hammering out Lv62 or higher with a tag is good enough, dunno if Elvia Giants or Hexe are still up there but they're still good EXP if you're also grinding for silver. And if it's Skill EXP you're after, they are probably still fine, it's hardly as big an issue these days anyway.
To be frank the AFK training books are slow and I don't think they really have too much of a place anymore.

A plastic, non-Terminator Praetor that's probably much easier to work with. The dedicated resin models might be a pain in the ass in many ways while not matching the scale of newer models, and the generic plastic Praetor kits are overdone. All IF iconography is easily replaceable, something like the BT Castellan requires you to hack off parts from his built-in pauldron pieces and swap out the backpack anyway.

If it was a named spin-off than a '3' plastered on like Microsoft demanded, it would temper expectations especially. But I wouldn't be so sure if Ensemble going in with a clear 'III' from the start would end up taking elements of AoE I-II into the early modern era after AoM especially.
To be frank though, and while this probably more concerns the AoE IV we got - I am of the opinion that later eras of history would probably make it increasingly challenging to retain the series' identity since it would be harder to give a sense of verisimilitude as things become more contemporary. AoE I-II already have weird anachronisms and choices, if we had a generalist 20th-21st century AoE then it would look even weirder unless the civs were designed around given conflicts. Rivet counters would probably die out globally from the sheer amount of blood vessels popped, meanwhile Red converts an Abrams to Islam.
