However, doing that might be a little difficult to achieve since the map perspective offers more of a 3rd person omniscient rather than a 1st person game, which makes the AoE Series unique from other games being an RTS game like Starcraft which also has this omniscient world view by default due to the map feature.
Since AoE3 has access to the Trigger feature like its predecessor, it is certainly possible. I know that it's possible to make an FPS-type thing with the AOM Scenario Editor, but is it possible to do this with AOE3? Forums: Index > Help desk > Scenario Editor
