Hello,

I'd like to answer the question. Age of Empires' original working title was "Dawn of Man".

I hope I win the raffle. :D

Good luck to everyone. :D

I think Dawn of Man would be very woman-hating ;) So thumbs up for AoE ^^

Although I did search for the correct answer, I mean, you do actually have it right there, already answered.. Indeed some new user can hop in and copy paste it and get himself in on the competition.. which is a bit unrighteous to the first replier. :S (Just read posts 4-5 to see what i mean ahaha)

Anyway, the answer to that is indeed "Dawn of Man"!
The working title name of Age of Empires while it was being produced back in 96, but upon release, Age of Empires ensued.
So that's it, good luck to everyone :D

It's amazing how quickly these competitions attract new members. I just hope many of them remain active after the competition.

Although the answer was already supplied in the posts before, I had to be sure. So I googled and...

My answer is: "Dawn of Man". :)

No, the working title actually was "Tribes"!
AoE2 was internally named "Tribes 2" ;)

@Woxge
Is that your final answer? :D

Working title was "Dawn of Man"

Seriously, make it a PM to a staff member or something, this is a bit ridiculous TBH.
By djole381 (SI Elite) on Feb 03, 2011

@SirRoderick
I totally agree. This way anyone can see the answer instead of making the effort of trying to find the answer by themselves.
By fltatk (SI Veteran Member) on Feb 04, 2011

OR Staffmembers could delete correct answers and write down the members who got it right...
By SirRoderick (SI Elite) on Feb 04, 2011
SirRoderick
Yes, let's use a needlessly inefficient and fiddly system that requires 24/7 surveilance of the thread...

Sorry, but that one better be a joke. :)

Hey guys,

You know, I make this mistake every time. I use an Q&A system, and then forget that as soon as people post down answers, everyone else gets to see them. Whooops!

Now that there is apparently two possible answers though, this just got more interesting :D

I'm not going to tell you which answer is correct. You're just going to have to take a guess and hope for the best :P No changing answers either.

Have fun!

I'm not exactly worried I have it wrong.....

What we ARE worried about is a flood of one-timers :)

Here is the answer:
EARLY working title was: "Dawn of Man"
BUT the working title was: "Tribes"
By JustCommunication (SI Core) on Feb 04, 2011

If you say so :P

The first working title was Dawn of Man

Good luck to all!
By Gyorn (SI Core) on Feb 05, 2011

Its "Dawn of Man". However during coding sessions it was often refered to as "***** ******** *** **** ****!" ;)

@JustCommunication: Is it too late to change the question? Cause giving a new one and using Email to answer would solve this...problem.

Good luck everyone! :)
By VHugoSama (SI Core) on Feb 05, 2011

LOL. It seems that the answer is "Dawn of Man".
By Nicolas19 (SI Core Veteran) on Feb 05, 2011

It was Dawn of Man.
I had to surf a bit to find it out and really got me filled with nostalgia. Too bad I've given my original AOE CD to my cousin, guess its time to get it back:)
By ageofgert (I just got here) on Feb 05, 2011

The working title was "Dawn of Man"
Like Nicolas i took the pain of looking up myself (or actually Google did the Job).I found it! Of all games i ever played, AoE was the game i spent most hours with. For some reasons, however, i never got beyond Age of Kings (had other things on my mind i suppose), and i'd love to explore Mythology, Asians and Titans.
I wish me good luck !
By RaviL (SI Core Member) on Feb 05, 2011

I google the net but didn't find any reference to AoE that i was named "Tribes".
By SirRoderick (SI Elite) on Feb 05, 2011

That's because it wasn't I believe. :)

This is a tough one :).
Well i'm not entering cause i'm not interested enough in the game, but if i were interested the competitions format would make it waaaaay to easy.

Give me the new Shogun or Deus Ex and then I'll bite real hard :).

I'm surprised that no one here has got it completely right yet. The development title in 1995 when the game started development was "Dawn of Man", but the development title the game used in 1996 was "Tribe" not "Tribes".
By bollo (SI Newbie) on Feb 12, 2011
bollo
The working title was "Tribe", without quotes.

At last, quite a good question for AoE players....had to seek in my memory and some stuff I had. :)

The working title was Dawn of Man, mmmmkay?
By lone_wanderer (I just got here) on Feb 13, 2011

They used the title "Tribes" at a more advanced stage of development, though the initial title was "Dawn of Man" indeed.

Good luck with the raffle :)

I'm sure they will, I was just making sure they didn't forget about me :P
By fltatk (SI Veteran Member) on Feb 23, 2011

Well, that would be weird if they send out 9 games and forget 1 on the table :D
Actually i know what you mean, i was worried at first aswell :D
By JustCommunication (SI Core) on Feb 23, 2011

Woops. Would help if I send off the PMs BEFORE going on holiday next time :p

Never fear guys, I'll be sorting all this out in the next couple of days.

Mine just got here.
Now I know why the box looked so big, just noticed that its on CD, LOL, 5 CDs.
Last time I saw so many CDs for a game was the CD version of Unreal Tornament 2003, 6 CDs I think.

Mine also came this morning but not so safe and sound. Someone or something hit it (hole in the package) and the box is broken from the inside quite badly. Luckily the discs are safe and it's almost invisible from the outside which is weird :P

Thanks again SI !!! :)
