I wish they would correct the Lakotas and Haudenosaunee, so many in their mechanics and voices that sound so unprofessional and without character (even boring), I understand that they want to show something more historically accurate but it would be nice to have the old Iroquois and Sioux as such, perhaps with small and more creative corrections without going to absurd extremes like removing the mine collection or the fire pit.
I really trust the developers and hope they can do their best for both civilizations.

TBH, Iâve always thought the Napoleonic Era is a great mod that can be directly ported into DE (as how Forgotten Empires is done for AOE2). Cheers to @tilanus .
- It does not require a lot of additional work.
- Many of the designs are already well-established and also unique enough.
- It adds some additional techs and options that make old civs more interesting especially in the late game.
- Some contents have been requested by many for quite a long time.
If there is a mod that is going to become official Iâd propose this. This is basically the FE of AOE3.
Maybe a little tweaking are required like mitigating the problem of Germans/Austrians/Prussians appearing at the same time, Germans & French being changed a little too drastically, and units like the hand cannoneer with unclear roles. But all the rest make a great DLC.
I hope this is on the list for the next year. As supportive of US/Mexico as I am, Iâd be really bored if we got yet another overly-stuffed north American civ.

For me it would be awesome if they would correct some errors of Portugal. Of course the other old civs too.
By the way Spanish homecity and Portuguese homecity have the same Cathedral. Dont know how I could mark my other posts on other topics here.
To be honest I dont think Portugal gets some changes like , organ gun out( make it to a merc) unique ship, or atleast buff for ships, Portuguese special tech that is spanish( Encomienda Manor) and take the Cartaz system that fits the era of the game, give the old tech to the spanish. Few grammar fix like Jinete ( Dragão) Caçador.
Turn the civ bonus with the free towncenter into a feitoria (maybe like a Towncenter that has a bit more HP a little stronger attack like 5% and with the functions of a market) just a Idea sorry.
I still have hope :).

Of the whole series, this is the game with less campaigns (by now itâs IV, but Iâd exclude it, because we still donât know how many other ones are ready to be released).
Saying âThe original campaign tells about the fight between the Black family and the Circle of Ossusâ is not true because the Warchiefs campaign does not mention it.
Saying âThe original and The Warchiefs campaign tells about Black familyâ is not true because The Asian Dynasties does not mention it.
Saying âBut there are the Historical Battlesâ is partially true, but there are much more in II⊠it outnumbers the ones in III.
So: Add. More. Campaigns.

I share my plenty of ideas about the European and American native civs.
New things, new changes, new cards.
I wanna do more specific adjust to the Portuguese for more accuracy but I donât know too much about their good sources.
I have also redesigned and researched Asian civs in order to improve their political and cultural inaccuracy, while at the same time minimizing interference with existing mechanics and playing strategies. Expected to be shared in this forum in a few days.

Medicine Men and Women werenât always healers, so the name that way isnât really the best option. Bands had their set Medicine Man or Woman and their set Healers, and the two didnât always overlap. Or much at all, honestly.
The names were changed to be more accurate. The new voice lines are the actual languages of the two groups. The old voice lines were inaccurate to a large or massive degree. Mining wasnât done by either, it should have been that way from the start for the same reason India canât slaughter livestock or Japan canât hunt. Firepits were stupid stereotypes.
Personally, I want to see a full rehaul of the original Warchief civs - All three are terribly done and need much more than minor tweaking to be updated. They need to be remade and rebalanced without the Community Plaza and give a new baseline that doesnât depict them as magical elves.

So just like priests versus surgeons? The actual duties of Priests and Imams are also religious and community oriented yet they donât get a stupid âhealerâ label.

To be honest, he minor tweaking is reasonable.
Even I redesign the aging mechanic, monastery and explorer of the Asian civs for more accuracy, I still have to make the substitutes have the similar abilities or able to be used in the relevant strategy.
If they completely change the basic game mechanics and the expected positions of civs, that will be a huge job, costing a lots and the community may not accept the result since people like to play them due to their mechanics rather than the cultural accuracy.
I think the Warchief civs were done relatively well compared to the asian civs. In fact Iâd say that asian civs are more like the magical faires with the wonders, and with their gaps in their unit lineups that consulate units are supposed to fill in for but since the export system sucks they are overcompensating on OP units and mechanics like super musketeers and age 1/2 factories.

The Natives are created with almost no historical basis for anything they have. At least the Asian civs were based on something related to the nationâs history - Sepoys were a thing, Ashigaru were a thing, Samurai were a thingâŠ
But what do the Lakota and Hauds get? Magical ceremonies that somehow make them do more damage and generic-â â â names like âClub Warriorâ that are completely unrelated to the history of the people.

Yeah I think the problem with the Asian civs is that they are based on some stereotypical view of these nations. Much like how you say they made the native civs around some notion of mystical dancing mechanic. I agree that some of the things are alright.
I am Indian, and in my part of India, we eat all livestock. Monks are not trained in fighting, they are mostly teachers and take care of religious matters. And sepoys were a soldier under the East India Company which is technically not an Indian unit but merely an Indian man employed by a British trade company. Gurkha and Rajput are names of communities, not soldiers. Akbar, the AI personality of India, was Muslim and yet he keeps talking about Gods (with a plural), as if heâs Hindu.
Most of these Indian inaccuracies can be removed just by a simple renaming or a reskin. They can, for instance, just have two elephant mounted Indian explorers who arenât religious figures. They can just rename the Gurkha a âGurkha riflemanâ, and the Rajput a âRajput Pata warriorâ etc.
If Iâm not mistaken the Chinese combat monk is an equally hilarious stereotype. But Iâm not an expert on that. As for the Japanese, Samurai I think is a very broad term for a lot of things. Even the Naginata rider and Yumi archer are technically samurai, no?

while i agree with pretty much everything else youâve said, I mean this really is true of every civ. pretty much every unit is just named after its weapon with the exception of a few specific unique units. Chu ko nu (weapon), Musketeer, pikeman, Chakram, iron flail. Sometimes its âweapon - verbâ usually like âNaginata Riderâ or âplace - weaponâ like qiang pikeman and pretty much every dlc unit.
The specific names are actually quite few, and mostly for European units simply because, well, they have english or transliterated words to describe them specifically and really detailed records of their use on the battlefield. Things like Fussiliers, Redcoats, Janissaries. Iâm not sure if thereâs equivalent names for the native civs so much. Iâd love to be corrected on that, but i feel like naming the unit after the weapon is just how nearly every unit is.

I am redesigning the three Asian civs for removing the stereotypical view like the monk explorers, the wonders build at the new world and other unreasonable settings.
May the Zamindar suitable to be as the Indian explorer? Mounting an elephant, using a rifle, a bit stronger than other explorers but moving slower. Starting the game with 1 Zamindar.
As long as setting the feudal lord as the hero, It will make sense to build TCs and gain some special abilities like Sharpshooter Attack or Imperial Service.
As far as I study, the terms âShamsherbazâ and âBanduqchisâ are good to be the names of the soldiers.
.
May I consult with you that if there is an equivalent building to the capitol for every civ, what name is suitable to be the Indian one? I hope the Asian civsâ equivalent could be something like a local government office or a feudal lord palace. For example, the Japanese one may be named âBugyĆ Office (ć„èĄæ)â, and the Chinese one may be named " Yamen (èĄé)".
A capitol type building could be the Imperial Court or the âDiwan-e-aamâ, as it was during Mughal times. This was where the people would meet with the emperor and he looked at matters of the empire. The âDiwan-e-khaasâ was for meetings with the emperors ministers and the public wasnât allowed here.
Banduqchi literally means rifleman. I donât know if itâs necessary to have an Urdu word in there. It might make things complicated. Gurkha rifleman works well in my opinion, as opposed to Gurkha banduqchi.
âZamindarâ literally means Land owner. Zamindar is another named for landlord. I donât think it works well for a scout unit. Coincidentally, the word âSowarâ means rider (also âhe who travelsâ) and will work well for a scout unit, such as an explorer.
I strongly feel that India should have a horse unit since the Mughal army used a lot of horses. A horse unit to replace the sowar in the stable would be nice.
