Support needed : Game performance
Not needed: New events, new civs, new superficial stuff that make people play the game once a month despite ■■■ performance to keep the xbow live subscription rolling. But if the core of the game is rotten, even those things cant pretend that there is a living game there and the support is more than just selling the last remains of the corpse.
Sundjata founded the Mali Empire, and the Huns, which I reiterate is a bad reference, have historical records from the hand of European civilizations such as the Roman.
Koreans, Burmese, Aztecs and Spanish have their campaigns in the 16th century. Burmese and Aztecs reached their zenith in the 16th century. Noryang Battle was in 1598 so it makes sense to add Mapuche. Araucans had horses in 1553 and learnt battle formations unlike other natives.
So the 5 nomadic civs, Bulgarians and Magyars partly
Mapuche(and Muisca) have the most history recorded of any Native Civs that aren’t in the game.
Koreans, Burmese, Aztecs and Spanish have centuries of recorded history before those campaigns, they were regional powers and also the Spanish have the Cid campaign. (And they were also empires or kingdoms with governmental organization)
It is a lie that the Mapuches had cavalry battle formations, especially in the 16th century. Mapuche tactics were mainly guerrilla and hiding in the woods, they only attacked when the numbers were very in their favor. The only battle in which there is a record of using large-scale cavalry was at the Battle of La Albarrada (and one of the few Mapuche pitched battles) and the result was disastrous.
which?
Error, there is much more information recorded from other American civilizations (various kingdoms and empires included). The Mapuches have been the ones who have had the most publicity around here, I suppose it is by users who belong to the country where the Mapuches live.
" By 1570 they had learned the use of infantry formations, similar to the Spanish Tercio, that allowed them to defeat Spanish cavalry in the open field."
Ehm … I really want to tell you a lot of things, but preferably I’ll just ask you one question:
What do you think these civilizations looted when they razed cities?
The Battle of Purén, where 100 or 200 Spaniards went to attack 1500 Mapuches.
So, is this proof that the Mapuches learned to carry out military infantry formations in 1570?
Do you know the destruction of the 6 cities by the Shuar, the Chichimeca 300-year war, the Yaqui who stopped the Spanish army of Hernán Cortés and who also fought against the Mexicans and the USA? To the Charrúa who were in contact with both the Portuguese and Spanish Empires, the Guaraní Jesuit army or the Tupí?
With all due respect, you must open your borders. Do not lock yourself in nationalistic passions. Regards.
