A request to the devs: Please switch the Persians to the Central Asian architecture before release of their rework

All good things but the request in this thread is simply changing one architecture set to another existing set. Which unless I’m missing something should be a simple change no new assets needed.

It seems at the moment they only pay attention to issues that concern the PVP/Multiplayer aspect or streamers/youtubers bring up. After all the time theres not been even a ‘No we can’t/won’t do that’

A new game focussed on the Norse/Vikings. Some ideas for the Nordic architecture set which could be added for them.

Why do we always focus so much on how their buikdings looked during the Viking age?

The Vikings are the civilisation in the game…

Yes, but it would be like if we focused on giving the Franks early medieval architecture because they arent called French

The Vikings include all Scandinavians

Huns are fine since they ruled mostly over germanic peoples.

Most people on this forum don’t understand that in-game representations are in mostly for the coolness factor and don’t have to be 100% accurate to their real life counterparts like history autists want it to be.

Perhaps because it looked like you were describing other people, and not yourself?

I was. I was also describing myself by extension. Still don’t know what’s the problem here.

I like how the age moderators are based to categorically flag me but not you for using the same word.

I think the secret is you’re using it in a derogatory manner.

As far as architecture is concerned, I don’t really see this, personally. There are a few decisions that are probably somewhat based on “coolness” (e.g. Mesoamerican and south-east Asian buildings being heavily based on religious buildings), but overall, I don’t think it’s a big factor.

I think it wasn’t at all clear that you were describing yourself. And even so, it sounds like you were saying that @TungstenBoar is autistic because he agrees/disagrees with you (I honestly can’t tell which).

Of course, the forum censor doesn’t care about context anyway.

The Feudal Age buildings are probably reasonable for them, but the Castle and Imperial Age ones look very anachronistic.

Autism isn’t treatable but my therapist already knows of my diagnosis.

You’re just assuming that.

Because them being in AoE2 is anachronistic in and of itself.

One of the traits of autism (not really a formal description, but what’s usually observable as a consequence of common symptoms) is that we are unusually focused on our interests and have low tolerance of things we feel are not “orderly” or “correct”. That’s why ######## is used as a hyperbole for people who are overly preoccupied with how formally correct something is.

I’m only saying what I can see based on the screenshot he posted.

mb, I assumed you were talking to me

I see. By the way, you can say “hyperfixation” instead of autism. That’s usually what people use, instead of the whole condition, for referring to obsessions.
