Any hints for "Porto" AOE2 DLC?

They disbanded after Warchiefs. Asian Dynasties was made from Big Huge Games (the one who did Rise of Nations)

@cly0806 Can you answer this question, please?

Where is your source for 3 campaigns with 5 scenarios each? Can you post the link?

Do we have any news about it? I saw that a new Pup is up for the game. Did anyone saw if it includes any balance changes?

Not yet. What do i look for?

Venetian Masquerade events

Mostly if there are any changes in existing civ bonuses or changes in units stats.

That seems hard to check. Are there game file paths?

Yes it needs some work indeed. I haven’t used any pup yet myself to answer if there are game file paths so, I think some more experienced users in this might help.

Steam-AOE 2 DE-Properties-betas-PuP-then it downloads the build.
For balance changes you will need to check manually tech trees, units and technologies
though the Build stated there aren’t more changes, only bug fixes.

zimbabueans are Shona, i forgot about Songhai and Soniké

I think someone should have an app to compare the difference between PUP string and normal games strings file.

When I first heard about this speculation I though this is absolutely non sense and insane. But I keep thinking all the information and possible hints we have.

-A user on reddit mentioned as a hint a series of italian words appeared in an official aoe blog (i don’t know what he means exactly).

  • Porto as a codename, which could also mean “port”
  • Now the Venetian carnival event.

I think Venetians as an addition would not be as unlikely as it looks, especially as a part of “sea civiliziations” themed DLC…

Personally I will be definately disappointed if we see another italian sub-faction or other european faction. We already have too many

I highly doubt there be venetian civ… If we are talking about hints then there are many for indian civs… like -

  • In a previous patch hindi text was fixed

  • There is a new south asian based tournament

  • Porto can mean " Porto Grande de Bengala" which was another name of chittagong in bengal.

T-West posted a video yesterday - “Ram vs Bengal”

I commented “Bengal new civ confirmed” and he gave the comment a heart.
He gives heart to almost every comment. So I don’t think this is a hint.

I’d definitely be disappointed if it were the Venetians, but I won’t if it is a European faction like the Wallachians or Serbo-croats. I mean the first one has a campaign already. They just need to add the civ!

But I do not think the new DLC will have European or Caucasus civs.

The only relevant european power during that time which is currently missing is Venice. I don’t think it would be such a bad addition to the game

They are literally called Italians.
