Any hints for "Porto" AOE2 DLC?

You also have to look at the potential boni with regards to Eagle Warriors. Most of them are still not used.

Getting American civs is a sure way to get something else than more cav civs and get to use one of the most underutilised unit lines in the game, just beating Steppe Lancers in terms of usage.

What is this ‘boni’?

If America were to receive 2-3 brand new civs, the number of brand new African civs should be 6-9 civs.

“bonus” is latin so “boni” is the proper plural form (in latin), but “bonuses” ended up being used in english
in german, “boni” is one of the plural forms of “bonus".

Uhh. To me this means they will reveal it today but it isn’t released for some weeks. “UP” could be the name of it.

Interesting… Nice catch, I just saw that it is the first build which includes Porto in it. So it looks we are getting closer to a release

But still nothing teased:(

707

Well whatever this is the patterns are so different any guess is just speculation. The achievements being added way before any announcement happens is very unusual, so I don’t think there is any good guessing pattern.

It’s probably nothing, but the depot names for all DE DLCs start with the letter P (Palermo, Prague, and now Porto).

Yes, the patters are completely different this time. They always announced the DLCs months before adding the achievements on steam and opening depot with files about the new DLC. There must be a good reason for this change.

Do we know what GMT time they usually make the announcements?
