What are my (very high) standards?
Idk which standards do you have but I am sure you (edit: dont) have an objective and fair view on what should be added next. And thats fine, we all have biases on some level, but just dont try to convince others to do something you dont

Exactly, “fair” - ie. Equitable.
Anyway it would be nice to have Serbiją and Croatia along with Georgians for Europe. Even a proper Scandinavian faction would be good.
Kanem, Kongo and Kilwa are 3 African civs i would also not mind,
And 3 Indian region i don’t care
North America is just a big fat no. Even worse than South.

That’s why we need some actual empires outside of Europe and not some western duchies.
That being said, the “Dukes” expanson is actually fine.
W8, what about Ghana then?

I agree. But we also don’t need native American tribes.

Why is it unfair to keep including Europeans? In your view.
And yes the new DLC is good but I dislike the stereotypical representations.
Civ number is not unlimited. We can’t have 100 civs lol, so I dont think there is room for even more europeans. Althoug it depends on the MS’ greed, we can eventually have as many as we can pay so who knows, I wont mind some Vlachs as a 50th faction or smth
Ye, Mesoamerica is one of my fav regions historically but we have enough in the context of aoe 2.

Maybe it’s just a shot from one of Jadwiga’s campaign missions?
I associate these three castles around the mines with the Trail of the Eagles’ Nests. Perhaps these mines are a reference to Wieliczka, but it does not have to be the case.
Quite simply, in Małopolska (the voivodeship whose capital is Krakow) there are many different mines - including stone.
You are definitely right here.

Chimus would be ok, the other i don’t know anything about to make judgment
I agree if they would manage to create smth interesting out of them (well, that also goes for the North America and civs like Zapotecs) with all that aoe 2 limitations. If they do I’m completely into Natives for sure.

I have literally no bias about anything outside the Araucans and even those I barely push for them.
Im just all about representing civs based on power, with focusing on unrepresented regions or particularly powerful kingdoms before adding minor kingdoms or civs that are hard to make diferent from the other closely related civs.
Waris were the only other South American empire recognized by scholars (apeared nearby to the Chimus but existed way before them). Had a big territory for more or less 500 years and were rich and populous.
Tbh what you are presenting rn seems fine tho. I would put a bunch of more Asian civs (Khazars, maybe Uyghurs as well, Tibet, Tais and Jurchen) and African civs (theres a lot of kingdoms left to add like Zimbabwe, Somalis, Nubians, Songhay, etc) but seems very reasonable. I dont want another northern European civ because it would get messy (like, whats the limit of the Viking civ?) and Serbia and Croatia are okay civs but really nothing special but yeah overall I like these ideas somewhat

I would think there were minorites in every country…
Just like we had minority witches in Europe, they usually stay hidden from the public
