Bit too much for that one I would say, but I definetly won’t buy victors and vanquished.

Unfortunately, it’s probably not. It didn’t take a lot of resources to make it, given that it’s mostly workshop mods converted. And for 13$ even if 30$ of the usual AoE2 buyers buy it, it’s a net profit.
I agree. Having a “theme” DLC limits your creativity. And given that each particular player has different interests, also limits your buying base.
I think Conquerors & Forgotten Empires are the most received AoE2 expansions. And they are all over the place. They are so essential that they could be considered “core”.
I think the devs could a DLC with an Asiatic, European, and American civ all packed together at this point. The question is, will they? You can’t really force them to do anything.

That’s an excuse I believe, they just need to change Chinese to Han, like they changed Indians to Hindustan.

You misunderstood. This expac is easy cheap shovelwear but a world expanding Conqs style world tour civ addition pack wouldn’t require new units beyond UU and some 1 or 2 new buidlingand some soundsets

Change Slavs to Rus or Ruthenian (I don’t care but Slav is annoying right now considering the other Slavic).

Not sure I get what you’re trying to say. Are you saying that is this expansion was harder to make than some Conqs style expansion? is that a correct representation of what you said?
This expansion was dirt cheap, becasue 90% of the work was already done by modders. Even it if costed 5$ it would still be a net profit for Microsoft.
While a Conq style expansion. Say 3 the civs + rework like in OP: Zapotecs, Romanians, Nubians, Slavs rework. Would require: new units for castle, 1 or 2 new buildings, soundsets. And: new bonuses, balancing the new bonuses with the rest of the roaster (testing them a lot), 3 new campaigns (2 for the new civs, 1 for an already existing in game civ - hopefully slavs/ruthenians). Not to mention the historical doccumentation required to make those campaigns historical.

@Player870583437, Thank you very much for these civ graphic at the beginning of this topic, although the Central asia area could still be expanded by 1 or 2 civs more. You are bringing one of the best summarized civ suggestions into the forum, but unfortunately the developers are ignoring almost most of it so far, which is just sad. Maybe the Armenians and Georgians are prototypes of these graphic, we can only hope so…
I do not know, what other DLCs and Updates will be released this year, but it would really be desirable, if the developers continued the “old line” with new civs and campaign DLCs. I think to this, it would be a good solution for a new future way, to bring multiregional DLCs into the game, what contains civs from different world areas, to satisfy many players at the same time.
The “new line” with singleplayer missions as new DLC content is not particularly well received here in the forum. The main issue is, that the developers put a lot of recycled missions into the game, instead of creating much new ones and they sell these clones much too expensive. The playerbase accept certainly new singleplayer missions, but only then, if they are honestly announced, new created and are not clones.
I found the same graphic on “Reddit” in a better resolution and am posting it again, so that everyone can clearly see the mentioned civs.

This is so true. Also fyi, over decades the Chinese authorities have been cooking up their history on how their influence on surrounding area or countries, countless of their tv series about middle ages only focus on good looking boys and girls, history be damned. So I personally don’t hope for a DLC that based on a country where its history isn’t respected and preversed by its own people.

I’ll take a Purepechan, Songhay, Nubian with a side of Tai and Tibetan.

I would like Zapotecs and Nubians, but also Central Asian civs which are not mentioned on the map, such as Pechenegs and Sogdians.

I think you should give up asking for something, gentlemen.
Didn’t you know the devs actually know what we want?
They just ignored us, good players in their eyes are ones who will buy scenarios for 10+ dollars, not us.
I was keeping ask for something like former expansions since the release of RoR, but I could even not see one of them reply to me.

I don’t know, it seems very simple to me.
I have a hard time thinking the devs actually know what we want they just don’t do it.
Maybe they’re so disconnected they think they know best or something like this.
I don’t know if this place has a community manager or someone who presents these ideas once in a while but I hope someone addresses this situation.

I suggest the Purepacha instead of Zapotecs. They defeated the Aztecs many times.
I like that devs experiment, so far has been great overall.
Just saying.
Otherwise will be playing voobly with the Conquerors content.

I’d love if there was a version of the game that’s:
just conquerors civs (maybe up to DE, but not sure). None of these janky new civs
functional pathing and stability
server based matchmaking
modern graphcis

I’m sure they know what the heck is going on, even know what we are discussing here. However, just like any other games, the people who value quantity over quality are just too many.
But of course, I aprreciate anybody bring this up often, better than to keep silent. Best thing will happen to us is that if the demands from quantity group match with your points, then maybe… 
I have three questions:
- Which kind of players are in quantity group?
- There are so many players here, why none of us belong to the quantity group?
- Is there any group that want a dlc with only remastered scenarios from workshop?
I personally think you are cheating yourself, imagining the devs are still doing their works based on the demanding of players.
What I was saying is those who are willing to buy anything. You not finding them here doesn’t mean they don’t exist, they do and in very high numbers. Because if they don’t we’re not here typing this. Your 3 questions seems like 1 to me.
