I played it and I don’t remember the Sicilians, only Maltese (Knights of St. John) and Ottomans…if they appear they were probably the Knights of St. John…in TAD Mobile there are the Japanese and Koreans (but they play like Chinese)…
EvilQuasar05641:
I think if Devs release someday Austria & Prussia , actual ,Germans" should be reworked to ,German States" with many unique things like bew faction leader ( of course this faction will be available for everyone like now ,Germans". Such Dlc will be good also for Devs , if they wonna return to Europe after potential Dlc’s to other continents - without Austria & Prussia they only have Zaporozhian Cossacks & Crimean Khanate as good options for new european factions.
EvilQuasar05641:
Game needs in addition to new factions , also some new units and features to some existing factions to be made then more interesting, as well as completely new campaigns. The old campaigns in AOE 3 were great, but the game needs also new ones: South American, European, African, maybe Napoleonic. Case of Austria , Prussia and German States" will be useful to good presenting and quality of potential European and possibly Napoleonic campaigns.
Yes, I agree… although I see the Zaporozhian Cossacks as a Polish rev… and about campaigns I don’t think so, but a dlc like large VaV-type scenarios I do see as probable…
Moonshadow7475:
And before you invoke the aoe2 precedent, it is significantly easier to make civs in aoe2, since the civs are essentially 90% the same thing, with tech exclusions and one 1 or 2 unique units being the differentiator.
In aoe3, it is much harder to do new civs, even if some of the units already exist, since the civs are essentially fully unique. They need to make enough different cards to warrant a new civ. They need to implement the special individual economic gotcha that makes each civ unique. And it will make balance much harder.
ArrivedLeader22:
The only things Prussian (or not-HRE/Habsburg/Austria) about the current Germans are:
The home city and leader name (can be easily repurposed)
The “Prussian” uhlan (easily renamed)
The “Prussian” needle gunner and its model (needs to be repurposed for a potential Prussian unit, but Austrians have good skirmishers too).
The July revolution and house of Hohenzollern card (both can be easily renamed)
All of these have little to no impact on the gameplay.
Yes, that’s true…let’s see what they do with that…
