They look amazing! Please add Ashanti, Morocco, Zulus, Yoruba, Kongolese and Sudanese from Africa in the near future, if you donât include any of them in this DLC.
EDIT: This architecture would be pretty nice for Ethiopians in Age of Empires 2.

Easy with the requests guys XD. A civ for AOE3 takes a LOT of work(They all have to be quite unique).
I will be okay with just 2, everything above that will be a very big extra.

Ok dev, thank you for caring for us. I know it must be really hard to not spoil anything on the creation process (because itâs not allowed) but I understand. At least some puzzles do the job to know what to expect from the dlc.
Please, do whatever is possible to create a memorable campaign, the game need this.

There is not a PUP available right now tho
Africa has the second largest indian population in the world,
When Africa was being colonized by the various european countries, Indianâs were the prime import,
There is no Africa - without an incredibly strong Indian influence
So Africa wonât have African Villagers in its homecity? I see none in the screenshot. No African Homecity Units (i.e. performer, vendor, thug, fisher, entertainer, painter, policeman etc)
BTW going by your logic why there are no European Villagers roaming around in the similar fashion? Africa also had the second largest European population in the world during the same period.

Iâm in Africa - I am an African
No we donât have the second largest European force, you took us from here to there remember, not the other way aroundâŚ
All of Africaâs heroes were Indian, save for Shaka, who killed his family and made himself a hero.
Sorry to say it, hey thatâs history though⌠If you like the history you read - youâre just not studying history.
I donât think you read the right history books for knowledge on Africa
I am not a European, I am an Indian.
Europeans did have a large presence in Africa. After all they are the closest neighbors and somebody did stay to facilitate the colonial trade.
It doesnât really matter though. All I want to say is, itâs odd not to have African Villagers in their own Homecity. They are rather using Indian Villagers as a placeholder. To me it feels incomplete.

Ok wow - africa is the closest to Europe â Soooo, china and the Mediterranean are⌠just not on the map I guess.
Although -
Strictly speaking, and I mean really strictly speaking - there was actually no such thing as an African Villager, or policeman, or any of that.
There was absolutely no desire for any form of advancement at all, quite happily living with nature - not even a boat to speak of by the time van reebeck landed.
If you want to make it 100% accurate, Africa was actually stuck in the Nomad era till 380 years ago.
Not everyone in Africa was tribal hunter gatherers. Not the settled Empires in question here (i.e. Hausa and Ethiopians).
They had bustling markets full with all types of people, vendors, craftpersons, performers, fishermen, merchants, blacksmiths, trade carts etc.
Every home-city in the game has its local civilian people roaming around, but am not seeing them in these pictures.
They are art images, probably there will be NPC like that ingame.

Lol I didnât think I need to say this, but I think its rather clear that these Indian villagers that you spotted are placeholders. Donât worry.
If you think about the priority list for making new Civs, buildings, units and the homecity optics are all top priority. Since they are still in the process of developing, the Homecity is a good thing to share with the community since not all assets have to be finished.
Hence you can spot some military units already (parts of which we already saw in the April screenshots), but the home city civilians are truly the last thing that will probably be worked on by the devs
Also, there are already African villagers in the present version of the game 
Just check the historical campaign or scenario editor
