'Chieftains of the New World' A DLC concept

[MatM1996]

@Eldee

Hunac Ceel

In my case it would be Lady Six Sky (683-741)…

@Eldee

Erendira

In my case it would be Zuangua (1486-1520)…

@Eldee

Anyway, I digress. The Zapotecs who were the other other civilisation in Medieval era Mesoamerica are a siege civ, my choice for their campaign would be on Cosijoeza, who waged war against the Aztecs and went undefeated. My reasoning for this choice would be to show from another perspective just how ruthless the Aztecs were which we didn’t get with the tragic story of Montezuma, plus it would be another example of a new campaign where you go up against the heroes of an OG campaign (there was a point when both Cosijoeza and Montezuma were rulers of their respective kingdoms at the same time, so their paths very much could have potentially crossed).

That seems fine to me…

Why only 2 civs? Lets stop encouraging this minimalist release style when the first expansion gave us 5

There is no money to make such big dlcs…

@TwerDefender

what’s this?

Yes, that’s strange…

Unless its a dlc from civis from around the world its a bad design due to the number of civis ingame right now.

Some of these civ bonuses exist already.

UUs and UTs sound terrible. Stop locking viability of UUs behind UTs or copy pasting existing units. Villagers costing Wood instead of Food in Imperial age is just not worth researching. Maybe if it made them much cheaper.

You really gotta reconsider some of these bonuses:
Faster shooting scorpions or mangonels? Celts anyone?
Team bonus: Outposts +25% hitpoints? How is making situational building with no armor and low hp last 1 second longer useful?
Team Bonus: Castles work 20% faster? Berber UT, hello??
+3 attack on skirms? Overpowered. And UU that is also skirm?? Whats the point of both together?
-20% cheaper eco techs is not a real eco bonus. Some civs get several techs free.
Garrison in eco buildings? Just better Khmer bonus where all vills are unkillable in sturdier buildings?

There is plenty more that makes these civs not work but yep, work on it.

Besides the AI graphic - which spurred lots of discussions and contributions - and the bonuses, I would prefer just one Americas DLC with Purepechas, Chimú and a Maya campaign.
