Hey there @WolfGangPuck2! Would you mind trying these steps in regards to the Chinese civilization?

Aoe 3 DE BUG Portugese Nation missing

Hi @BarongBot, The Home City file for Portuguese should be in C:\Users\[USERNAME]\Games\Age of Empires 3 DE\[0]\Savegame and the file should be called sp_Portuguese_homecity.xml. Re-installing the game does not alter these files. If the xml file is there, delete it and re-launch the game. This will cause the game to create a new Portuguese Home City on startup. I hope this helps you! Let me know if you cannot find the sp_Portuguese_homecity.xml.

Let me know if those work for you or if you continue to have issues selecting the Chinese civ!
