I really liked the idea of bringing more civilizations !! It would be great if each had a unique game mechanic or at least new units.
I really wanted Brazil to be the next civilization to be added.
It is the largest colony in South America, just as the US is in North America.

I buyed it and found out that USA is incredibly fun to play! I think I’ll buy any DLC for any AOE game because I want to support further development of my favorite franchise.
And for me, I wanna see Ethiopians, Hausa, Zulu, Italians, Persians and Mapuche at least, but any new content, as long as have good desing will be fine.

Except the New World doesn’t take place in England, but in North and South America, in which United States definitely exists between the colonial era to 1850. Hell, the campaign even features the American Revolutionary War, so why shouldn’t the civilization exist in the game?

The game also takes place in Asia, where the USA was nowhere to be found, and did nothing.
A lot of the units in the game are also not Colonial in any way, but actually from the 30 Years War and the Napoleonic Wars, so it is not about the USA either.
The only thing in the game, that the USA actually invented, is the Gatling Gun. Everything else was invented by Europeans, in Europe.
Are you saying the Fountain of Youth is to be taken seriously?

You guys might’ve invented it, but we’ve perfected and heavily utilized it, considering the landmass of the United States and the Railroad Industry, I’d say the Railroad is more in-line with the United States than Great Britain during this time period.
Right, because the United States has nothing to do with opening trade agreement with Japan or being involved in the First and Second Opium War as well as the Boxer’s Rebellion in China during this time period.
Life Pro Tip: If you’re going to show disdain to other countries’ history, at least you should try to learn about them first.

Lol, no.
The USA only became the world’s military and industrial center, AFTER WW2!
Before that, Europe was the center of both scientific proggress and military might.
If anything, the USA should have been a lower tech civ than all of the European ones. Even all the Steamboats came from Europe first, and the Sloop was the replacement of the Caravel.
The only thing in the game, that is actually FROM the USA, is teh Gatling Gun.
Do not talk to an european about History, when our education systems are far better than yours, and we actually HAVE History.

They complain because the civs in AoE have always been people groups, United states is a nation, not a people group. Same for Americans, they simply didnt exist, they werw British. And guess what? We already have the British.
They have some cool mechanics, but they also copy a lot from other civs, they have simply too much. I can make a civ with all european mechanics and it would be fun to play, but it breaks the entire game, no reason to play the other civs.
US is better at coin producing buildings basically then Dutch. They get 2 churches which produce coin, a bank which in contrary to Japanese can be rebuild and they have like 3 different ways in getting passife coin tickle making them have like 17 settlers off map in total.
Everything from the US civs looks industrial or higher, which just doesnt feel right in a game. They have basically nothing of history present for the first 3 and a half ages, which isnt odd, because the US didnt exist in the first ~4 ages! It feels like you are playing against a civ belonging in a victorian age game. Not AoE III timeframe.

LOL! US more doing with railroads? Britain had almost entirely connected all their cities before the US connected some. Not to mention the entirety of Europe was arleady full of railroads. The industrial revolution was way higher in Europe then US.
Also some countries didnt need to bully Japan into opening trade as some were too cool for school and had still trade deals and the Dutch even had an entire island they were allowed to trade on.
And how in the world did you come about that the US was involved with the Opium war? In both Opium wars the US wasnt involved. The US had an actual presence in Asia when they got the Philipines from the Spanish, which was in 1902, making it outside the games timeframe. Also the Boxer rebellion is in 1899 which is again outside the time period.

Oh my oh my, isn’t this the classic “my co-ck-untry is bigger than yours”?
You are all important and already got a place in the game, leave the anger behind friends
Come and take a look to something to be discover, to be learn, to be finally acknowledged in this big historical game

How you come to that conclusion? You read one comment or something? If someone says that the US was bigger in industrialization and had involvement in a war they didnt have we are allowed to correct them as its history and thats basically all to do with the game.

Clearly that wasn’t the case considering when you failed to understand the United States involvement during the 19th Century by mentioning that they had no participation in the Pacific Theatre. Considering that United States didn’t exist after the war against Great Britain is clearly laughable when it actually set the standard for the modern form of Government, while you Europeans were still worshipping Kings and Queens with your Royal Monarchy.
As said, this game takes place in North and South America from the Colonial age to the start of the 1900s, and the United States was definitely a nation of its own at this time. How someone with your European education failed to acknowledge this implication is really making me question about the validity of your educational system. I’m not here to start a bragging contest, but stating the obvious, and whether you’re able comprehend the history lesson from other countries around the world isn’t really my concern.
But I guess in your mindset, Great Britain and other European countries controlled the United States from 1600s to World War II, and United States has never really existed after their war of independence. Seriously, what a brilliant set of Age of Empires players we have on this forum.

Hahaha!
Democracy and Republic came from Antiquity, in Europe.
We Europeans always did best when under Monarchy. It will return, and it is just a matter of time.
Your US based system is collapsing, due to the perpetuity of internal strife. It will not even last another century.
God bless the King. God is the King.
Game is about civilizations, not national groups. All you have in the USA, was taken from Europe, Asia and the Native Americans.
All other civs in DE are called by their cultural names (Spanish, Germans…" except USA, which has a nation name. Perhaps because if one was to give it a people name, it would just be “Thieves”.

You dont read our replies do you? We have stated that Americans arent a thing for the first 4-5 ages. The US became independent in 1776, the people still were British or other Europeans, they didnt suddenly become Americans different from British. The game has always been about people groups, not nations. Actual Americans probably came to be around later then 1830 which means you have a civ in a game from 1492-1890 which the people only existed for around 50 years. Same as having a game from 1600-1920 and having the soviet union.
Also you have stated multiple inaccuracies of the US, like being involved with the Opium wars.
Also you do know the US decleration of independence was for the most part based on the one from the Dutch? That there were multiple republics in Europe already and that the US government is ■■■■ compared to actual good working democracies?

Not only that, but half of their Constitution is Haudenosaunee, and the other half is Greco-Roman.
This guy probably did not even know that there were democracies and Republics, even in the Middle Ages, like the Qarmatians or the Republic of Florence.
Americans actually really do think they invented modern Democracy, which is insane!
