Did you buy the DLC - USA civ? Future of civs for AOE 3 DE - Africa and Beyond

What I’m saying is that the inability to play as Hungarians with the Germans doesn’t preclude the “Germans” from properly representing the Austrians, just as none argue the “British” doesn’t properly represent the British since there are no Indian units.

If I wanted to role play a 2v2 skirmish where I play the “British Empire” I’d choose the British and set my AI teammate as the Indians. You could do something similar with the Austrians.

I never said Austrian empire, I said Austria. Which in fact is covered.

I cant because no civ represents Austrian empire.

Austrian empire was different:

  • multinational empire - different units can be applied (Czech, Hungarian, Croatian, Polish, Italien unique units)
  • multicultural empire - different cards (Jesuits, reformations of Maria Theresa and Joseph, strict catholicism changed into religious tolerance, wars with Ottomans + reconquering Balkan, military reforms during Silesian wars, land book…)
  • one of the major power during Napoleonic wars (additional cards, units, abilities?)

As you can see, there is a room for making the Austrians unique. In fact current Germany covers HRE in some sort (mainly around 30 Yrs war).

If you mean Austria as lands of Austrian archduchy around 30 Yrs war then you are right.

And as I explained, the British Empire was also a “multinational” and “multicultural” empire. Why is it you feel the current British civ suffices as a representation of the British Empire but not the current Austrian (German) civ?

The Austrian part of the HRE is fully covered. War wagon, Uhlan, Dopplesoldner, settler wagon etc.

To be honest, I dont care about British. Nevertheless, they are British in AoE3, not British empire.

I feel you are comparing uncomparable. I am speaking about European Austrian posessions. If Habsburgs had any colony in the world I would not speak about subjects in colonies as well.

War wagon - Bohemian not Austrian and never was Austrian :slight_smile:
Uhlan - originally Polish, later used by Austrians, Prussians, Russians
Dopplesoldner - not Austrian, probably from central Germany
Settler wagos - Bavarian, not Austrian

Please, please, please just read what I say.

I say Austrian lands, which refers both to the lands inside the HRE, of which Bohemia is part of Austria and eventually the dual monarchy the Austrian part of Galicia which is the Uhlans.

Also dopplesoldner were from the entire HRE, landsknecht were also from the entire HRE. Settler wagon in general is themed after South Germans of which Austria is part.

I read what you wrote.

And I am telling you Austrian lands (Bohemia, Austria, Galicia, Hungary, Venice, Croatia…) are not covered :slight_smile: I dont know how to say it more clearly :slight_smile:

Bavaria is not Austria :slight_smile: I think Bavarian would not be happy :slight_smile:

What difference does it make that India was a part of the British Empire overseas whereas the Hungarians were connected by land to the Austrian Empire? It seems like a trivial distance when one asks that one civ should receive representation of all their expansionist territories along with their “core” ethnic groups without expecting the same standard for all other civs.

In AoE3 British are called British. I dont know where you take reference to India.

The problem is all mentioned nations in Austrian empire were not “expansionists territories”. They were core. Hungary later became even more “core” by gaining independence (not full but major yes). All regions sent delegates to Austrian parliament. I dont know about any Indian representative in London parliament.

P.S. I am not from Hungary

Then you dont know history sorry ¯_(ツ)_/¯

War wagon in general is outside AoE III but represents Bohemians and guess what for most of AoE III timeframe Bohemia was part of? Thats right, Austria.

Uhlans were Polish, also used by Austria guess what territory Austria possesed? Thats right Galacia.

Settler wagons are first of all not an historical unit but of the looks of it its general South German which Austria also is. Dopplesoldners were in general from the HRE and also used by Austria.

This includes basically all of Austrian lands.

Sorry, but I will teach you then :slight_smile:
As a Bohemian I think I perfectly know what I can say. Therefore, yes, you are right War wagon (Hussite war wagon) is out of time frame of AoE3. In 1526 Bohemian nobles chose Habsburg as their own king, however, they were promised and recieved large religious tolerant laws and were very independent on Austrian ruler in terms of taxes, administration laws, religious laws etc. Bohemians had their own “parliament”. So therefore, speaking about Bohemia as Austria is nonsense. This was changed by 30 Yrs war.

Ok, so you are saying Uhlans are Austrian while at same time I can find Uhlans in Prussian, Russian and other armies.

They, where are all those Hungarian, Croat, Italian units?

I dont know about what we are speaking here? In case of European DLC, Austria is a good candidate.

People will complain about the U.S being ahistorical but not the Incas and Aztecs, which were destroyed in the early 16th century. Any excuse to hate on the U.S.

Did the Incas and Aztecs ever reach the industrial age or have railroads? Did they have major contact any Europeans besides the Spanish?

I agree, I would drop it, too. :slight_smile:

Because the game starts out in early colonial era and Aztecs and Incas both fit.
