Easter Egg Compilation 🥚

[ArrivedLeader22]

Not sure. The only thing I know is I don’t see them in the game.
Or if there existed a “generic” version of the cuirassier they could have the same animation.

[RatcicleFan]

Show? I thought there were only movies.

[cnp122059]

Maybe he’s talking about “Cops”.

[MatM1996]

A lot… mainly in African civs… the African detachments when selected use the sound of the watchtower of aoe 1…

[MatM1996]

Yes, it can be… I also remember that the alpha of aoe 3 looked quite graphically like aoe 2 and that there were like eight ages to advance…

[MatM1996]

Well it’s similar xd…

There are a lot of AoE 1 icons that were used in African Royal, I don’t know if it’s laziness or as a wink from the devs 21

All of the icons are remade, none of them is a 1 to 1 copy from AoE1.
The same with the sounds.
The houses and towers make a similar creation sound as in AoE1 but it’s not the same.
Just a lot of references to AoE1, which I think is pretty cool.

Not sure why they chose to do that for the Afticans, as they are no Africans in AoE1 (besides North African civs like Egypt and Carthage).
Maybe simply because they are they only new region they added to the game yet. All other civs they added were European or American.

[MatM1996]

Of course, they wanted to do that to remember AoE 1, they said why not?..

[ResultedRex9901]

This is pretty much a copy

[image] In the african live stock market, the gold purification uses the same icon as [image] the metallurgy upgrade from the storage pit in aoe1 (gives all melee units +3 attack)

The gunslinger is a tribute to John Wayne

[EliteRiflemann]

Until here I arrived with the references to the spaghetti western 21

[SinkingApple935]

It’s sad that this quote never appears (because Hausa Emirs automatically respawn rather than being ransomed), but there’s a very funny quote in the database from Amina referring to the infamous 419 or “Nigerian Prince” scam that’s supposed to trigger whenever she ransoms her hero.

“My Nigerian princes requested that I pay an absurd amount of money for their ransom. What frauds!”

Age of empires 3: the pirate’s eye patch looks like a villain like the sanke in the stronghold’s game

The Bandido is to The face looks like mine of the Goro Majima in game of yakuza

[EliteRiflemann]

Actually, I think the Bandido is a tribute to Tuco, of the good, the bad and the ugly

[EliteRiflemann]

Greta, the Lakota chief’s daughter in the “Respect” scenario of John Black’s campaign is a reference to Greta Forkbeard, a character who appears in Fall of the Trident in AoM.

[Coranhon1]

She must have a great personality too

@EliteRiflemann

Tuco, of the good, the bad and the ugly

Nah, they don’t like similar. Wiki updated.

[EliteRiflemann]

For me neither, that’s why i said i thought but in fact I’m not very sure, the resemblance comes more than anything because of the outfit he wore in that movie, he was wearing an eye patch and a military uniform that could be used as the union and as of the conferacion. In the unit portrait, apart from wearing a patch, he also has a kind of military uniform

nova carta dos 3 mosqueteiros e uma obvia referência ao conto francês de Alexandre_Dumas

[ArkadasLlisa]

There are a lot of references in new cards
