voted no to more european civs, at least for now. however itâd be interesting to see sales number for the existing DLCs. even if its not europe, many players would probably still purchase it just to play it.

I totally agree!!! Is this not the whole purpose of these polls?
In my opinion, the âGeorgiansâ are absolutely needed (to insert a Caucasian civilization), then I would see theâ Swissâ (a civilization based on pikemen and above all on mercenaries as a new game mechanics), then I launch a last proposal, the âRomansâ, in my idea they would be a âfusionâ between the Rome of Late antiquity (already widely present in two campaigns) and the medieval one of the popes, a civilization based on infantry, monks and contrast to enemy monks, unique unitsâ Protectoresâ infantry non-convertible defensive and anti-monk âmonksâ âInquisitorsâ

Not European per se, but Iâm all for the Armenians, and maybe a South Slav people.
I thought of perhaps having a more High Medieval Scandinavian civilization to represent the Kalmar Union, as well as a Finnic civilization too.
Overall though, how many new civs could AOE2 continue to add, in terms of both gameplay and cultural value?

not sure. the moddable civ value went from 48 to now over 60 I believe so they probably have plans to make this into League or Dota where people can choose many different civs in hope to gain some sort of traction.
as for game play, they can always add new unique features as they have been doing.
Weâve had Romans as a monk civ since AoK

if you are referring to the âByzantinesâ (the âEastern Romansâ) in my opinion those should be a little modified (Greek as a language, and at least in part the architecture), but this would make them very different from the âWestern Romansâ , even the âItaliansâ would need a âtweakâ (especially the language that could be that of the Italians of AoE III) and could represent the âcity-statesâ of medieval northern Italy, in this case the âRomansâ like them I mean I could fill the role of âLatin civilizationâ (also intended as a language)
The Western and Eastern Romans were the same culturally, they are just the same civ. We dont need a Pope civ at all either

But it would be fun to excommunicate the opponent.
So we need an Antipope civ.

You can do that with Italians
Teutons dont fit that role?
It depends. If humor isnât for people then sure Teutons. We can still crack wise here right?!
I know sarcasm is a language deader than most languages butâŠ

Western and Eastern Romans is a modern construct. In their time, they were all Romans.
Western Romans fell in 476 (or 480, depending on who you ask). For campaign sake, in Alaric and Attila times, they were the same Romans, so itâs ok to represent Aetius and Honorius Romans as Byzantines. After that, as the Western Empire fell, itâs not neccesary to have an exclusive Wetern Roman civ.
Latin civilization are all Western Kigdoms in the game
However, you are right saying the civ we know as Byzantines, ditched Latin as an official language in 620 (Heraclius would be hell of a campaign, BTW), but there are mods for that and I asure you, if the devs changed their language to Greek, there would be mods to change back their language to Latin.

I prefer Byzantineâs. Italians are Lombard kingdoms/Genoa.
Teutons fit better the excommuniating the pope role. They are no joke
âThis too was not enough, for pope and antipope promptly excommunicated each other.â

You should have created your own thread AND tried a little bit of formatting. If you wonât take the time to make it look good why would I assume you want it to be good if you just slop it together like this and make it look no effort?
