I am curious about Ugandans. Who were they?

Why do Manchus have Camels?

They were one of the tribes living around Lake Victoria in Africa iirc. Also iirc they had an empire some time before the AOE2 timeline whose collapse directly influenced the rise of the Axumite Empire (aka Ethiopia) sometime later. I only know a bit about them though, there are probably people who know more about the topic than me.

First bonus is too map dependent
Good for trash rush/defense, but could be too strong early on :thinking:

Does it do anything

35% seems like a lot

And ok bonus but again pretty map dependent.

Serbs look good, maybe create a Croatian list too.
No Imperial hussar but maybe another hussar bonus.

I have this idea - Garrisoned villagers (in monastery) increase/decrease x. Could be interesting. You can garrison vils to generate some sort of bonus? Dunno

Too strong?

Seems ok but you are missing a bonus description for castle

Useless bonuses apart from cheaper trebs and the Team bonus

Cool idea

Like that university tech for archers? nice

Trample?

Looks good to me. Maybe monasteries can heal within 10 tiles :slight_smile:

Ugandans would be representing the diferent states of the Great Lakes region, like the Kitara empire and thr kingdom of Buganda.

And pretty sure the area Manchu inhabited had camels

And how would no further expansions rule out other DLCs with skins, tech tree overhauls or campaigns?

One cannot seriously call the amount of content AOE2 DE now has “medium”.

46

I was responding to the sentiment that a few civs more then we have now was perfect, and more would be too much. Hence a medium-high amount of content, because the sentiment was that one shouldn’t want an actual very high amount of content.

47

What would the wonder be for Uganda?

48

It would probably be a reconstruction of an archeological site, but tbh no idea. I dont think Uganda are a necessary civ either

Im.not proposing Uganda for anew civ, just wanted to prove that you can still design a ton of civs.

49

I like that civi concept only issue would be the lack of contact with others for scenarios.

They interacted with Ethiopia and Im pretty sure they also interacted with the Swahili. Either way yeah its not great

I have given them a lot of fun stuff for a civ that doesnt have much priority
