If we should be lucky enough to get DLCs after Dawn of the Dukes, I hope Forgotten Empires will venture outside of Europe

Not yet. There are more to be added beyond Europe.

Yeah thats true. Nubians may be more influenced by the mediterranean culture but they are still an east african christian archer civ so fair to include them with Ethiopians

44

However couldnt we say the same about Swahili and Somalis then?

Yeah they arent related ethnically to Somalis unlike Nubians and Ethiopians, but they would be at the end open tech tree naval civs

Franks and Burgundians are pretty much the same case I guess. However I wouldnt say Burgundians are that good of a choice either

49

Yes, Cavalry with extra melee armor=not Cavalry civ 111111
Or Spanish who have fully upgraded Paladins with cheap Blacksmith technology and no other options

50

Nubians are Nilo-Saharan while Somalis and Ethiopians are Afroasiatic, however these 2 groups are as big as Indo-Europeans or Sino-Tibetan.

Civ doesn’t even get Light Cavalry. “”“Cavalry Civ”“”

Full Monastery, Full Barracks, Full Gunpowder (Bombard Tower, Bombard Cannon, HC), decent Trash and also perfectly fine on Water

We have the Pacific Islands map already. They’re clearly on the radar.

Perfectly fine? They are the absolute best water civ after the Portuguese and the Vikings.

57

Did people know about them in the middle ages?

58

Most people probably didnt know about Mayans either. Kanem was probably only known in the muslim world (not to say that Polynesians are at the same level as those)

Polys also interacted with Incas I think (?)

59

Thats just speculations but they could have gone there.
Spanish connected the meso civis Im not sure if the polynesian peoples had any real contact with outsiders during the game period.

60

Yeah Polys arent a great choice tbh (they are complicated to say the least)

Magallanes also arrived there for a bit, but not sure if they did anything beyond that

The Tuʻi Tonga Empire fits the time frame of AoE2.
