This is nothing new, we had this on Aoe4 since long ago, Jeanne De’Arc as a Hero, and Khan, and with English Kings as lords, in AOE4 in total we have 6 VARIANT CIVS
we even got House of Lancaster on the latest DLC, and Crusader as another 2 Variants
Yet you dont see the same negativity and outcry that AOE2 players do, its ridiculous and pathetic
Everyone seem to complain about 3k, when khitan and jurchen literally lasted 100-311 years, i like to remind you although Three Kingdoms ended, they become Chinas as of today and even the Jin Dynasty is strongly related to 3K since its the sons from Wei they just renamed the Kingdom, so its not really ended
Honestly, if people make this amount of outrage on the AOE2, Devs its not worth making content for such people, you are better off focusing on AOE4 and AoM Instead, we got 6 Variants and we were never this unhappy
aoe2 playerbase literally get mad at the idea of variants for the first time, ask to review bomb it and everything, absolutely pathetic. a bunch of jokers
We literally have the Chinese, who have as their UU a unit that was around during the Three Kingdoms period.
These are also not civs, these are political entities. This has literally never happened before for the game.
Considering they lied about this DLC and seem to have misled us in other areas, perhaps that is what you should be more focused on, rather than how people reacted to it?
Three Kingdoms lasted for 50-60 years (less than the avg human lifespan). They aren’t distinct cultures from Han Chinese. They don’t fit the game’s timeframe.
World’s Edge, have some spine. Do not earn the dirty money from these hideous people. You have millions and billions of consooomers from other places waiting to feed you.
Better wish you could earn enough money from them to cover your cost hiring bot armies btw
