They also throw Congolese knives and don’t dress at all like dahomey amazons just to insure there wasn’t any rogue details that ended up making some form of sense.
I thought about making a Byzantines concept for AoE3.
Playing as the Byzantines is a fan favourite in Europe Universalis 4 (a game that covers the same time frame as AoE3).
It wouldn’t be completely unreasonable considering that AoE2 just got the Late Western Roman Empire too.
There would be a little “what if” involved though.
But this thread is about AoE2 units not new civs for AoE3.
The idea is to have a crosspromotion and to close the “gap” between both games, making them feel more connected and making them feel more like 2 games of the same series.
Doesn’t make much since (even if I’d love that) because AoE2 is in a completely different engine then AoE3, unlike AoE1 that just used an older version of the AoE2 engine. AoE1 just got 15+1 civilisations while AoE2 has a lot more, plus they all got unique units.
Also AoE4 exists and getting a second medieval 3D AoE would be too much.
That’s why I didn’t list them. They are also not a normal trainable unit for the Hausa anyway.
Ah yes I’m getting sidetracked, anyways I think we need Genoese Crossbowman
No, not the Pavisiers. I mean a real full fledged Genoese Crossbowman, acting as real mercenaries.
So, a mercenary variant of Pavisier.
I’ll patiently wait for your Byzantines AoE 3 concept
