I believe that AoE3 will continue to get DLCs although the developer’s focus’ is right now on AoM retold.
Here is my prediction for the next 3 DLCs after Poland and Denmark will be introduced:
A. Introduction of the Arabs or Morocco and Persia or Safavid Dynasty
B. Introduction of Korea together with Indonesia
C. Introduction of Brasil and South Africa or another African Civilization
I hope I’m wrong, but my prediction is that after this DLC the game will stop receiving content and will only receive some sporadic patches or one last patch that “fixes everything”. 
Again I see ignored of important civs “Tatars Crimean Khanate” and “Ukraine Zaporozhian Host”
Yes, Morocco and Bormu or Kongo, although I see them returning to Asia with Persia and Oman… Korea with Indonesia maybe, but I see it more logical Burma with Siam as RotR in AoE 2 and then another Korea and Vietnam… Brazil and South Africa have no relation or sense, it would have to be Brazil and Argentina (taking advantage of the bicentennial of the Brazilian War) and South Africa and Mutapa or Zulu making a relationship between the conflicts of the Boer settlers and the Zulus with the British (Anglo-Zulu wars and Boer wars) (1879-1902)…
Nah, I think they’re going to alternate between the DLCs for AoMR and AoE 3 DE (there’s a reason they made both games use the same version of the Bang Engine)… the 3 DE/AoMR team isn’t going to spend a year with just one game… if next year they don’t announce anything for the 20th anniversary of AoE 3, then I’ll accept that the game is dead…
Yes, a Central Asian DLC with Tartars or rather Kazakhs and Uzbeks…
Before the announcement of Poland an the next dlc d Denmark my guess for next DLC civs was Persia (because it would be a new architecture style, plus we already have some of their neighbors)
and maybe Tatars (because just like how Malta went from campaign exclusive civ to full civ, taking the tatars from the historical battles seemed plausible).
But right now I don’t think I can predict anything, after all I never expected a DLC of euro civs after a DLC of eurocivs
Yes, that’s true, nobody expected another European DLC after KotM, but 2 years ago after KotM the Polish and Danish flags had been leaked, so the announcement of the Baltic DLC now was no surprise… now with the Baltic DLC, the flags of the next DLC will surely be leaked again (Balkan flags appeared xd)…
Importantes? Para quien importantes? Hay culturas con mas peso en el periodo de Age Of Empires 3
A Balkan DLC civ announcement would signal:
Revs & minor civs sure, but as lovely and respectable as those nations were/are they are incredibly niche and unimportant during the timeframe on compared to others, other than being under control of the Ottoman Empire.
Minor Civs/Royal Houses = Fine. A Republic of Ragusa minor civ would be nice (perhaps entirely non-military units like Diplomats and Argosy trade ships or something).
Any Balkan civ over Malagasy, Shona, Korean, Persian, Siam, Morocco (to name all but a fair far more interesting and valid playable civs), etc = what the heck? 
I will never get why people think they would ever call a civ by a dynasty name, that isn’t how AOE naming scheme is, at least not AOE3.
Korea doesn’t seem super unlikely, but i imagine they are more likely to be coupled with Siam or Persia.
I don’t really understand this combo, they have nothing in common with one another, even ignoring the timeline issue (there is no south african state in the period) i just don’t think AOE will ever touch SA.
If Brazil gets added it will 90% be as a solo civ similar to the USA and Mexico.
I am sure we will see some Ukrainian techs and units within the Polish civ, though a full civ seems unlikely.
Ottomans are a dynasty name.
To be fair to the Ottomans, they were Ottomans before and after the period. Many other suggested dynasties didn’t last the length of the timeframe.
The Republic of Ragusa (Dubrovnik) was a major competitor to Venice in trade in the eastern Mediterranean. It was the Croatian state. I think this would be a strong candidate to become a new Minor Civilizations category - Maritime Civilizations. This could be added to the game with the Oceania DLC and Navy update.
To be fair Lords of the West exists, which is peak “literally who asked for this” in terms of civs included, massively gimmicky unique abilities that made you feel like devs were scratching the bottom of the barrel included. So there’s a precedent for the devs adding random places just cuz they are in Europe I guess.
Ragusa thrived almost exclusively out of being an Ottoman tributary. The one colony they sorta kinda maybe possibly had was in India… so why would they show up in a Polynesia expansion lol?
Not seem super unlikely, but relatively unlikely. Koreans are absolutely not a bad choice, but given their history of isolationism I can see there are at least 8 more solid choices before them, and I’m not even sure we can have more than 8 new civs anymore.
I would say they should be coupled with Vietnam. They both were the most important tributary states of imperial China. They can have new buildings or mechanics related to the tributary system to replace the current Consulate mechanism and use export in a unique way.
Siam and Persia, on the other hand, both respectively had Burma and Oman who were more suitable for being coupled with them geographically and historically. After Siam & Burma and Persia & Oman, there may probably be federal Brazil & native Mapuche for South America, Kongo & Zimbabwe for Southern Africa and even maybe Maori for Oceania, and then South Korea & Vietnam.
As for Indonesia, we already have a revolutionary option for them. This doesn’t mean that a complete Indonesian civ based on the Aceh Sultanate is impossible, but it does mean that they don’t provide much coverage for the blanks in the game. The Brazilian civ have the same situation, but they have stronger market support.
Zaporozhian Host could be likely to be the new revoluitonary option for Polish and Russians.
Indonesia sounds weirdly anachronistic as a civ to me, not that India isn’t but I don’t think India is a good precedent to follow.
Javanese and Malays though would make a good pair, Malays also has the advantage of being a civ in AoE II, and people loooove when the civs have a counterpart in the prior game for some reason.
Because I think Oceania DLC would be perfect to add to AoE 3 Seaside Minor Civilizations for all sea maps (both old and new).
I think they’re excellent choices for civs. The reason they weren’t highly requested is because most people don’t know a lick of history and neither nation survived until the present time. The Sicilian Normans are also not at all confined to western Europe. They constantly attacked Byzantium and conquered territories in Africa, Anatolia, and the Levant.
I find it weird to complain about AoE2 being too European when every civ follows essentially the same European template. Even if they picked civs from underrepresented areas like Africa or the Americas, they’re still going to be 90% the same as a European one. There just isn’t the diversity of civ design like there is in AoE3 where you actually can pull off radically different civs.
I would argue that Hoop does kind of know a little bit of history
I’m not saying he doesn’t. But he’s also a bit over the top against adding anything European. For the most part, I’d agree with him, but only if the civs from other locations are actually done in a way that captures their uniqueness. Slapping an exotic name on a European roster like they do in AoE2 and AoE4 isn’t any better than featuring some of the lesser known European powers. Burgundians and Sicilians were fascinating and influential states that are absolutely worthy of a civ.
I’ll be honest here and say I really don’t care what the next DLC is, but I want it to bring along new maps, minor civs and flavour. I guess that largely excludes Europe since we’re now expecting another two European civs right away (any day now) and I’m concerned it will be very bland and lacking in the extra content. I’m still disappointed that TAR didn’t include a campaign. Its not really just about the civs anymore to me, its about rounding out the game for single player, balancing multiplayer without weirdly favouring a few civs while nerfing poor performers again and again, and fixing those stubborn technical glitches that keep recurring. Some communication would be highly appreciated also.
