Well, if we talk about international conflicts, and without taking into account the wars of independence of each country, Brazil fought much of its early history against Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay, but more than anything, its arch rival was Argentina (a beautiful relationship , such as that of France and England <3). But if we talk about international conflicts against powers, Mexico is definitely with the most daring record, it has faced numerous times against the USA and some European states.
Then, the rest of the Latin American countries have had at least one conflict against Europe, here I would like to highlight Argentina again, apart from having to confront England, France and Portugal at war openly on more than one occasion, it has had international altercations, perhaps the rarest case against the Sultanate of Sulu and the kingdom of Hawaii.
Most of the European civilizations that were overseas empires with colonies in America and / or Africa are already present in AoE 3. Just that detail
Wikipedia only give general data or with edits with people who have enough time to write articles. I recommend other more reliable sources of information like this one.
Regarding the Jivaros, I give some key points:
They are a civilization that was never conquered by either the Inca Empire or the Spanish Empire (they were never even defeated by them).
Both Incas and Spaniards tried to conquer their territories repeatedly, in the case of the Spaniards it is due to the existing gold mines in their territory.
In the year 1599 the âJivaro Insurrectionâ took place: an army of 20,000 Jivaro warriors rampaged 6 cities, assassinating at least 25,000 Spaniards (the figures vary up to 30,000 or even 50,000).
In the year 1600 an army of 1,000 Spanish soldiers (and an indeterminate number of auxiliary natives) was sent with the mission of subduing the JĂvaros and recovering the territories lost by the Spanish Empire, these Spanish soldiers were annihilated, only 4 Spaniards surviving.
Throughout the 17th century and a good part of the 18th century, Spanish expeditions were sent to subdue the JĂvaros, all these expeditions failed, those military expeditions were led by Jesuits and due to the consecutive failures in 1704 the Jesuits were forbidden to arm more missions (although more expeditions were sent clandestinely during the 18th century, all these missions also failed), it was not until 1767 when the Jesuits were expelled from South America that the expeditions against the Jivaros ceased. The JĂvaron did not allow any living Spanish to enter (or leave) their territories and it is probably the greatest military defeat suffered by the Spanish colony during the 16th and 17th centuries.
The Jesuits, in addition to evangelizing the JĂvaros, had the objective of conquering the Amazonian territory claimed by the Spanish Empire in the face of the threat of âPortuguese penetration into the Amazonâ (which eventually happened).
The prohibition of the Jesuits to send expeditions against the JĂvaros in 1704 was issued directly from ROME: "The Jesuits were forbidden to continue their missionary work among the JĂbaros, by an order coming from Rome, on the grounds that the defeats were great and not justified the investment "
The Jivaro territory has been the source of many legends, such as the well-known âforests of cinnamon and a city made of goldâ as was well explained in the Francisco de Orellana campaign of AoE 2 (before the Definitive Edition).
The Jivaro territory, although it was delimited, was not conquered by Spain. It is one of the reasons why there were territorial conflicts with Gran Colombia and Peru, in theory both countries claimed those territories but in practice it was a territory not yet conquered; border conflicts continued even after the separation of Gran Colombia (The last conflict over these territories happened in 1995)
Finally: the Jivaron have appeared in various media such as movies, books and video games (as in the case of Blizzard games).
In my perception, the Jivaros have enough history and personality to be a Major civilization in AoE 3.
And regarding the Quechuas: The Incas were an empire, the Quechuas are an ethnic group that played an important role during the colonial era in South America.
There are a few that speak Italian, all of them mercenaries.
I am pretty sure the new civ is going to be Morocco, since we were supposed to get 3 civs in the DLC but got only 2 instead. It could have the same mechanics as Hausa and Ethiopia, or it could have something new entirely.
Little bombards and Elmeti have always spoken Italian thatâs nothing new. Not sure if they have the exact same voice lines though, I never build them that much.
IDK thereâs been discussions on this very forum about just that. The devs are aware. Itâs a delicate matter.
Think of it this way:
The more support this game gets the better the odds old civs will get updated. Asking for a huge rework is too much but I do think adding cards or reworking some cards are possibilities.
This patch did remove some redundant cards too so thatâs a good sign as well.
A dev responded to our concerns about updating old civs but I donât remember what thread it was. I know it was right around the time when AR came out.
Many of our suggestions do make it into the game. The devs are pretty active, more-so than most.
The most recent example is I and many others were complaining about the AI and this recent patch addressed it.
I assure you that they read a lot of what we write. Yesterday I made a joke about the possible new civilization saying it could be Wakanda and they deleted it.
The game is on the right track. I assure.
An example of that is returning the formation in which the skirmishers do not mix with the musketeers.
Even when the Hispanic community complained that they did not pay us much attention, the next day I think they already communicated with the content creators in Spanish to pass them keys and allow them to make content for the community. So yeah, they pay us a lot of attention.
Pretty much this. The very last patch contained a lot of ideas that came from the forum. Supporting the devs by buying all the DLCs is the smartest thing to do. The game is finally getting the attention and love it needs.
