Very happy!
Three new civs with each having new architecture sets. Classic three campaigns and clear aesthetic.
Also, this could hint towards the Inca getting a new architecture set as well!

It’s saying “each with their own unique units, technologies and architecture”

Where are you seeing this?
This looks pretty exciting! However, it’s not clear if there’s a new shared architecture set, if all three have unique architecture, or if they just have unique Castles.

Muisca and Mapuche are expected choices. But Tupi looks a bit strange. Anyone knows about them? It seems they didn’t have an empire, and only got colonized by the Portuguese.

The Tupi fought several wars with the Portuguese

Brazilian here. I personally really wanted the Tupis. I didn’t think they’d happen, but I’m glad they did.

According to the timeline, the Mapuche campaign is likely to be the historic Battle of Tucapel. （Spain vs Mapuche）
In 1535, Spanish colonizers began their conquest of Chile. The northern branch of the Mapuche people, the Pikunche people, were quickly conquered and assimilated, while the southern Mapuche people resisted the Spanish colonizers tenaciously for a long time. In 1553, the Mapuche people, led by their leader Lautaro, defeated the Spanish expeditionary force and killed Valdivia, the founder of Santiago and now known as the “Chilean conqueror”. A Spanish soldier who had participated in the colonial war created a long epic called “Araucans” with Lautaro as the protagonist, praising the bravery and martial spirit of the Araucans.
Based on my speculation, the spear wielding cavalry of the Mapuche people should be a light mounted anti cavalry unit or equipped with charge and attack skills ？
Should the special unit of the Muiska people be the Gecha infantry? Should the feature be switchable for close combat and long-range?（Close combat spear against cavalry, long-range against infantry ?）
I guess the archers of the Tupi people have poison arrow debuff. According to the archers of the Wu state in the Three Kingdoms DLC, this arrow debuff will be effective on population units.

IDK. After V&V and 3K it’s hard to look at new DLCs and be excited.
It…LOOKS…like a return to normal dlcs, but we’ve been “surprised” a few too many times for me to believe anything.
the muisca campaign that you can supposedly play from two perspectives from sounds…IDK if i’d go so far as to say interesting. novel for sure. we’ll have to see how it pans out.

*overpriced as in “go **** yourselves steam regional prices”

The 3 civs are on the 3 ends of the continent. Compared with Europe ad Asia, and due to their very different cultures (this living in the rainforest without big cities) it makes much sense for each of them to have their own architecture. Chronicles also showed that it is possible and makes sense to add more architectures.
Seeing the screenshots it looks like it plays out very good. I was always against North America to be added, but if this with South America plays out well, I will be open for it.

i wouldn’t bet on that. unique units and technologies is plural, but architecture is singular. So i reckon we get one new architecture set.
It’s their trademark “say something very misleading that isn’t quite a lie”. the buildings we see in the screenshot are probably each civ’s castle.
I personally won’t buy any DLC until the main issues of the game are fixed, and there is a way to play multiplayer without any of these gimmicky DLC civs (especially romans, 3K and caucasus)

Yeah, I only have an issue with the 3K civs. Those have to go out of the civ roster.

I feel they might be bringing new architecture for each, especially since we all kinda were talking how they never make efforts around that. Also Tupi had a very specific architecture which would not go at all with the Mapuche and Muisca one.
Like, I could make a compromise and understand to merge the Muisca and Mapuche ( maybe even inca ) into one architecture set. But the Tupi are way to distinct to share a set with them.
