New DLC! Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition – The Last Chieftains

They have to—otherwise, why even mention it in the description? I wonder if we’ll get Galvarino both with hands and then without them.

A campaign focusing on Inés Suárez would be cool. She was active as a swordfighter on certain occasions, and encouraged and nursed her comrades, so her unit could be like a Warrior Priest, being able to both attack and heal. The conquistadora accompanied Pedro de Valdivia and became his mistress. Her campaign could be a precursor to the Lautaro one, with a unique perspective on the conflict.

I’ve never gotten the hype around Tlaxcalans, it’s just aztecs with spanish tech, just like… play those civs lol.

Simply not buying.

Won’t be buying anything until 3 Kingdoms is removed from multiplayer.

Its kinda like Spartans/Athenians split I guess

I can see that happen if they split Spanish, leaving them to be the early modern civ they already represent and making El Cid a different campaign.

Some historical inaccuracy, unit or architectural mismatch from History fans perspective. And from ranked players’ perspective, creating a very weak civ with no cavalry, other missing techs and units and no proper compensation for it like Dravidians or over compensating for it like OG Cumans, Gurjaras.

Civ design and campaigms

So pretty much everything outside of theme

Hey, we already got campaigns about Attila and Tamerlane, the Conquistadors aren’t as horrible in comparison :sweat_smile:

Though personally I’d indeed prefer a campaign based on a “likeable” Conquistador like Cortez rather than on a murder hobo like Pizarro.

Cortez was awful

Like, you can find worse than him, but he was a greedy, backstabbing, brutal person

The main reason i’d probably favor Pizarro (or Hernando de Soto if we get a Mississippians civ) is that we haven’t seen the fall of the Incas from either angle, whereas the fall of the Aztec Empire we’ve already seen from the Aztec perspective.

Cortes fought a battle against the Aztecs, at least, although it wasn’t the Aztec army at its peak. Pizarro massacred unarmed and unsuspecting civilians, precisely because it was the only way for him to win.

Without the help of Tlaxcalans, he wouldn’t have been able to win.

Yeah but my argument is that it would be difficult to create a campaign whose climax is you using bombards against villagers, it just wouldn’t be as exciting as a real battle.

Montezuma is already semifictional, A Tlaxcala campaign could go the same route

Bro the first thing Cortez did once he made landfall on the continent is to kill everybody in the closest village he could find what are you even talking about.

Welp, we’re not taught in detail about the Spanish conquest of Americas in Polish schools, so I guess I only know Cortez from sources that propagandize him. Still, in comparison to Pizarro he’s at least a bit ambiguous.

I’m still waiting for a rework of Incan voiceovers (bad quality).
