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

That’s perfect! I only need one new one.

Now hopefully this opens up new architecture sets for old civs, like the Armenians, Byzantines, Bulgarians, and Georgians getting a Black Sea set.

I feel like another Andine civ would have been better than three fairly isolated ones to be honest.

Well, if we’re getting three unique sets for three civs, that is your confirmation that they’ll be doing more to existing ones.

pathing is only one of the issues.

the lobby browser is still broken
communication with the dev team is non-existant
game crashes without reconnects are still an issue
nothing is being done about smurfing
no way to find fair matches if you don’t want to learn new maps every few weeks (lobbies are broken+has no visible rating, ranked forced you into lots of different maps)
only way to spectate games is to find them on an external website and watch with an external (and paid) tool

I could go on

my expectations are very low, i have no trust left anymore

i am almost certain nobody ever reads anything written in the forums. it’s just a few of us shouting into the void

I am also really worried about more gimmicky units and badly designed new mechanics. (anyone wanna bet on more charged attacks, auras, magic shields and armor ignoring?)

The Muisca campaign is at least a nice content extension for the usual 15 scenario, altho it makes me a bit more salty over the Three Kingdoms. If they had made Three Kingdoms one campaign playing as the Chinese it would have at least been tolerable

Let’s hope it is return to form. No need for too many gimmicks, stick to the basics and you are good!

3 new architecture sets sounds too good to be true. I would bet money on two sets.

Im betting on one

Altho if they design a new Tupi set to be shared with a future Tainos I wouldnt mind

I don’t see how that’s confirmation. All the civs are new.

I would imagine the Inca and Mapuche would share a set, and then the Muisca and Tupi would share a set.

Yeah I do get you. But that would make it a bit similiar. The atmosphere, map design, scenarios. Going for the Tupi allows them to show stories, wars with the Portuguese in Amazon, Brazil, whereas the Mapuche are in the Andes and the Muisca more close to central america, Colombia. Those landscapes are pretty similiar. Also why only show the Spanish as colonizers, as we’ll probably see them fighting the Mapuche in their respective campaign. Fighting Portuguese in the Amazon, Brazil, is a nice addition for overal scenario variety. Different stories are welcome.

Cysion has clarified on reddit.

The wording on the website has been updated to clarify the new architecture set is shared between the new civs :slight_smile:

I think we can dream big. They are adding many many new animals for this DLC, as previously leaked. Looks like they get all in for sauth America. 3 architectures (maybe 4 with incas) seams fitting.

I also expect multiple regional units to be added. Maybe new siege units that make sense for natives.

And there goes the dream….

Finally, they say it right upward. That’s the way to not get hopes up. I mean the wording was very specific. Good they fixed it

It’s just one shared one (I’m glad, as I’m not keen on unique sets). Hopefully the Inca get it too.

2 Likes

Yep, but then again. We’re still getting a new set and a classic format of an expansion. A true age of empires expansion.

3 Likes

Yeah, I hope the Inca get it as well!

Looks like another 3K to me.

Why would they give a shared architecture for those 3? when those didn’t have any stone buildings… But what’s more surprising why pick those 3 (which are irrelevant in their region and time period) instead of purepechas, chimu, wari and tiwanaku lol

Well, that’s as far as I got with Age of Empires.

Thanks so much for the memories :blush:
