Yes, the Tupi will have fortified palisades…

I think it’s more annoying than that. He says stuff he wants to be true but words is if it already were. And he probably already got called out for that.

Yes, you’re right, my bad. I looked at the technology trees on the wikia, and the new civilizations have stone walls (it seems strange to me that the Tupi and Mapuche have them, since I didn’t see any stone fortifications of theirs in the photos they showed) but not fortified walls or bombard towers (except for the Mapuche)…

The assets are already ingame why a civi cant build them is just odd.

Yes, it’s really strange that they don’t give it to any civilization. The Tupi and even the Mapuche (although there aren’t any pictures or paintings of them with walled villages) were ideal for it… for example, the Rus’ from Age of Empires 4 have it, and it makes sense, since their cities were basically made of wood…

we also have fortified pallisades, sea walls/gates, trade workshop and a whole bunch of other eye-candy buildings in the game. some buildings being scenario-only is fine. I’d even argue it’s good as it can make scenarios feel unique.

I’m slowly brainstorming a proper naval rework and I’m toying with the idea of letting fishing ships build and garrison sea towers (perhaps a bit nerfed from the existing editor building to avoid the temptation of spamming them). Sea walls and gates might be too much though, MAAAYBE on the shallow waters only.

plus ability to auto-repair ships
repairing ships is one of the most frustrating micro experiences in-game imo

I don’t disagree that it’s a waste, but this has been in the game since AoK and has never been buildable

This might be one of the few times we agree. They already copied other things from AoE3 (and iirc it’s already in 2DE as a civ bonus), why not this as well?

This could be the Saracens wonder…

If they got split? Becuase Saracens already got one.

Yes, even in AoE 3 you have building self-repair, but I think that would be very broken…

I’d let fishing ships repair other ships; self-repairing should be a technology or a civ bonus.

Tbh repairing qith fishing ships was an issue in AoE4

Does anyone know if there are new achievements for the Last Chieftains campaigns? Apart from win a match with each of the new civilizations.

I’m sure there will be, but I don’t think anyone knows what they are yet

Surely, we’ll probably have achievements in certain scenarios…
