New RoR Content

[twiglet2018]

Will there be new content for owners of Return of Rome in the foreseeable future?

[UpmostRook9474]

The Celts, Germans, Scythians, Vedic or Magadha Indians, and Xiongnu.
This five would be very suitable for the potential new civs.

Nothing was communicated toward this direction by MS

I really hope RoR is not abandoned like DE was.
There’s still a lot of missing content and units that need to be added.
And I’d definitely pay for a DLC adding new content such as civs.

I see as many as 4 potential DLCs here!:

1. Celtic Peoples DLC
2. Germanic Peoples DLC
3. Middle Eastern Peoples DLC
4. Nomadic Peoples DLC

Maurian, Parthians, Kushans, Central Asia and Indians.

MENA civs DLC from poverty as one package… if it could be done.

I don’t want to make necro but there was this topic:

Which factions do you think should be added to Europe in RoR?

As additions in a dlc, or as options in a poll? Because I don’t plan on limiting myself to the civs I thinks should be added to the game, it would not make sense to create a poll if I decided of the answers beforehand xD

Top 10 were:

• 55% Celts
• 54% Scythians
• 44% Germans
• 35% Dacians
• 32% Gauls
• 31% Etruscans
• 28% Thracians
• 25% Huns
• 20% Britons
• 14% Goths

I wish there were new RoR civs, but I don’t think that is going to happen. Not very profitable to make a DLC within a DLC.

[naoSalvo6890]

Maurians,
Nomads,
Central Asia,
Indians,
Africans,
Olmecs

I do hope there will be something such as new units, techs and civs.

[FloosWorld]

I hope they eventually add the missing original campaigns.

I think we can expect the last original campaigns, occasional minor balance changes (like 1 or 2 times a year), and regular pathing and AI improvements along with aoe2DE.

But I believe we will not get aything else. Or else they probably would not have implemented Return of Rome and woukd have further worked on aoe1DE.

Although I had assumed they would be a DLC, like AoC and FE with 5 civilizations.

• The Celts, covering Gauls, Britons and Celtiberians, fought against Caesar and the Roman army.
• The Germans, such as the Teutons, also fought against Caesar and the Roman army.
• The Scythians, led by Tomyris, killed the Persian emperor Cyrus the Great.
• The Indians, from the Vedic period to the Sixteenth Kingdom of Mahajanapadas to a powerful Magadha Empire, resisted Alexander’s invasions, developed cities and witnessed the birth of Buddha.
• The Xiongnu fought wars against the Yuezhi and Chinese dynasties for centuries.

As a promotion, it can contain an AoE2 civilization, such as the Vandals.

Other potential candidates include:

• The Iberians, who can share a new European architecture set with the Celts and Germans.
• The Thracians, covering Dacians, can use the Greek architecture set.
• The Yuezhi, who entered Central Asia from the east and later founded the Kushan Empire, could share a new nomadic architecture set with the Scythians and Xiongnu.
• The Nubians, who can use the Egyptian architecture set.

If it would be difficult to create a unique architecture set for Indians, they could use the Persian one.

I hope some day…

@UpmostRook9474

Yes, at least, let them put the AoEO civs in RoR: Celts, Nordics, Indians/Mauryans and also Goths and Scythians and to the east Xiongnu and Xianbei (ancestors of the Huns and Mongols respectively)…

They didn’t abandon it, they are going to put it in the RBW (not like AoE 3)… they will see if it is well received, they will give it new dlcs…

@naoSalvo6890

Maurian, Parthians, Kushans, Central Asia and Indians.

It would have to be Mauryas, since they covered the largest territory in India or be an Indian civ covering several empires… in Trajan’s campaign the Parthians are represented by the Persians, but the Persians have AIs of the Achaemenids…

Anything can be…RoR is more of a port than a dlc…

Yes, we are missing the campaigns of Yamato, Hatti and those of The Rise of Rome…Hatti would have to go in Turkey and those of The Rise of Rome in Italy and Western Europe (Ave Caesar in France and Enemies of Rome in Palmyra)…

@UpmostRook9474

• The Indians, from the Vedic period to the Sixteenth Kingdom of Mahajanapadas to a powerful Magadha Empire, resisted Alexander’s invasions, developed cities and witnessed the birth of Buddha.

I think the Guptas too, but the classic Guptas (320-550/750) (they would be contemporary with Yamato)…

@UpmostRook9474

Yes, I agree…there is a lot of potential there…

@UpmostRook9474

They could use the architecture of the Hindustanis from AoE 2 or that of the Indians from AoEO…

[Temudhun]

Oh, yeah, that’s just the poll for Europe, I did others for the rest of the world. Though the European one was among the most popular, there was a lot of test taker for Africa and the Middle East too.

I’m not too confident for future new civs or campaigns either, it seems unlikely unless MS retroactively integrates the game mode, civs and original campaigns into the base game for free. Such practices are actually not unheard of, it’s not too different from Paradox making the first three HoI4 dlc a part of the base game or Creative Assembly reducing Pharaoh’s price and adding more content retroactively to this game and the Shadow of Change dlc, but I’m not really optimistic about MS doing the same thing or drawing the right conclusion for the recent dlc’s failures, including RoR’s.
