AoE2 tore apart its indians civ into four civs.
And it’s still AoE2.
That’s all I’m saying.

I do agree it’s a good feature but I don’t think it’d fit AoE3 since there are no dropoff points in AoE3. It would be better on AoE2.
Yes and I’m glad it did but some (some) people were really against that as well lol
And they get especially defensive about ES stuff even though it’s full of inaccuracies.
I wish 3DE would also split its Indians into multiple civs, and also that 2DE’s Indian civs would be given knights. I’m 1000% sure there’s not historical reason for the lack of them and FE only did that to mimic TAD’s Indians not having horses.
lo chistoso es que ES no agrego a los indios eso fue por parte de F.E en su momento y que esta año arreglaron xd

I’m sorry, but what are you saying? I’m not good at Spanish and the translation isn’t helping either.
i think he says that indians where added by forgotten empires and then they split them up later.
Maybe? I think they also mentioned how Indians weren’t implemented by ES.
Yes, he said that indians were added later and then splitted. Both by FE
Solo se me ocurren dos opciones.
- Que no sea una pista y solo es una manera de distraernos.
- Que en lo que esta por venir en el aniversario tenga algo que ver con Infusiones de hierbas.
No se me ocurre nada mas, pero obviamente esta es solo mi opinión. 
Yes, this kind of posts could be made only to be used for keep engaging the players and the people that follows the social media.
I mean, they made a short article of history and there’s 68 posts in this forum talking about with no little clue about if there’s a sign of content coming

Yes, and Persia so you have the two great original civs from the other AoE that are missing in AoE 3…Persia and Joseon in AoE 1,Persians and Koreans in AoE 2 and now you would have Persians and Koreans also in AoE 3…
For religious reasons… The Japanese do not eat meat because of the fact that they are Shinto and they respect nature and the Indians do not eat cow because they are Hindus and for them the cow is sacred…
Yes, they are still bugged but yes, at least the TAD campaigns are the best and the most historic of the game next to the TWC Fire campaign (American Revolutionary War campaign)…

That’s not completely right, it’s because they’re Buddhist as well. I don’t know about Shinto, but I know for a fact Buddhism discourages consumption of meat.
It’s not like I’m not aware. lol
That is a racial stereotype . Japanese buddism and shinto do not truly prohibit meat, not to mention that china is also buddist also with some tengrism (which shinto is a sort of cousin to) and they have no restrictions. It’s only after the green revolution that people started being picky with their protean before then you consumed whatever food that was given to you. The reason they didn’t have land animals but mostly fish was geographical not religious. And when they made contact with europe and america especially during the industrial revolution yea they had beef.
In indian culture a cow that produces milk is really valuable and owning one is considered a great luxury even today. So of course they’re considered ‘sacred’ but they still ate them. Bulls aren’t that sacred after all.

Yes, that can also be, but I know it is for religious reasons…
Yes, thanks for clarifying…
Ah thank you for clarifying.
Only Chinese Buddhism is really prohibited from eating meat. The vast majority of Indians believe in Hinduism, followed by Islam. The proportion of Buddhism in India is very rare.
Religion in India (2011 Census)
Hinduism (79.8%)
Islam (14.2%)
Christianity (2.3%)
Sikhism (1.7%)
Buddhism (0.7%)
Tribal Religion (incl. Sarnaism, Bon, Animism, Kirat Mundhum, Donyi-Polo) (0.5%)
Jainism (0.4%)
No religion (inc. Atheism, Agnosticism, Secularism and Unanswered) (0.25%)
Other (incl. Baháʼí Faith, Zoroastrianism, Judaism)
You’ve also got to consider modern times and the invention of artificial fertilizers.
Religion nothing people ate what they could get.
Even just 200 years things were different .
Not to mention demographic change.
Some source of why Japanese avoided meat
India not eating herdables are because cow = sacred, and then the rest of animals because gameplay reasons and cohesion (in some maps you find cows, but in other sheeps)

According to this, the game mechanic of villagers not being able to gather food from land animals could be replaced with: villagers can gather from land animals but with some penalties, maybe a lower gathering rate from animals (sort of like collecting normal food/10) but also unit health regeneration (medicinal meat, from the source). And also with Meji’s restoration technology in the consulate, it allows harvesting meat at normal (or even increased) speed.
Except that the Indians are not entirely Hindu. In the timeframe of AoE3, the Mughals were Muslim and eating livestock should technically still be ok.
The population was still overwhelmingly Hindu. It’s probably best to have them not able to gather from any livestock just so it’s consistent.
