Thanks to @CheshireWig3203 for making this list. I did the research on the civs and collected the images and other data. Hope this is informative enough.

Great poll mate but incoming comments be like “The devs stated that there are no more civs to be added”.

he already knows that, this to me is more speculation and for fun then actually asking if this will happen.
@Juggernaut8704 are those populations as they stand today or is that from back when they were in aoe2 era?

The following is a list of contemporary ethnic groups. There has been constant debate over the classification of ethnic groups. Membership of an ethnic group tends to be associated with shared ancestry, history, homeland, language or dialect and cultural heritage; where the term "culture" specifically includes aspects such as religion, mythology and ritual, cuisine, dressing (clothing) style, and other factors.
By the nature of the concept, ethnic groups tend to be divided into subgroups, which ...
Population is as they stand today.
It is hard to find data for american civs, some are near extinct now.

thank you, and very understandable about being hard to find the population of some of them.

My previous poll was moved to the existing new civs thread btw.
What about the Bohemians?

Even if it’s true, here’s to hoping someone makes some custom civs, who knows maybe we even get a"rise of the rajas" type equivalents in the future…

The best thing would probably be a Forgotten/The Conquerors approach if they every plan to add new civs.
Take a DLC featuring Iroquois, Kongolese, Mapuche, Siamese and Tamils and you would have a great expansion. Only issue is that it might require 2 or more different new architecture sets but with a price tag similar to the previous DLC and the value of AOE2:DE overall it would be fair I guess. They’ve basically made three new architecture sets for it.

I have not counted how many civi are africans but I guess that if the age need New civi have to meso americans because there are only three
both africa and america have 3 civilizations (Africa is Berbers, Ethiopians, Malians) and (Americas is Aztecs, Incas, Mayans).

Just a correction: Cherokee and Iroqouis are the same civilization, Cherokee is one of the tribes of the Federation.

The Cherokees and the Iroquois seperated 3000-4000 years ago. I do think Cherookee would be the best 4th North American civilization after the Iroquois, Pueblos and Mississippians
I think the Vandal civilization should cover the Alans, their UU would be the Alan Horseman

Sounds interesting. They could have the same archtitecture with Polynesians and Caribs.

Not in the Middle Ages, which is where AoE2 goes to.
The best chance for Cherokee, would be on an Iroquois umbrella.
If I had to choose 4 North-Am civs, I would go with:
-Mississipians (Defensive and Gunpowder civ)
-Iroquois (Infantry and Monk civ)
-Tarascans (American Cavalry civ)
-Pueblo (Defensive and Economic civ)
Though, to be honest, I would just go with 3 civs for North-Am, just like we have 3 for Meso and South-Am.

Tarascans are in Middle America and didnt use horses https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarascan_state
and I wouldnt give Mississippians gunpowder
Tarascans would be an Archer civ
Mississippians would be an Infantry civ
Pueblo would be a Defensive civ
Iroquois would be a Defensive and Infantry civ
