Direct Request – Brazil Civilization (18th and 19th Centuries) in AoE3DE 
Hello everyone,
First of all, congratulations on the amazing work in the Age of Pirates mod! It’s impressive how much the community has grown thanks to the dedication of people like you, who keep Age of Empires III alive and full of new content.
I would like to make a sincere and respectful request: the inclusion of the Brazil civilization, focused on the 18th and 19th centuries — a historically rich period marked by conflicts, political transformations, and a unique military identity.
I’m not a modder, and I don’t know anything about the technical side. My contribution is with historical research, ideas, and real content gathering — all of which I’d be glad to share to help collaboratively.
Although the WoL mod already includes some Brazilian-related elements, I think it would be a great idea to ask for permission to reuse some of their data where appropriate.
Also, I don’t agree with the idea of using enslaved workers — that belongs to the period under Portuguese domination, before Brazil achieved independence. After that, the path toward the abolition of slavery began.
Here are some structured suggestions that could serve as a base:
Unique military units (18th and 19th centuries):
- Voluntários da Pátria (light infantry)
- Caçadores (regular infantry)
- Line Infantry (heavy musketeer-type infantry)
- Lanceiros Negros (light cavalry)
- Dragões da Independência (Imperial heavy cavalry)
Home City cards based on real historical events:
- “Abolition of Slavery”
- “Paraguayan War Campaign”
- “Reforms of Duke of Caxias”
- “National Guard”
Brazilian economy adapted to gameplay:
- Sugarcane plantations and cattle ranching (produce food; like how the Inca use llamas, Brazil could use cattle)
- Gold and iron mining
- Coffee (a commercial resource, possibly handled via the Coin Mint)
Cultural and mechanical elements:
- Alliances with Portuguese, American, and British powers
- Age-up political system: Imperial Monarchy vs. Liberal Republic
- Native allies: Tupi, already in the game
If this idea is of interest, I would be very happy to collaborate however I can — with historical sources, real troop names, card drafts, and gameplay suggestions based on documentation.
Thank you so much for keeping the flame alive! It would be an honor to see Brazil well represented in the world of AoE3DE.
With respect and enthusiasm,
From a fan of AoE3DE and Brazilian history

Yep, exactly. Age of Pirates has too small team for something like that right now - at least if we want to maintain the quality you got used to. But World Expo mod added Argentina and Chile. I don’t know if they plan to add Brazil too, but reusing some game principles from these new civs would absolutely make sense. So I recommend you to ask them.
For those who would like to help us to grow and possibly add some new civs in the future: We’re still hiring. You don’t have to be professional 3D Modeler or AI developer to join us. If you know how to edit basic XML or how to create a map in the editor and use basic triggers, it’s absolutely good enough. What we need is a passion and we’ll be happy to help you with the rest.

Make sure y’all try out the new historical maps as well as the dev ones! (We’ve added AI support to those as well so they should play a bit better)
Oh and remember you can always add a handicap to the AI if a particular map seems to easy. Those attack/defend maps are very weird to balance.
