I haven’t seen a single thread or poll with crusaders as an option. As for the Dutch, as I said, they are represented by Burgundians, there was no “Dutch” kingdom in medieval times
What would be there to reevaluate? After 5 years, we would’ve covered all other regions of the world so there is nothing to reevaluate, now we go back to Europe, give them a few more civs than go back to other regions and give them more as well
Talking about random people commenting about them and saying they want them honestly.
I know
I just think that in the foreseeable future I dont think we need more euro civs.
I don’t mean to be rude but you find random people as really popular in the community?
That is what I said.
Yes I think that group is larger than what you think sadly
I would like to say it isnt but… I think that the non competitive playerbase are mostly wanting civs like the Crusaders
Personally I don’t see any problem with that. Forum is for everyone and not restricted. It’s not like if someone say that he would like crusaders as civ so Crusaders will be added in next expansion. Well actually none of our ideas for civs anyhow important to developers. They may get insipiration for bonuses or tech tree at best.
When I see new civ threads (and I’ve read a lot of them on here and steam) I haven’t seen a single request for a crusader civ. If it was such a big request I would think I would’ve seen at least by now. I think you are seeing the random crusader requests and magnifying it a lot. I don’t want to get drawn into an argument about semantics, especially since I haven’t argued with you on this forum (it seems everyone argues with everyone at one point or another on this forum)
Yeah it may just be my perception.
Im not talking about people on this forum btw, mostly reddit and the things added as mods to the game
That makes more sense, I don’t read reddit forums
That was my first thought too.
Tbh while I would rather name the civ Polynesians, Tongans are on the list
Polynesians are very vague, and to be honest, I would rather AoE2 civs become much more pinpoint, even if it leaves big holes in the map, that hear the next 5 billion “Why are we covered under this umbrella!!! MS rAcIsT!!!11111” threads.
I think some umbrellas are good honestly.
Like adding all the Tais togheter for example instead of dividing them in two
I prefer umbrellas, if I am honest, but the community wants specific national representation.
I would have been cool if the game had something like this for Europe:
-Iberians
-Italians
-Slavs
-Germanians
-Britons
-Byzantines
But that would also imply Asia would only have:
-Arabs
-Turks
-Chinese
-Japanese
-Hindus
-Khmer
-Persians
At which point many people would start complaining like crazy.
I think two civs in India makes more sense considering theres two unrelated ethnic groups at North and South.
Tbh I would also divide Franks and Germans and I think dividing Slavs in western and Eastern makes sense considering the diferent religions and influences as well as add the Norse
Also you are missing Mongols
Either way a cool idea, but I think you went a bit too far with the oversimplification
No, i know what I said. I would prefer LARGE umbrellas myself, which would mean the Northern Indians, same as the Mongols, Cumans, Huns and other Turk peoples, would all be under Turks.
Norse would be under Germanians, and it would be ALL Germanians, including Franks.
The Afghans are more like Persians honestly
The Bengalis and the Punjabis I was talking about
I would just group them all up in a Hindus umbrella, and call it a day.
Ehh, well lets agree to disagree.
Also arent anglos and saxons germanic as well as the Spanish? It just sounds like it will get messy with western Africa, East and South Asia (Malay, Tibet) and western Europe.
