Pol for the last 9 civs devs should introduce into the game

[JonOli12]

Sorry, please start again, I screwed up the poll to resolve a typo.

@CheshireWig3203

9 civs would be a massive downgrade

I am assuming the 48 civ limit, so that is why I think 9 is the realistic option.

[FoughtBird1976]

@CheshireWig3203

I personally voted for Swahili, Somalis, Kongolese, Nubians, Tamils, Bengalis, Siamese, Jurchen and Tibetans. I don’t really care which civs will be added from India and Africa because there are too many great options. 9 civs would be a massive downgrade because I didn’t have space to vote for Tongans or Native Americans.

I just picked all the names that sounded either African, American or European.

[CheshireWig3203]

I know that, but it would still be bad. 50 civs would be better.

[TungstenBoar]

I went for the same thing

[Szaladon]

Editing a poll resets it, no matter what you do. You should not edit a poll once it is set up, at least not after a few dozen people voted on it.

If there’s a limit, I would love to see from an European perspective exotic civs next

[CloudAct]

I don’t think he tried to manipulate results and just a few had voted.

[Tropfzahn]

Just please no more European or American civs. And nothing that’s basically a dark age civ but gets all the techs just for balance.

[TungstenBoar]

So rn the 9 civs would be Tamils, Mississippians, Swahili, Tibetans, Kongo, Mapuche, Nubians, Serbians and Somalis

[JonOli12]

We only have 3 American civs, it is the most underepresented continent in the game.

@TungstenBoar

Tamils, Mississippians, Swahili, Tibetans, Kongo, Mapuche, Nubians, Serbians and Somalis

I am surprised by Serbs, and how poorly Tarascans and Iroquois are doing.

[Szaladon]

I don’t get the opposition to American civs. I really like Eagle Warriors and we just have so few civs using those. I would love to see more options, especially considering how they went on in “The Last Khans” and “Lords of the West” to add so many Paladin civs (Cumans, Lithuanians, (Bulgarians), Burgundians)

[TungstenBoar]

Tbh before The Last Khans we had two DLCs in a row without a new Pladin civ and the one before that only had one

[JonOli12]

Yes, but this game has WAY too many Paladin civs. It is no longer a special unit that you get to pay for with the rest of your Tech Tree being bad, like Franks or Teutans had to.

[Szaladon]

@JonOli12

I am surprised by Serbs, and how poorly Tarascans and Iroquois are doing.

A poll is not conclusive with small sample sizes. You’ll have to wait at least a week or so until a minimum of 100 people voted on this. It also is a very biased sample size, considering it will only sample those which are quite active on the forums. Best would be with any AOE poll to directly ask every player, though this is unfeasible from a normalo Forum user position.

[CloudAct]

Couldn’t agree more tbh

[TungstenBoar]

Im honestly not. Theres always people around who just want Euro civs and Tarascans are mostly unknown. Agree on Iroquois though

[JonOli12]

@TungstenBoar

Tarascans are mostly unknown.

I have made a huge effort to remedy this, since they actually fit the game more than Aztecs and Mayans ever did, by virtue of actually having Metal weapons, but to no avail.
I do not think people here are unknowing of them, so much as uninterested.

[Szaladon]

I find it anyway kinda funny that we keep doing the same stuff in regards to new civs over and over again:

The Final 9 (civs)

Hello Age 2 players and new civ discussion maniacs. As you know this forum is full of suggestions for new civs ranging from 4 more slav civs, 7 indian sub continent civs, 8 different african civs, north american civs, polynesians, inuit. Pretty much anything that one could imagine. While most of us love seeing more content and civs in the game we understand there is some limit of bonuces, unique units and techs that can be added for the civs to feel different while keeping the feel of the game.…

[Polls] On regards to new civs

I’ve tried to be as unbiased as possible. There’s also an option for no more new civs for those who like to vote that way. I’ve written a civ next to a region which already features one so that people get an idea what I mean with each. Civs from which regions would you like to see? poll This second polls asks generally speaking about what you think should be the approach in regards for new civs. The second option “We have enough for now” can basically also mean “I don’t care either”. poll pol…

Future DLCs and the argument for/against NEW Civs

Greetings fellow Empire-builders. The recent installment of the Lords of the West, introducing 2 new civs and 3 new campaigns have certainly heightened debate and apprehension among many AoE2 gamers on the future of this beloved game that we all love. Discussion ranges from “It is good to add new civs?” to “No more civs!” to “We need new content! It keeps the game going!”…you get the idea. This Post will be outlining my idea on how Age of Empires 2: DE should proceed in my humble opinion. …

New Civs? New CO-OP Mode? Vote now!

One of the most possible solution to end the forum wars between the players who want new civs and those who don’t is to actually have a separate Co-op mode similar to SC2 Co-op Missions. I know this is quite a lengthy post but please kindly read to get the idea for this suggestion and vote accordingly. What is SC2 co-op? [StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void - Co-op Missions Preview] As you have seen the video, Co-op Mission is a collaborative game mode that offers a progressive game…

New Civilisations to diversify old Civilisations

Some ideas for new Civilisations to diversify old Civilisations like the Burgundians are alternative Franks and the Sicilians are alternative Italians. Disclaimer: I think new Civilisations in Africa or North America have higher priority. Also the Ideas are not complete. There can be additional Bonuses. I also don’t specify every missing/available Technology. Alamannia Civilisation to represent Germanic tribes, the Southern Holy Roman Empire and Switzerland. Architecture is Central European …

Brainstormed new Civs: Poles, Bohemians, Georgians

Hail and well met, fellow Empire-builders and Empire-conquerors! The recent announcement of the “Dawn of the Dukes” has gotten me very excited on the [possible] prospect of new civs incoming into Age of Empires 2. SOTL has already put forth his speculation that the new civs are likely to be, but I have come up with what I think are the most likely new civs: Poles, Bohemians, and Georgians. PLEASE NOTE: this is just my own speculation, and is not in any way what really will be included in the…

New Civ concept: the Venetians

So, since we will get new civs, my hope to see a venetian civilization has risen once again. This was an old civ concept of mine, that I designed years ago, but never shared since we had the Italians and because of the DE “no new civs policy”, but since we got the sicilians… I know that there are already many requests for new civs, especially for cultures that weren’t included even a bit, and by any means I mean that this civ should to take precedence. I just want to share my ideas and vision …

New Civ ideas

Although Im not a modder , I know many modders are thinking about adding new civs in the game. Right now you have to replace an existing civ to add new civ in its place, but I think the devs will find a way to let us add new civs without replacing existing civs. In the meantime i wanted to share my own civ ideas with you guys based on the pole - [Poll](Updated) Which civs would you like to see in the game? (All popularly requested civs included) (if you havent voted yet, vote for bengals )…

[Poll](Updated) Which civs would you like to see in the game? (All popularly requested civs included)

Updated the previous list by removing some redundant civs and adding some new ones. Also made a map accompanying the list: [image] Symbols represent the civs already in-game, texts are the new civs being requested (in the list below) Choose the civs that you want to see in Aoe2 (in bracket is the approximate population of the ethnicity today followed by the area of influence of the particular civ, click on it to see the map) poll Please consider sharing this poll to as many friends as possi…

I’m already way too long here XD

Anyway, good night everyone and don’t kill each other on which civ has or has not to be part of this game.

We all love it as much <3

@JonOli12

I am surprised by Serbs

Probably so many upvotes since Balkans are barely represented, if anything by the turko-slavic Bulgarians.

[CheshireWig3203]

Balkans are represented enough.

Byzantines+Slavs+Bulgarians

The small duchies of the Balkans were usually occupied by other people, like the Ottomans, Magyars or even the Venetians.
