This would still allow crossplay the same way how we can now play against Chronicles Civs.
The new “Late Antiquity” set could contain existing civilisations like the Romans or Huns.
Just split the DLC into 3 Kingdoms and a separate one which includes only Jurchen and Khitans.
And make the second DLC cheaper as it doesn’t have any campaigns.
All votes are for moving thrm to Chronicles besides one person who wants them to be removed entirely.
I did not expect the poll to be that one sided.
Maybe it’ll change a little over time, we’ll see.
They originally advertised Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings with the phrase “Rome has fallen and the world is up for grabs,” so no civilization before 476 should have been added.
Its not even Chronicles civs. It totally its realm of things. It is Three Kingdoms Civset itself
Also Romans itself should never have been a ranked Medieval civs. I hope it gets changed to Chronicles style or become as suggested Late Antiquity. Late Antiquity itself has huge potential. Imagine Sassanids, Tangs, Rashiduns-Umayyads, Goths, Huns, Late Romans in its own civ brackets. They themselves have unique UU drips to cover.
And please give Chinese (the real ones!), Jurchens and Khitans campaigns!
It does make sense to have all relevant and fitting civilizations in their respective game modes according to their location in time, as it is immersion breaking to have everything mixed up.
这个DLC应该是 编年史 - 三国
This DLC should be Chronicles - Three Kingdoms
On the second thought, 3K civs should be added to RoR ranked. They still lack uniqueness than other Chronicle civs, no unique architecture arts, no totally independent unit lines.
RoR is an entirely different game that doesn’t even have the concept of a unique unit or unique technology at all.
Since they were emerged into AoE2, it won’t be difficult to add some.
AoE4 was a game without any hero unit before Jean’d Arc and so does AoE2 before 3K civs.
If they added 3K civs to RoR:
Timeframe - fitted
Art design - fitted
Ranked Game - fitted
但他们只看了《三国演义》，看的还是新三国电视剧
The 3 civs should be moved to a Chronicles style campaign. I hope WE does do so.
Well, the Attila campaign begun at circa 435 AD and it is considered as canonical one. Later, 2 years ago, (Western) Roman Empire playable civ was added. It does not suit what u’ve written above.
IMHO, there is no significant difference between Hunnic and Cuman tech tree historically.
I assume you mean it doesn’t suit what they had promised before.
Adding Huns was just for the cash grab.
Yes move the 3K to Chronicles. And release a later and separate DLC splitting the Khitans to Khitans and Tanguts, adding Tibetans and maybe something more from the sino-sphere. Make the DLC contain campaigns for Chinese, Khitans, Tanguts, Tibetans and Koreans. Instant buy from me for both these DLCs from me. As of now I have returned my pre-order and am not planning on buying the content.
the dev team have zero respect for the game and history in general. this clown show needs to be booted out and get some people who care about the core game. its such an easy path to see when it comes to keeping the game pure.
they simply want to ruin it to combine all the gimmick elements they feel will bring more new players. boycott of this dlc is important to send a clear message.
they ignore every bit of feedback from this forum which provides also great civ designs/ideas. they dont give a damn. cysion is total let down and needs to go.
The results of this poll is interesting when you compare it to a similar poll I made about the Chronicles civilisations:
[poll] Should the new civilisations be available in Ranked?
More than 20% wanted them in ranked but over 80% don’t want the 3 Kingdoms.
The Chronicles civs are way farther outside of the timeline and have significantly different game mechanics, especially on water.
Is it the hero units? Or are people currently just in a bad mood and downvote everything?
Its the one two punch: They are not civs, even the game’s promo website calls them ‘‘Forces’’. And the heroes, which go against the core design of aoe2.
