Some DLC concepts with the same pattern as LotW and DotD

Age of Empires II: DE II - Discussion

Again, why are you telling me this?

143

Sipahi is already an UT for Turks. If you give them “special” Knights, then you will have to give even better Heavy Cavalry units to a whole lot of other civs, which had much better Heavy Cavalry than the Turks ever did.

The Turks are fine as they are.

He’s not talking from a historical perspective. He means the best civilizations in-game. The Indians are the only obvious exclusion from that list


145

I agree with what you said, that doesnt make what I said before that wrong. You didnt explain why what I said was wrong

146

It should work as a organ gun of the sea, since it was a tanky ships with a lot of cannons in every direction.

They did not do that even for the Caravel, which actually was the “Gun Battery of the Sea” in real History.

Sorry what? I didn’t understand.

149

They gave the Caravel a Ballista Bolt attack, instead of a continuous, long-ranged Swivvel Gun bombardment attack. If they did not even give the Caravel, the first full gunpowder boat in History, a repeating Organ Gun attack, they would likely never give it to the Galleass either.

150

Ahh ok, now I get it.

Yeah you are right on this,I know that an “organ gun warship” wouldn’t be that accurate, but it would be the closest, balanced an most unique thing that they could do if they would ever implement the galeass, at least in my opinion.

Thats why I see the gally as the monk ship thats the one we dont have yet.maybe uu ship can be trained by allies like the condoterri.

152

But it doesn’t make sense
 it would be a random bonus since it wasn’t a boarding ship.

153

None of the other ships makes sense too.

154

I think the campaigns for this one could feature the Kings of West Africa scenarios that filthydelphia made that apparently were going to be added into African Kingdoms. It would be cool if there were also added as historical battles

Here I disagree with this choice. If they go new world civs, it has to be Chimu/Mapuche + a North American first nations civ

155

I would like those too, but they would clash with the Meso set IMO, especially a civ like Mississippians.

156

I think if we have civs that encompass many subcultures (notably: Indians, Celts and Italians) we could have a civ that encompasses all civs from a certain region, like “Laurentian/Apalacchian/Cascadian/Great Lakes”. That way we could conceive of a North American civ but not pin it on any one time period. But that would be controversial for many in the community, no doubt.

157

I mean more in terms of architecture. If we should get a North American, I would love it if the buildings would look like this:

mississippian_architecture_set___age_of_empires_2_by_kondrikthus_d5lj453-fullview
mississippian_architecture_set___age_of_empires_2_by_kondrikthus_d5lj453-fullview1280×2368 338 KB

which would in turn look like this ingame (Credits: Omarr_gg)

I would simply call them something specific and then apply a rather broad design. The best case would be something like 3-4 new civs using the set with maybe a new regional unit.

I am thinking of a steppe lancer type medium cavalry I guess.

159

honestly, if there is no civ limit then i would like to have 3 expansions based on south asia

  1. Sultans of the South
    Bengals and Afghans
    +Persian Campaign
  2. Kings of the Coast
    Tamils and Oriya
    +Japanese campaign
  3. Heroes of Hindustan
    Hindustani and Deccani
    Not sure what campaign could go here that fits the name

Add in a siamese civ a different expansion and that’s 4 expansions i’d buy

Siam and tibet has very different buddhisms.

I like this name but not the civilization choices.
