I am so sick of seeing everyone complain, complain, complain about the DLC. Nothing but complain. If you don’t like the DLC, don’t buy it. Don’t ruin the experience for those of us who actually like it.
Your complaining is going to change nothing, so all you’re doing is annoying people.
Don’t worry, I won’t, not after the dissapointment of adding Romans within AoE2’s timeframe.
POTW - Post of the week.
If it’s an enemy faction for 2 of the campaigns, why shouldn’t it be a civ itself?
Thx you.
Big thing that a lot of haters are ignoring:
Romans arent avaliable on MP ranked. (I wont care either)
My only problem with this DLC is the lack of discount for AoE I DE users.
Wait what? Really? Imo thats reeally dumb
Thank you, BTW congratulations #54 
I know Im just complaining but we already hace a Roman civ. And I dont buy how these two are diferent civilizations
You have Western Roman Empire & Eastern Roman Empire in the first Alaric scenario.
The Romans spoke Latin, while the Byzantines spoke Greek. Of course, the original devs completely forgot that and made the Byzantines speak Latin, which muddles the comparison.
The Byzantines started speaking Greek in 610 (introduced as official language, complicated story) before that they spoke Latin, why? because they were the Romans, they were the medieval romans.
Yes, the original devs made a mistake, but their mistake doesn’t make Greek-speaking Byzantines any less medieval romans.
Yes, and we have multiple players playing as the diferent parts of the crusader military in Saladin 1 and 2 do we need diferent civs for each of them? The west and east division was administrative
A lot of Romans spoke a lot of diferent labguages, Romans are a multiethnic civilization
Well you have civs that cover each of the factions in Saladin. The Western & Eastern Roman ones are competing factions in the campaigns, not duplicates of each other. They changed cataphracts & champions in Atilla 4 to centurions & legionaries which are now the UUs of the Romans AOE2 civ.
Wrong, in the eastern empire people always spoke greek. Latin was the ceremonial language until 629 And the coinage one until Leo III. Culturally they’re not the same thing and since aoe2 based its civs on ethnicity this would be enough.
Anyway since this game is more about the military than the culture to me the selling point of having aoe2 Romans is that the Roman army between Diocletian and Heraclius was it’s thing, not classical anymore, not Byzantine yet.
When the argument for Romans being doferent is “the Byzantines changed over time”, well, thats a weak argument. The Byzantines at some point had the same army as the late romans. Latin was used in the administration abd court I believe, and in feneral the Roman empire had a lot of languages used all over the place but they were still the same civilization and shared a lot of culture
We cant represent every stage of every civilization. Chinese are represemted by a single civ despite the Tang being diferent from the Song who were also doferent from the Ming
I really don’t get your point to be honest. Byzantines wouldn’t use legionnaires you have in game while late Romans wouldn’t have greek fire for example… Do you prefer having Rome as renamed byzantines making centurions via trigger in Alaric? Or fighting Italians in Tariq? I don’t see a problem in adding variety as long as it is historically accurate.
I can’t speak for Chinese since I don’t know them enough but I don’t see anything wrong in splitting them if history allows you to (and even by a superficial view it seems the case). I imagine Gengis khan 3 being a lot more intriguing this way instead of fighting the same civ 4 times. So if there’s space why not? I’d do something similar for Franks and Spanish.
Shameless consoomers deserve to be called out for their corporate apologism. This mentality more than any other is the reason that bad games/bad content happens.
Complaining about things, that aren’t even out yet is kind of the meta these days.
What??? We have over 70 discussions on this DLC and NOW you are telling me is not going to change anything??? Please tell me it isn’t so. (Sarcasm) 
Preach Brother, Preach!!!
