Thank you So Much Devs for Three Kingdoms

That is something to be encouraged. One has to look at Age of Empires 2 objectively. We have a full cast of civs from Europe and, so far, practically nothing from China, which, historically speaking, is completely out of place, as China’s history is rich enough, to represent it.

Objectively speaking, it makes no sense to speak of the Middle Ages outside the European context. Because the definition of the Middle Ages originated with the Italian humanists in the 14th century to refer to the whole period when classical culture had been forgotten. So roughly: 400-1500 AD. Whether you like it or not, it is the basis on which the videgame was built.

@RealMatrim2

Ican not agree with the fact, that many players criticize the Late Antiquity as a time frame. Because the time frame for the game begins in the Late Antiquity. Look at the Goths, Huns and Romans, that is, where it starts.

In this context, therefore, it makes no sense to include the 3 Kingdoms in the base game, because they make two mistakes:

• do not show the rest of the world (outside Europe) during the historical period mentioned;
• show neither how the Middle Ages began nor why they ended.

I don’t want to dwell too much on this, so rather: post.

@RealMatrim2

Therefore, in the next upcoming 1 to 3 DLCs, I hope, to add another 5 to 10 bundled civs from the Chinese state. Bigger ethnic minorities can, of course, also be taken into this.

5-10 seems excessive to me, having 3 of them done well instead of these 3 that have raised so much controversy already seems like a huge step forward.

I also can not understand the criticism that Victors and Vanquished is so bad in the eyes of many players here in the forum.

On Steam it is received even worse
