The diversity in civ choices is poor

“known world”

Depends on your perspective. The known world of an Aztec is different to a Burgundian one. It’s kinda sad that we always have to wait for expansion packs to get the other perspectives.

But you also have very niche requirements. What you like and what the general audience expects/likes aren’t the same thing. It makes sense to include England and France, because it’s basically the most expected thing ever for a medieval game like this one. So not including them would be very weird for the general audience, and probably bring less benefit even if they manage to tailor well to some more niche players.

As @BossPaprika1647 pointed out, the 100 years war is very famous, it’s the thing that initially draws many people towards history in the first place. And yes, a lot of people do just expect to see your “standard” English/French Castles, Knights and what not.

It’s your POV vs mine. As long as you can’t prove that people want more European civs than other civs in general, both POV are valid. There’s a lot of people e.g. that are dissappointed that Aztecs are not part of the base game as the existence of this mere thread proves:

Adding Aztecs for AOE4

So basically, what if they made the Aztecs into a “stealthy” or “ambush” civlization in AOE4?? [Aztecas (Mexicas) Envisten a Tlaxcaltecas y Españoles] Seing as how units can now hide in trees like shown in the old gameplay trailer, they could be weaker in terms of HP but faster, maybe give them some bonus like attacking faster while hiding in the tree’s or something, it sounds fun and based [image] [image]
