Pretty sure all that could be said was said about the pup. Unless they bring in new changes, there’s not much to say.
I have the game and I checked and they are Ottomans and Knights of Saint John…
Anything can be, plus this would allow future expansions for AoE 1 DE and AoMR…
More historical scenarios and campaigns. That’s an easier way to keep the game interesting with relatively fewer efforts.
Reminder that a large number of civs are still not playable in campaigns.
Unlike in AOE2DE they are trying to give all civs, even the oldest ones, a campaign of their own.
And AOE3’s time period had some of the most important events in human history.

Only the civs of Sweden, Incas, Italy and Malta are not playable in campaigns or historical battles (Hausa, Ethiopians, USA and Mexico are playable in their respective historical battles)…
The Portuguese and Dutch are the only civs from the original game that do not appear in the campaigns, but the Portuguese are playable and antagonistic in the historical battles of Cristopher Da Gama and the Battle of the Three Kings and the Dutch are playable in the third art of war mission…

I wouldn’t say John Black’s mercenary is German. I’d like a scenario with the actual German civ.
And the most part of the campaigns are not historical. I prefer more historical scenarios/campaigns covering the important historical events of those civs.

They are not German, per se… only the units… the Circle of Osseus is German, or at least the architecture…And yet you have the Hessian mercenaries in Nathaniel’s campaign…
Austrians civ (currently called Germans civ) and Prussians civ - these two civs could appear in dozens of potential scenarios, including those in which they would face each other such as Silesian Wars.
It would be beautiful to have real campaigns based on such wars as the Napoleonic Wars and the Thirty Years’ War, where not dividing the Germans umbrella civ would be a terrible thing.

This is still not any representation of the Germans…
This is a completely contrived non-historical faction that was based in part on civ Germans but also on civ Brits. Calling it campaign participation is baseless.
BTW. The Hessians could be represented by the Prussians civ as an option of their unique Age Up (like USA) - choice of Hessian state.
Well, you have the historical maps, right?..and they already said that they were not going to divide the Germans…
Well, but so far, they are being represented by the Germans…
So you agree with me. Doesn’t seem to be any argument there.
Still waiting for the Ports rework!

I think this depends on the version.
In the AoE 3 Mobile Edition are two civs:Ottomans and Knights of St. John (the homecity is London like the PC version)…in the AoE 3 TAD Mobile Edition are two civs:Japanese and Koreans (similar to Chinese)…

Yes, the phone vibrated with the firing of the cannons and the towers. XD
Hey, I had an update to AoE 3 on Steam, but there was no patch note. I regret not taking a screenshot…
Anyone also got an update of AoE 3 today???
Yes new patch is out, but no notes yet.

I launched the game for a while and I didn’t notice any changes (I mean the event). Even the game polonization mod worked.
Is there a chance that they will activate an event in the game in a while???
