Malians- one of the richest empires in the medieval world, centre of Muslim learning and scholarship (Timbuktu was a well-known city in the Middle-Ages).
Ethiopia- Christian nation with a local dynasty that was one of the founding members of the league of Nations (post WW1) and resisted European colonization and Ottoman expansion both. It was annexed by Mussolini’s Italy in the 1930s. Prior to that (as Abyssinia) it existed as an independent country since the fall of the Roman Empire.
Saxons were quite different from Goths indeed, but they are closer to AoE2’s Goths than historical Goths were. The heavy focus on infantry wasn’t really a Goth thing, Eastern Germanic peoples generally relied more on cavalry than their Western and Nothern cousins, and huskarls are definitely a Saxon thing.
I can’t believe you said that. I don’t mean to be rude but I suggest to watch some videos or smth about african empires. You might take a surprise.
They closely matched the military and social advancements of Europe and Asia, for most of the Middle Ages. They only started falling short at the end of the period, when Europe went through the Renaissance.
You should read some History books.
Heck, Ethiopia was never even successfully colonized, which means they maintained a level of social and military discipline that afforded them the chance to successfully fight back attempts to do so.
That was Algirdas, not Vytautas 
I made a scenario about it btw which you can find in the workshop. 
and its a great scenario (but come on, you and @PhillySouljah always do good work). but i would like something not only official, but an entire campaign!.
Lithuanians are literally the only civ in the game without at least a battle of the conquerors or whatever its called.
That gives hope for more dlcs and civis,maybe they are planning polish and a full campaign on the northern crusades.
Exactly the last civ not to get any official campaign or even a historical battle. Lithuanians definitely should get campaigns, I just read their history one of the richest in terms of medieval war. They fought both Teutons and Mongols.
They fought with pretty much everyone around them.teutons vikings slaves turks mongols list goes on.
Wth they even fought vikings?
Vikings raider baltic countries and actively participated in northern crusades too.
We urge want a Lithuanians campaign,36 civs in 37 civs have campaigns,is it strange?Lithuanians is an abandoned child in aoe2de.
No. Mayans, Chinese, Persians, Koreans, Japanese and Turks still have no campaigns either.
Not every civ has a campaign yet, so “36 in 37” is either complete ignorance or a horrible lie meant to stir up controversy.
36 out of 37 do have some sort of single player battle or campaign though.
A single Historical Battle is not a Campaign, however.
Vikings also do not have a Campaign, while some civs have a full Campaign and Historical Battles too, like the Spanish.
Spanish don’t even have their full campaign to themselves though. they literally split it with Saracens.
Maybe the next expansion is slavic themed and we finally get a lithuanian campaign?
Kinda hope that we go outside of Europe first.
It will be slavic themed. Look at the Polish crybabies of the Steam forum.
I suggested this old concept of mine for a potential new civ, the Venetian Republic
By any means I think that they should take priority over other civs (especially cultures and regions not covered), but still they may be a nice addition. And if they’ll be never introduced, those bonuses may be given to another civ…
