The Last Chieftain - My predictions and guesses

White Feather Guard.

Ah, you’re right…

@SMUM15236

Blacksmith is 2x2. This building is clearly 3x3.

So it would be the trade workshop?…

@RatcicleFan

I assume the order from dark ages to feudal would be this (alternatively, each civ has a specific look?)

@AlphaCreator727

I agree with this — that building doesn’t feel like a settlement; it looks more like a trade workshop.

Yes, that makes sense…

@AlphaCreator727

The university looks amazing, but the monastery (if that’s the building in question) feels a bit underwhelming compared to what the new architecture set is showcasing.

Yes, the architecture looks incredible, but some buildings feel strange…

@Estevao9543

Yes, the one in the middle is actually a monastery based on the Temple of the Sun in Cusco.

But they’re Muisca, it would have to resemble a Muisca temple…

@Szaladon

The one thing which confuses me is that the Mapuche seem to have Feudal Age architecture in the promotional screenshot, or is this their Imperial Age architecture? As I can clearly identify their Castle on the left in the middle and the wonder with the Chemamulls on the very right.

Anyway, since the campaign is like that, it could be a bit of everything… I mean, if you have a castle, it’s the Castle Age and you have to defend the marvel even without being in Imperial… I’m looking on Wikipedia to see if Lautaro had to defend any important building in any battle, but I haven’t found anything yet… It could be the Battle of Tucapel in 1553 where Lautaro defeats Pedro de Valdivia, Marihueñu in 1554 where Lautaro defeats Francisco de Villagra, or Mataquito in 1557 on a wooded hill where Villagra kills Lautaro…

@RatcicleFan

They probably just gave each civ’s preview a different age to show off as much as possible while including the castle and wonder through the scenario editor

Sure, maybe…

@AlphaCreator727

Or maybe, the Mapuche don’t advanced to Imperial/Castle Age? (I don’t think so)

Nah, that wouldn’t make sense, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to create their UU and I haven’t seen any stables anywhere… besides, we already saw in another photo that they can build castles, so at least they can reach Castle Age…

[qua_shinz]

Worst ever idea if ever implemented.

[MatM1996]

Yes, in fact, in AoE4 the Mongols were originally only reach to Castle Age, but they scrapped the idea because otherwise the civilization would have been too weak…

The monastery shared between most of these civs has Shinto elements, even though Shinto is an exclusively Japanese religion

The devs added more monastery models, so I don’t understand why they didn’t add a non-Japanese temple or a non-Orthodox model for non-Orthodox civs in the East Euro set.

[UnAutreVoyage]

What about a UT based on coca culture for Muiscas? :’)

Not sure this is the proof you want to use tbh, the current E. Asian architecture has been a sore spot for awhile as it is pretty Japan-centric, and a lot of people including myself want a new Sinitic architecture set.

Hopefully them planning a new Sinitic architecture is why they didn’t make a new monastery for them.

[RatcicleFan]

I want more architecture sets as well, including a more sinitic one. I even pointed that out in the message you quoted. I’m just saying it not fitting Muiscas doesn’t mean they won’t get it.

Oh, sorry, I must’ve missed that part of the conversation. My bad.

[RatcicleFan]

You’re ok.
I really hope we get more.

[SMUM15236]

So who is getting the cheaper Settlement as their civ bonus? I think it will be Muisca as civ description talks about their eco. Here is my predictions on new regional bonuses:

[TheTowerDefender]

you write “fires faster” for the champi warrior. i was under the impression it’s a melee unit?

[SMUM15236]

Yeah, I also think it is a melee unit. How fire faster is giving you different impression?

[TheTowerDefender]

oh, i would have written “attacks faster”, I just thought that you might have found some new information

[RobbieDPL]

If it already exists in III, why didn’t they just call the settlement Tambo or Kancha? Bolas Rider & Blackwood Archer are the same units as the Mapuche & Tupi minor civ trading post units in III too…

[TheTowerDefender]

almost feels like this would fare better as an aoe3 DLC

[SMUM15236]

Ahh. I understand. The stat is called “Rate of Fire”. So I always say " Fire faster". Although “Attack faster” sounds more appropriate.
