Just like everyone else, I do not like how the state of the DLC is either. The developers missed the opportunity to put the Three Kingdoms into Chronicles. Like what were they thinking? The Three Kingdoms don’t belong in AoE2 because that’s too anachronistic to be the case. The Three Kingdoms should be in Chronicles instead because that would make more sense since that game mode is set in antiquity (which is where Chronicles is also set during). Also, Tangurts should be a seperate civ from the Khitans and NOT be combined with them because it just doesn’t make sense to merge them into one. So, what’s going to need to happen is that the Three Kingdoms is moved to the Chronicles while the Jurchens and Khitans stay in the base game, and we see the Tangurts get added.
- Chronicles is essentially a different game by a different developer. They should be able to choose what belongs there and not Forgotten Empires.
- Making the same thread 10 times won’t make it more likely that the developers listen to us.
This user made the best suggestion:
What if : AOE2DE: Legend of Three Kingdoms
Don’t make them part of Chronicles, add a new spin off called “Legends” for all the less historical civilisations where every civ has heroes.
They don’t know what to do with the game.
They are doing experiments here and there. Ror, chronicles, V&V and now it’s basically V&V2.
Stop trying to add things that belong to aoe1; stop experimenting and adding stuff that could very well be a different game mode like the other dlcs or its own game for that matter. If they like aoe1 so much, just revive that game that was your past failure. If they don’t want to, then create a new game. It doesn’t make sense to add it to the base game.
RoR is just AoE1 being ported over to the new Engine.
Chronicles is basically it’s own game just using the AoE2 Engine too. It’s kind of “just” a payed mod.
Yes, that’s my point. They are adding stuff that, all in all, shouldn’t be here.
Maybe I’m alone in this but for me the Chronicles DLC had been the best thing added to the game for a while, having it in the base game doesn’t really hurt anyone does it?
I disagree, I think it should be there.
RoR made AoE1 playable.
Chronicles gave a nice new experience.
Why not? Especially Chronicles since it’s made by a different team so it doesn’t take away capacity from normal AoE content.
And it’s certainly a lot easier then to make a new AoE5 from scratch.
Yes, I said that. They are fine because they are in different modes. NOT in the base game. I wrote that:
oh ok sorry, then we agree that the 3 Kingdoms should be their own Spin Off.
Do you mean adding the Spartans, Athenians and Achaemenids to ranked? Or just that BfG is added to a bundle?
Not necessarily but it’s still really weird why the “DLC” (mod) exists at all. But it’s still significantly better than what they are doing with 3k.
I actually don’t like chronicles BfG that much, because I see what is happening now with 3k as a direct result of that, and it was a serious concern of mine at the time. But I will say, this whole 3k situation is making BfG look like a masterpiece by comparison.
In a perfect world I would wish neither BfG or 3k exists for this game (but maybe their own standalone game), but if they do have to be part of aoe2, please keep them separate like BfG currently is.
I meant as it is, having access to those Civs for custom games, having the visual assets available for the editor.
We’ve already seen some of the visual assets created for BFG used in AOK campaigns, I consider that a positive and why it would be a shame had it been a standalone game.
I’m not talking about ranked, that is not my interest. If people want the 3k civs out of ranked that is fine by me.
