Why is there no any update? There are still so many parts of this game need polishing. 
I don’t think we have to have a new dlc but this game should be polished to perfection.

Yup, because of World’s Edge.
Even a weeny little patch is too much to ask for them. Go buy yourself some Variant Civs for AOEIV instead to cheer yourself up! W.E. will thank you for it buy releasing more lazy content.

No, there’s no hope. They don’t even consider the game canon.
I can understand that WE doesn’t like the game; we don’t all have to like the same things. But deliberately damaging and decimating it is simply shameful.

No, there’s no hope. Many bugs remain unfixed, and much that should have been improved is still missing. Players have done their best to maintain the community, while World’s Edge only promotes their Age of Empires IV and continues to release their variant nations to make money.

It’s kinda suck that at the beginning they were trying to convince us for the Denmark and Poland civs. The suspicion comes since they only gives us the flag only, without any in-game footage and so on. What a disgrace!

Yes, but it makes sense. Most of the developers are modders for Age of Empires II, and AoE III was a game that was always awkward for Microsoft and World Edge. They made Age of Empires III DE simply out of obligation before the release of Age of Empires IV, to see if it would finally be marketable. They poured all of 2021 and 2022 into it, but as soon as Knights of the Mediterranean was released, they focused entirely on Retold. The Baltic DLC was just to announce something for Age of Empires III DE, but it never actually existed, and only basic ideas existed like Poland focused on cavalry and Denmark focused on navy. But since Retold was dying, they simply disconnected the life support for Age of Empires III DE and focused on Retold. If they ever return to Age of Empires III DE, who knows, but for now they’ll only focus on Retold and Age of Empires IV. If Age of Empires V or VI is colonial again, we can consider Age of Empires III DE definitively dead…
Yes, that’s where we should have raised the alarm, but since we weren’t expecting anything, we were happy and focused on debating the civilizations instead of complaining that they didn’t show a single picture of the Poles or the Danes… at least we know that if they ever return to 3DE or another remaster of the third installment, we’ll finally have the Poles and the Danes…
Worlds Edge y Microsoft no solo no les gusta el juego
Lo odian con toda su alma!

Objectively it departures pretty much from the core gameplay of previous entries. This is understandable, BUT is another game in the series and truly deserves the support, the appreciation!
Como puse en mi comentario anterior. Es una mezcla de razones, Politicas, Financieras y de Jugabilidad con respecto a los anteriores juegos de la franquicia.
Exactly!
I saw a lot of people getting off board the game when DE was released and brought the obnoxious political correctness
Another one happened when they re-released the Free Trial version!
Sí,pobre AoE 3…todas las malas cosas le pasaron sin quererlo…lo mismo AoE 1,pero bueno,al menos ahora vive dentro de AoE 2…
Yes, it’s like in trying to please the rest of the players, or new players, they ended up alienating the classic players of the game…Anyway, for that moment, I wasn’t even playing 3DE anymore, I was playing AoM EE, AoEO and the hundreds of DLCs for 2DE…

Lo peor que la empresa que ahora lo destesta es la misma que lo publicó. Atrás quedaron esos gloriosos años de Ensemble Estudios
Como lei una vez un comentario en un video de Mayorcete sobre el estado del juego.
“La compañia le tiene miedo al éxito con grandes fallos
- Los últimos DLCs de AOE 2 debieron ser para AOE 1.
- AOE 4 debió tratarse sobre la Edad Contemporánea.
- Los DLCs de AOE 3 deben salir dos veces al año, no una vez cada dos años a las justas.
- Las campañas de AOE 3 debieron ser sobre hechos históricos, no sobre una familia mítica.”
Sí, desde 2005 siempre tomaron malas decisiones con AoE 3 y obvio ahora más con los DE (y el 4 con las variantes)…sobre las campañas de AoE 3, Sandy Petersen dijo que no le gustaba las campañas ficticias del juego base, pero como él no estaba a cargo del juego base, sino de The Warchiefs, no pudo hacer nada al respecto…Tras la salida del juego y el tibio recibimiento, a Sandy le tocó levantar el juego con The Warchiefs (de ahí que las campañas Fuego y Sombra fueran más históricas (Revolución Estadounidense y Guerras contra los Sioux); después todo Ensemble se metió en el desarrollo de Halo Wars y el desarrollo de The Asian Dynasties quedó a cargo de Big Huge Games, de ahí que fuera toda una locura las civs y que la campaña china volviera a ser ficticia (aunque basada en los viajes de Zheng He)…

the China civ and campaign is a big mistake in AOE3. Because some Chinese players love Ming and hate Qing, some love Qing and hate Ming, and some hate both Ming and Qing. You can’t find a Chinese love both Ming and Qing, but they mix Ming and Qing to a single civ, and make Zheng He to be a Qing man.
So this game really can’t be more famous in China.
I don’t believe China is a big mistake as a civ. Civs just cover that geographic power during the time. The British civ, for example, covers pre-unification and post-unification countries within the British Isles (though mainly English-focused, as the most dominant power) and includes are the dynasties/houses, rather being based on one.
Yes Ottoman is your odd one, however the Ottoman Empire existed before the start of AOE3 right through to the end - so it gets away with it,
Qing and Ming both have place in the civ as they both ruled at one point over China. I think the only mistakes are that there should have been unit upgrades that progress aesthetically from one dynasty to another and that ‘novelty’ items (like flamethrower) should have been less ‘mystical East’ and more fitting as to what was actually used in the time frame - but that’s the tip of a well-discussed iceberg

Exactly…that’s how it is. China in AoE 3 covers both the Ming and Qinq dynasties (i.e., 1368-1912), so it’s kind of strange that it’s a mix of Ming and Qinq units, but it’s for gameplay reasons. What it really lacked was Qinq skins for units from Fortresses to Imperial Age…

If support returns as a patch but there’s still no news about the Baltic DLC, then regardless of personal preferences for the civs, we as a community should push World’s Edge to honor their promise and release the DLC.
This isn’t about being greedy, but about holding World’s Edge accountable. Announcing a DLC at a major AoE event and then cancelling it just eight months later is unacceptable.
World’s Edge can make use of the leftover budget from this year’s IV’s DLC variant slop.

World’s edge is the biggest scam team seen in game making history.
