Here’s my take on a wishlist for future additions and updates to AOE2:DE…

NEW CIVILIZATIONS

  • Nubians (Northern Africa)
  • Congolese (Central Africa)
  • Swahili (Southern Africa)
  • Zimbabweans (Southern Africa)
  • Tibetans (Eastern Asia)
  • Mississippians (North America)
  • Anazasi (North America)
  • Hawaiians (Polynesia)
  • Maori (Polynesia)

NEW REAL-WORLD MAPS

  • Nile Valley
  • Southern Africa
  • Congo Basin
  • Tibetan Plateau
  • Eastern North America
  • Western North America
  • Hawaii
  • New Zealand

NEW TERRAIN

  • Bald cypress forest (forest on shallows, similar to mangrove)
  • Saguaro cactus forest
  • Molten lava (impassable terrain; units might suffer HP attrition if they get too close)
  • Rapids (water which damages boats if they cross it)

NEW WILDLIFE

  • Bongo (Huntable with deer AI)
  • Gorilla (Huntable with boar AI)
  • Leopard (Predator)
  • Bison (huntable with deer AI)
  • Moose (huntable with boar AI)
  • Alligator (semiaquatic predator)
  • Emu (huntable with deer AI)
  • Red kangaroo (huntable with boar AI)
  • Dingo (predator)
  • Moa (huntable with deer AI)
  • Kiwi (herdable)
  • Haast’s eagle (aerial predator)
  • Pig (herdable)
  • Great white shark (aquatic predator)
  • Orca (aquatic predator)
  • Sperm whale (aquatic huntable with boar AI; attack with fishing ships)
  • Humpback whale (fishable)

MISCELLANEOUS

  • Different unit appearances for Middle Eastern, African, South and East Asian, Native American, etc. civilizations.
  • Ancient ruins scattered across certain maps which could reward you with resources if you have villagers excavate them.
  • Ninja as a second unique unit for the Japanese.
  • Shaolin as a second unique unit for the Chinese.
  • Replace Maya Plumed Archer with the more historically accurate Atlatl Thrower, which would be like a sort of skirmisher instead of an archer.

I think ships are all one class so the sark might endup attacking everything.

It is already there, right? Check the Bulgarians campaign.

The wolves on the water map, cool.
BUT the fishing boat have no attack ability, so it is totally a disaster.

I remember that It was the dolphin there, but removed for some reasons.
Dolphin
The whale will also have the risk.
If it is allowed, I hope it will be a point of the gold resource.

I agree with everything except I would leave the Maya UU untouched and no water predators too
