What do you think the civs will be

[Sheph]

@Kingfisher1787

working would be Poland and Persia. I think a lot of people like the European civs and a lot of people want non-European civs (don’t shoot the message please, it’s just the way things are).

Both had contact with the Ottoman Empire (as far as I’m aware) and so that could tie them together a bit. Poland could be a fairly vanilla cavalry civ with Winged Hussars and Persia could have some less vanilla mechanics.

I think Poland and Persia have been two of the longest requested civs, or at least probably the most popular two (even if from different parts of the player base). Putting them together would (in my non professional opinion) result in a fairly high buy rate compared to curtain other sets. If you go for two European civs I think a curtain group of people are just unlikely to buy it. But if you go for two civs with very unique mechanics I think another part of the player base will be put off.

Pairing them would seem to me like a good way to keep everyone happy. People might buy it for Poland and get Persia or for Persia and get Poland, but theoretically that means lots of people are buying it?

Anyway, just my 2 cents. We’ll probably get two from the same region like most other expansions have been.

Who is requesting Persia? People from Iran are unable to access and purchase the game legally without VPNs. It’s would be a way for a developer to shoot themselves in the foot.

Why do people insist you have to be from a certain region to play that civ? Not everyone is a fanatic jingoist.

Persia is hugely popular all over the world.

Persia is an ancient civilization that butted heads with the Romans and still lives on to this day…
But nah, I can not imagine how people outside of Iran could be interested in one of the most persistent civilizations in history…

A complete rework to Germany as an addition would not be bad at all

What do you think the civs will be?

I think they are going to add Brazil and Gran Colombia.

The civilizations that I would like to see added are: Argentines, Great Colombians, Brazilians, Peruvians, Chileans, Mapuche, Guaraní, Tehuelche and Tupi.

Absolutely.

Players from all over the world like the idea of an AOE3 Persia due to the fact that:

1. The continuity from AOEII and their representation of Persia.
2. It was one of the ‘Gunpowder’ civs - they were a large, extenstive empire with a military to match and were of significance during the whole time span.
3. It’s another more exotic, brand new civ over a European one (no disrespect epect to Euro civs!).

I am

[Adribird90]

Maybe Asian civs? Corea, Persia…

[SirBarnzy1]

I will eat my hat if it doesn’t include Persia.

It will be interesting if we get civs that fit into the current civ regions/age-up mechanics or if we get a brand new system.

quick reminder of all the black spots we have left on the map. i hope for more asian maps + natives and think europe is quite full already.

maybe persia + siam?

but i’m happy with all

Any way I can get a bigger version of this image? It looks really nice but the current resolution makes it nigh unreadable

[vanBladdeck]

ty ^^ its part of this thread

Let's build a world map of AoE3

[15 08 2023 III] (high resolution: Imgur: The magic of the Internet) also updated with wales and the previously missing maps (silk road, plymouth, central plain…) after revisiting my old map, i think you (@PersiasRerising ) were correct about the area between mongolia, central asia, hymalayas so i corrected it aswell if you guys have any wishes, let me know and of course tell me if you find mistakes^^

Gran Colombia

Gran Columbia is not a civilization. It’s merely the name of a short lived state. When will people understand?

They understand it, they just don’t care. Also the reason I think Gran Colombia will be added is because it seems to be more popular among Europeans.

PS: To all non-Europeans, which South American civilizations do you find most interesting?

[M00Z1LLA]

Mapuche and Guarani.

[MyPersia]

Safavid , Afsharid ?

[Jonasnee8581]

South and Central America are really underrepresented as well. I think thematic DLCs could be a chance to add more maps to America and Asia. That and splitting big regions (namely Siberia, Andes, Amazonia, Mexico, India and China) into more maps.

For America, maybe we could get 2 native civs or 1 native + 1 former colony. And if at least 3 to 4 maps were added to the Central America region, Mayas and Zapotecs could be removed from Andes, Amazonia and Orinoco.
