Dude. I’m a fucking pagan with a direct norse descendance. For one, Scandanavian isn’t an ethnicity, it’s a nationality. Secondly, that has nothing to do with racial profiling. The fuck?
I don’t know what a cuss word pagan is. I am guessing you’re trying to say that it’s okay if someone else says it because you’re not offended by it?
Lol NO!
The native people from Britain were the Picts, and they were not subhumans, they were homo sapiens the same than the celts, just not indo-european like the celts.
But by the time the romans had contact with britain, the people living there were mostly brittonic celts not picts and that’s why they give the name Britania to the island.

I know what you said
I know it is familiar, that doesn’t change the fact that this is a historical game.
No, longbows are easily beaten without mangonels
They should be Norse or Scandinavian, just like Byzantines from AoE2 should be Eastern Roman Empire in AoE4
No, in total. His last match ended 5 hours ago. It is ok that you don’t understand how the website works, I can see why it would be confusing for someone who isn’t used to it

Sorry, i agreed that Longbows not OP with the @GusTank04
But, yes. they OP in feudal age.
Still u can make counter towers. Every Civ have tower. (Counter building).
PS Archers + scouts will work fine in feudal.
And u always can upgrade them in the next ages.
U dont wont to play like these, but u can

Pagans are people who believe in a pantheon of older gods. Like Odin, Thor, Loki, Frey, etc. And no, it’s not offensive at all. Calling someone in the 800s a viking because they’re in Norway isn’t offensive. Nor does it have anything to do with racism, race, or the police. I don’t even know what’s happening with the police overseas, I’m in Ireland.

The Picts didn’t emerge until after the Roman invasion. We don’t know what population preceded the Celts but it likely wasn’t human.
It likely was human.

Okay so even if we assume they are human based on the usage of tools they still weren’t celts or picts.
I can concede that
But my point was that by the times the romans had contact with people living there, those were Brittonic Celts and that’s why the land was named Brittania, the same than Gallia was named that because of the Gauls and Arabia because of the Arabs.
I think this conversation has deviated a lot.
What of the listed civs do you think we will see added soon?
Is there any other civilization that span more than 500 years between the years 700 and 1700 that you want to get included?

The Teutonic Knights
As for the greater topic at hand, I hope this isn’t a concrete direction for them to go. I’d like to see more American nations included in this game, more than the obligatory Inca/Maya/Aztec triumvirate. There’s more to the Americas than just Mesoamerica, and the game could very easily explore a few interesting nations, never seen before in the Age franchise.
Maybe they could be included inside a larger Prussian faction that includes the Old Prussians, The State of the Teutonic Order and the Duchy of Prussia.
We have the Rus merging Varangians, Slavs and Mongols, so I don’t see why we can’t merge the Baltic Prussians with the Germanic Teutonic Order.

The Mongols are there own civilization in game.
They are, but they also are part of Rus with the Golden Horde and of the Chinese with the Yuan.
I disagree. Their approach with Civs is not the same as AoE2, which means we’re not going to get 40 or so civilizations in the game. Since they’ll include only a limited amount of Civs, I’d rather them cover all major ones first before further splitting a group. Hey, they might change their mind with time who knows… but that’s what we’ve been told so far.
In other words, grouping those groups into one HRE, or grouping the Seljuks, the Ottomans, the Karamanids, and so on under “The Turks” makes sense. They can’t have the asymmetry they’re going for if they get granular with these things.

Thank goodness, from what I’ve heard it’s been real overwhelming to start as a new player in AoE2 nowadays. Plus, as mainly an AoE2 player, I can say that the asymmetry wasn’t the greatest compared to AoE4. I’d say 12 or so would be a good number to shoot for. I think the devs should focus on content updates rather than civ updates.
Edit: by civ updates I mean new civs

Smaller sub civilizations are cheaper to produce because they can reuse assets and build up enough in profits to justify expanding the game with entirely new cultures
You mean skins? Like having the Swabians or Bavarians play the same than the HRE but with just a new logo, flag, name?
