I agree. Whilst the Dev comment that I dug up on Discord does point towards maybe not adding further Houses, this comment was made way before the DLC announcement.
I’d love more Royal Houses - not just on maps, but to further add as Royal Embassy wagon shipment options for Euro civs (much like current shipments for the French and Germans).
It should be part of the Euro civs’ inherent trait - being able to invest in Royal Houses to further your unit rosters.
I may look like a broken record by now, but von Clausewitz himself said that the heart of Germany was in Vienna
Today Vienna isn’t even in Germany, so he was a little bit wrong about that.
Well, he was talking about what he saw at his time and what he saw at his time was that Vienna was the heart of Germany
More real houses would be great and I hope they have changed their minds. I think it is the type of minor faction that has been liked the most so far and I hope that Microsoft is aware of this.
I’ve already mentioned this several times, but I also hope they add some new biomes and terrain so that Europe isn’t so monotonous in this regard.
As an Austrian statesman he’s also just about as biased as you can get on that topic.
There’s only two things I can’t stand. People who don’t respect other people’s culture. And the Dutch.
He was Prussian
I was mixing him up with Metternich.
There’s a revolt in the dutch for your needs 
ok jokes aside, if the timeframe would expand any further i guess belgium with the takeover of the private colony of the king would qualify for an empire. And it would even qualify without it considering malta, but malta was simply put a mistake, because if we apply malta status then’ we’d have to massivly add in civs all over the place and it would force a german split not into 2 but 3-5 diffrent civs, NVM india which would probably get 4 empires that covered approximatly the same area.
It’s so funny to see people complaining that we need more Royal Houses cuz some of them are “overused” in European maps and meanwhile the American maps have Zapotecs in Orinoco and Amazonia lfmao.
Me gustaría que agregaran granjas de esturiones, son construidas en las orillas por los pesqueros cuando se termina toda la pesca del mapa. El caviar de esturión era muy codiciado en Rusia, 4 rublos llegaba a costar tan solo una canasta, en ese tiempo la construcción de una iglesia ortodoxa con cúpulas doradas costaba 80 rublos. El esturión es un pez que también se come, con esto podemos deducir que de su pesca obtenemos alimento y un porcentaje de la recogida en oro.
Actually, this is true for any type of Minor Civs. Maps of Africa show Yoruba as the Natives of the Congo and Somalis as the Natives of the Swahili coast. In Asia, the Jesuits are present on the Map Korea, where historically the Jesuits had no influence, and in Indochina, which is supposed to be a Buddhist sphere, there are any Buddhist Civ, because there is no Minor Civ in the game that corresponds to the Theravada Buddhism that is unique to this region.
African Minor Civs should implement Southerner Natives, and Asian Minor Civs look like they need a rework. Currently, Minor Civs are not able to reproduce the diversity of Buddhist sects. Furthermore, in the case of Zen Buddhism, both Chinese Shaolin and Japanese Zen belong to the same sect, so it seems as if developers are blatantly favouring them.
It would be appropriate to merge Shaolin Temple and existing Zen, and add Esoteric sect or Pure Land sect for Japanese regions. Add in Minor Civs of the Nangchos and Theravada lineages, and unique religious traditions such as Taoism and Shugendo, and the Asian Minor Civs could be even better.
Like we all know whenever someone asks for something they basically prohibits the request for anything else, and every thread needs to be as exhaustively universally comprehensive as every one of yours.
I think the reason this is suggested is because the next DLC will be set in Europe again, and it would be very boring if said DLC came with only 2 civilizations. It would be somewhat disappointing.
The fact that this is suggested does not mean that people consider that they do not care about Central and South America, they are simply talking about another issue. Furthermore, the royal house is the type of minor faction that I think people like the most, so it doesn’t surprise me that they ask for more. That’s why I think that the oldest minor factions should be reworked to bring them up to par, while adding new minor factions to fill in the gaps and inconsistencies.
The pattern I see is that whenever someone detects a content gap in Europe, their first resort is to demand a full civ to be made out of it. They seem to disregard the other game’s features that could be used to add variety in a more granular way.
Minor civs, Revolutions, Mercenaries, Shipments, even ageups can help represent regions without having to occupy a whole civ slot.
All we know about the upcoming DLC is that it will add the Danish and Polish civilizations (there are not even specific names for them). We discuss and share our thoughts on what these DLC can offer after what KotM DLC has already added for Europe.
Do you see any problem with this? The problem is that we’re discussing what we know is coming for this game after two years without new DLC?
If you are disappointed with what the developers are working on and what they want to add to the game, you don’t have to complain all the time because everyone knows you don’t like it, because it is a European content (that you don’t like so much).
