What would you like to see added to AoE2 in the future?

Norse were a civ though - Vikings were the name of their warriors - or rather it comes from “To Go Viking” as a profession(raiding) - but in general vernacular - everyone connects Vikings with the Norse people.

I mean, it’s not entirely accurate - but IMO it’s reasonable.

I checked files again and there was no update since 21.10.2020.
I think they wouldn’t add new files to game data year or more before releasing new campaigns. I thought too, that maybe some of them are saved for new civilization, but later trailer of November Patch was uploaded and we saw new civilization picker that is specially designed for 35 civilization which means they are not planning any new civ yet.


2 of 3 new files have 5 files ( 5 missions ) and 1 have 6 files ( 6 missions ).

No. Viking just means “man of the bay” or pirate.
It was an occupation, not a warrior caste.
In fact, Vikings would avoid battles with actual armies as much as they could, and raid unprotected villages and monateries.

They were in it for the loot and slaves, not for conquest or the glory of battle.

I would like to see custom skins an optional feature usable in multiplayer and singleplayer.

I am seeing tons of threads where people talk about weak and strong civs. How will adding more civs make the game better when the current civs are not balanced?

The best thing to do is to bring more graphical variety to the game by adding custom skins for buildings and units. This of course would be optional for those who would like to see more visual variety in game. For the oldies, there should be a classic option with no visual variety. I would love to see this as a toggle in settings where a player can switch between classical and extended depending on their preferences.

More civs always make it better.
It is the main draw-in of the AoE series, when compared with other RTS games.

I would want AOE2 to officially absorb CBA and make it a MOBA style play. MOBA is a very famous format and a reason why Dota2 is so famous.

Also a quality of life improvement for newbies : the HOTKEY LETTER on the icon in the table.
it is difficult to learn all hotkeys and many newbies give up in the process. to make that process easier, a overlay of the letter assigned in the hotkey section can appear over the icon on the in game interface which will great improve the learning curve

New civs with new architecture sets outside of Europe considering how many of those (European civs) we already have :smile:

If for some reason no new sets are going to happen, I’d love to see each see each existing set used by 3 to 4 civs, which would mean a few more South Asian, African, American and Central Asian civs.

@BootJenna : More Coop scenarios are coming soon.

  • and + keys do absolutely nothing to my game.

Right on, thanks Atsavin! If you really wish to do this and can’t keep waiting for a developer-implemented CTRL+F12 solution, you can download and use Capture Age to achieve the screenshot-of-entire-map part, if you like:

I’m not sure where to download Capture Age at present

I fervantly demanded Poland to be added , even when I fought against a flood of 5 people telling me ‘‘no one wants them or they won’t work’’ and yet next month we get Poland and Bohemia.

I Know the devs listen. I Just think they have to juggle between work amount, money and the wide diverse wants of the crowd haha

I think we need new unit lines, new cosmetics, new campaigns.
New civs are ok but don’t do much for the game (really happy for DotD however).
