Which civilization should be removed from AoE2?

[SungAlpaca64683]

Argument you gave for Slavs, holds true for Saracens and Dravidians as well.

I voted Burgundians because they were never a nation, a state, an empire. This is just one rebel area of France. I don’t know how they even made it to the game. Also their campaign is not bad technically but I totally didn’t want to fight against Joan.

I like to think of them as an umbrella for Lotharingia or Middle Francia. Them not representing the Dutch does make this feel weird, though.

Also I voted against Slavs, because they should have been divided to many civs long ago. Also this civ is weak, not authentic and having bad team bonus. They must be replaced with 4-5 real nations.

If we consider current Slavs as simply Ruthenians, I think the only other slavic civs we can realistically expect at this point are Serbs and maybe Moravians.

I really don’t think Europe needs more civs. Even East Europe, which people try to claim is underrepresented, has 5 civs. That’s more than Africa, America and India. Just rename the current Slavs and stop complaining.

I doubt that any civilization removal is going to ever happen. It’s unlikely to happen. So, this question just doesn’t seem to be right.

lol because they were gone before the Huns even appeared in Europe

However, their medieval descendants are represented by some civs in the game: Cumans, Mongols, Tatars, and Turks

To what? Russians? How will look Dracula campaign then?

@theragingwaters

Not a state in the terms of today, but as far as Middle Ages go, they were. They had their own rulers and history. They weren’t merely “rebels”.

Burgundia existed separately (not even completely) for just 18 years.

Make a Romanian/Wallachian/Vlach civ. That’s the only new European civ I’d personally want right now.
It could be bundled with campaigns for at least two other civs.

It’s really not, but the Dracula campaign having to juggle between 3 civs (none of which accurately represents the character in question) for 5 scenarios is just absurd.

That’s great. It means they have no reason whatsoever to be in the game. Would be a great addition for RoR, though.

That’s why I say to add Romanians to the game despite otherwise not wanting more Euro civs. They can take over the current Dracula campaign and the three civs you play as in it can finally get proper campaigns.

[voidpointer131]

I mean, we got DoI out of that as well.

[MSTVD]

None. But especially keep Romans because I enjoy the pain of the salty haters who still complain about them.

Exceptionally based.

[ZagorathAus]

My vote goes to Gurjaras, purely because I hate the shrivamsha riders with their stupid recharging science-fiction forcefield. It makes no sense in a mediaeval game.

[fleuret_jp]

Romans…this civ bothers me. I don’t wanna vote for any civ, but I’ve not still catch their consept for a game play. Infantry, scorpion, and centurion, how can I use them especially in imperial battle on arena or BF.
