Indians wont never come in this game cause they are already there. It’s named “Dehli Sultanat”.
Yes, Byzantine gameplay will look like abassid boom eco and indian units.
Norse are the most popular, we dont care about the “powerfull”, this is not an history lesson Dylan.
Anyway I’m not worry. You can dream to see byzantin in the next 8 month.
In matters of taste, you can speak for yourself. If you don’t like history, reality, there’s SC or another child stuff.
Of course devs wont take care about this studie. Can you imagine if they cares ? Guys want Azteca now.
Nice !
However, I think Norses and Gaelics should be split into Danes/Norger/Sverige and Eire/Scots/Wales respectively.
(I also made a post on possible danes by the way)

Also, I think the moors would be good, but having a separate Al-Andalus Caliphate would be, too.
And finally, nothing to say on Byzantium ^^
If we talk about empire importance I would say they priority should be Spanish and bizantine then ottomans and japanese
We are talking here about the empire that discovered America…
in the time of AOE4 its the Svea, not Sverige, also Danes is an ethnicity/nationality while Norge and Sverige are country names.
i also really dont think we should be splitting them into 3+3 factions, its okay to acknowledged that one was stronger than the others.
What did Spanish do at medieval ages? Only discovering america is not too important. 
Lol and be behind a wall during all your empire is important? (Chinese)
The Ottoman Empire was the ONLY one fighting half the true world powers all at the same time (and what’s even more amazing… mostly winning).
(first map 1648, second map 1555)
Oh, yeah, thanks, I didn’t know the proper terms ^^’
On the factions side, well, I still think we should. Even if one was stronger than the other or anythings, they are too unique to be united. As an exemple, Swedens were more of traders than the others, and it is they that settled in Novgorod and founded what would become the Rus’, were the Danes rather created the danelaw, and where the norwegians discovered america. Every of these nordic nations had their cultures and specialities and, if the swedishs and danes were the major history players, melting all of them into one supercivilisation would be an error. It would be like mixing up the Rus’ and Poland into one civilisation because they are east slavs and that their culture and language have similarities.
Same thing apply to the gaelics.

Well, depends on wich time period. If you’re talking about middle ages, that’s (as long as I know) not exactly true. If you talk about early modern world, yes, they against a lot of great powers. If you talk about later, they are all but the only one, as, for one exemple, Napoleon. Who fought basically everyone in Europe and lost only two times in a Europe-conquering fever that got well.
Both maps above are within AoE4 time. Ottomans were up against Mamluks, Safavid Persia, Timurids / Ak Koyunlu (major world powers, Europe was weaker), Hungary, France, HRE, Russia, Portugal all at the same time. No other civ on Earth comes close. The Ottoman Empire was the center of world interactions.
Timurids please
I want to replay the Tamerlane campaign AOE4 style
Vietnamese (China, Mongol invasion) and Japanese (Mongol invasion)
According to one version, Rurik was a Swede, in Russia he was a Varangian, and not only Swedes could be called that. Rurik was called to rule, and he did not come himself.
Hello there folks,
I’d like to voice my hopes to Relic in hope that they will read this and at least consider this for the future civilizations to be added into the game. Before I begin however I’d like to say that the current civilizations that was launched with the game is overall in a good state when it comes to their uniqueness etc. and I understand that they took a more “safe” approach with this “reboot” if you will, to make it as solid as possible.
That being said I do wish that for the future of new civilizations that they make them even more unique not only how the civilizations are played but also introduce more unique units for each civilization. At the same time they could also update the current civilizations roster to give them an updated gameplay as well.
I know it’s a difficult task to come up with ideas then have to balance them around all civilizations and such but I believe that there is room for improvement later down the road and I think it’ll be crucial for the success of this game long term.
Hey guys, I wanted to create a topic for discussion about what kind of civs you’d like to see added next and what kind of unique features you think they could have.
As for me, I would really like to see a tribal civ added. Maybe something like native americans. I would also like to see aztecs. For the aztecs, I would really love to see all their buildings have aztec architecture. I would have to look up aztec civilization history, as i’m not sure what kind of unique units or technology they could have. But I think aztecs could have some really cool looking skins for the general units that all civs have. I also really loved Incas from AoE3.
One thing I would also like is a civ that hasn’t been in any of the games yet. I can’t think of any, but i’m sure there are a good amount choose from.
What do you guys think? I’d love to hear some civ ideas and what should be unique about them in terms of units, buildings, and tech.
I also wanted to touch on the topic of those who don’t want any new civs at all. And to them, I say shut your mouth and play another RTS. 
Also, who else misses skirmishers? 
I definitely do! They were always helpful in a pinch. I think their function has somewhat been replaced by crossbowmen, but that leaves no option for the earlier ages in terms of anti heavy armor ranged units.
I am totally with you on adding mesoamerican civs, I think that’d be a great addition.
I also think they should add a celtic based faction with unique stealth functions when it comes to archers and infantry, i.e. guerilla warfare, highlanders and whatnot.
Another cool addition would be some sort of norse faction that are similar to mongols in their adeptness in raiding but also maybe some sort of naval superiority and berserker type shock infantry like in Age 2.
Japan would also rock as a civ with samurai and stealth units like ninjas and shinobi and whatnot. Get some Bushido action up in there!
In terms of never before seen, maybe a pacific islander nation, or maybe a well developed mediterranean civ from italy/byzantium to the moors.
Lastly, 100 percent with you on those who want no more civs shutting their mouths!
