So, here’s yet another one of my polls, this time about the American continent. I think that this one will be particularly divisive, as many people want the addition of factions for which we have not much source before the 17th century to the point I even renounced the idea of listing relevant states for each civ because in some cases there may be none.
I also have to admit that precolonial Americas are a huge blind spot in my historical knowledge, so civs far more interesting that those I listed may have been missed. Don’t hesitate to pick the “Other(s)” option and talk about it.
I would say 2 more for South America, make the Incas a new Andean architecture to share with the Chimu and another like Mapuche or Wari. Two more for Mesoamerica, maybe Tarascans and Chichimec or Mixtecs. If we do North America, the only civs I really see working are Missipppian and Pueblo, though we have limited knowledge of their warfare. I don’t think going into the northern woodland or plains would fit AoE2 style
I would say 2 more for Mexico and 2 more in and around the Inca Empire, I would especially like the Chimu and the Chichimecas, and then I guess the Chankas (partially to make the Pachacutec campaign more interesting) and either the Zapotecs or the Mixtecs.
Thanks. Everything can be found on wikipedia, to be honest x)
I agree with you on pretty much everything. I don’t even think I would include any North American native civ, though I’d say we need way more of them in AoE3.
You’re right, I missed those ones and they could actually be a better addition that a few of those I listed. I’m sorry, polls can’t be edited without losing previous answers. There’s still the “other’s” option, if there are several civs not in the list that people want to see added I may add a second poll to sort those out.
I just ended up picking the central and south american ones I best recognize. About 4-5 of the Mesoamerican ones, because of stuff I’ve researched for possible campaign creation. I don’t know enough about most of the north american nations to make an informed decision on what I would vote for, although I recognize several names.
