Yamato in AOE2

My guess is, they’ll wait to see how the China DLC will do before considering a Three Kingdom chronicles.

It seems like this DLC will likely already have 3 Kingdoms content in it (not civilisations though).

I would choose Emishi. Ezo is not considered as it is just another name for Emishi and is used more to refer to land than people, while Ainu only covers the last few centuries.

The advantage of naming them Ainu would be that the name is more recognisable since they still exist today. People are more biased towards recent things for obvious reason.
But I personally don’t care to much about the exact name.

I would expect to see a subgame focusing on the 15th-17th centuries. In my opinion, it would be enough to create a dozen civs using the various clans as references.

I made a concept for a Spin-off that fills the gap between AoE2 and AoE3 which aligns well with the Sengoku period.

I’d probably do a few things differently then I did them back then but I still like the overall idea.

For Japan it might be an interesting idea to be able to choose a Clan every match instead of every Clan being it’s own civilisation. Similar to mutually exclusive technologies in Chronicles.

Greek only really had 3-4 major factions (Athens, Sparta, Thebes and Macedonia) while Japan would probably have a few more.
What clans do you think would be important and unique enough to be their own civilisations?
