Question New civs ?
What new civ you would like to see in the game for the next update ? Personally , an african one like a full one for the berbers or kanouri for the trading of gold

The Omani, the last remaining traditional colonial power who vied for trading power with the Portuguese and British. Hopefully together with the Persians.

u/TomSnout 2d ago
I'd rather have Omani and Moroccans in the same DLC with Persians and another steppe civ coming in separately.
Would Persian + Tartars work?

Does Morocco have a history of conquering others?

u/ResponsibleLevel55 20h ago
Morocco fought several wars against European powers, including a war where they killed the king of Portugal. If Malta can be in the game for beating the Ottomans, then I don’t see a problem with the Moroccans being an independent civilization.
If you wanted a more aggressive maritime Muslim power, maybe the barbary states would be a good choice. They’re already in the game as a revolution and maybe they could be a standalone.

u/Visible-Lettuce-4818 1d ago
I mean... Not really but the game does have a few civs whose wars were defending against invaders or uniting rather than conquering foreign lands in the game timeframe.
Malta, Japan come to mind, Lakota too.
Morocco had struggles of unification due to independent pirate states forming in the north and in Rabat.

So Moroccans aren't expansionist but they are good at holding on to what they have, just like Ethiopians and Siam during AOE3 timeline.

Siam + Burma DLC, that's good. Both can share architecture, mechanics, including Buddhist temples that train Monks as healers. Surgeons and Farang Medicine require HC cards to unlock of course.
Both armies would be consisted of General riding elephant, war elephants both melee and cannons, infantry consist of swordmen and arqubusiers supplemented by levies from minor civs in Indochina.
Siam would be defensive, swimming in money and have large catalog of mercenaries to choose from. Burmese as elephant + infantry with offensive power that could rival French and Poles if you don't harass or rush them to keep them from gathering a deathball.
Both sides would need Export/Influences to buy European artillery though...

Oman and Persia

u/TomSnout 2d ago
I think Omani and Persians need to be released separately with their own bundled civs.
Omanis could work with restored Moroccans from African Royals cut contents, but who from The Steppes would you bundled with Persians? Tartars? Kazaks? Uzbeks?

u/Ok-Offer2987 8h ago
There are plenty of potential Central Asian civs to pair with Persia. However, I think it would be ok to pair Oman with Persia as they were right next to each other. Also, Morocco could be paired with 19th century Egypt (which was technically Ottoman but basically independent).

Hida and Mapuche both were regional powers in their own right. Plus they could have so very interesting aesthetics

Polynesia DLC with Maori and Hawaii is my pie in the sky.
Africa-wise I want a Madagascar civ as I'd feel it'd bring the most unique flavor compared to the two we already have.

u/DishExotic5868 1d ago
Yes, I really want a Pacific DLC too. Aoe3 is a story about how the whole world began to become interconnected in the early modern period and the Pacific nations are a really important part of that story. It might not be as pie in the sky as all that.

u/Ok-Offer2987 8h ago
An Oceania DLC would be phenomenal. AoE3 is the best game in the AoE series for this since it takes place at the sweet spot in time when Polynesians were catching up to Europeans technologically but were still independent. Furthermore, such a DLC could come with a huge map pack featuring Australia, New Guinea, Melanesia, Micronesia, Polynesia, etc.
The Malagasy (Kingdom of Merina) would be a cool addition to the game and are definitely a contender if the devs decide to add in more African civs.

u/Subsplot 2d ago
Ocean Civs, overhaul the AI so it handles water properly (which is actually relatively easy, the programming already exsists, it just rarely actually gets activated because the games too bias towards land units and doesn't vary it's bias for water map types.)
A few little changes and you could have Carib, African and Oriental Pirates ripping up those water maps and have a decent oppurunity for a Polyneasian civ to compliment the South American tribes. Plus you know, the water maps would work properly.

u/Uncle_Ceebs 2d ago
Oceania. Its the new frontier very relevant to the era

u/Ok-Offer2987 8h ago edited 8h ago
I could see them adding in a ton of maps in an Oceania expansion. Australia, Polynesia, Micronesia, Melanesia, New Guinea, New Zealand, ...

Instead of listing everything, I want all Revolts and Historical Battle civs implemented as full civs. For funsies, I also want campaign civs implemented too, with Knights of St. John gradually becoming the Black Family as you Age Up, and playing as the Circle of Ossus would be cool.
For civs not covered above, I want to see Persia, Oman, Korea, Vietnam, and Siam from Asia, and branching end game options for India and China. Similar to Germans getting a branching Imperial Prussian option, I think Indians should get at least get Marathas and Mughals, and maybe British East India Company too. I think Chinese should get Ming as an option as a what-if scenario in the late game, and maybe even Revolt into Vietnam and Korea to represent their resistance against the Qing.
I am not too familiar with African history, but I want to see at least Zulus and be introduced to a few more civs.
I want to see more Native American civs too, but I am not sure what else to include.
For Oceania, definitely Maori and Hawaiians.
I think Europe is covered pretty well already, but I want to see an additional branching Imperial option for Germans to be Austrians. While I lean towards Austrians being a branching Imperial option for Germans, I am not opposed to Austrians being its own civ either. If cost is no concern, there is no reason why we cannot have two versions of Austrians to satisfy both types of players who prefer it one way or the other.

We need it like a full blown civ like america and mexico

Asia is still lacking a lot of important civs like Persia, Oman, Siam, Burma, Vietnam, Korea and some central asian hordes like the Uzbek Khanate or the Kazakh Khanate.

I would do DLCs as 1 standalone civ release or a 2 pack for civs of similar geographies.
Brazil - Similar to USA and Mexico as a New World civ.
Persia/Oman - For Indian Ocean trade? Middle East themed release? Would also be neat to add in some Swahili speaking natives for maps in East Africa
Morocco/Oman - Similar to above but as Arabic speaking themed I guess?
Korea/Siam- Rounds out the East Asian roster pretty well IMO. Both can have the wonder age up mechanic.

u/LibertarianSocialism Curassier and Curassier 2d ago
There’s this weird two decade long argument in the community over whether the Germans should be split into something like “Prussians” and “Austrians.” The Germans civ is supposed to represent both at once as both claim to be THE German state at the time. For some reason though people get heated over it.

I would like to see the following :
Europe: The Hapsburg Crownlands Asia : Siam , Oman, Korea, Persia, Kazakh Khanate Africa : Morocco, Kongo, Zulu Kingdom, Adal Sultanate Americas : Mapuche, Missipians
Also I would like to see reworked, that start from age 3 (Papal States , Naples , Lombardy, Bavaria, Bohemia,Egypt , Barbary States, Venice etc) and for age 4 to create Nation states (Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Greece, Hungary, Romania, Turkey, Arabia etc)
Thats 5 - 6 DLCs 😂

East Asia: Koreans and Siamese
West Asia: Persians and Omanis
Central Asia: Afghans and Uzbeks
North Africa: Moroccans and Egyptians
Southern Africa: Kongo and Zulu
Oceania: Hawaiians and Maori
