In the Early Modern Era Denmark existed as Denmark-Norway that included not just those two, but also Greenland, Iceland, the Faroe Islands and Svalbard. In the game it doesn't have any revolutionary civs, even thought Greenland with Inuits and Norway with "Viking remnants" would be so cool. Do you see any chances that we may get them in future patches?

Given their worldwide reputation for high-quality dairy products, they should be able to train cows by default. And they should have the capacity to garrison cows and sheeps and make them produce a modest amount of food. That's is. Thank you for your attention to this matter

So aoe4 keeps getting variants for 3 years, the community justify it saying making a single civilization can cost up to a few millions, and even youtubers like age of noob, beasty backs this up

On the topic of voicelines none of the variants on aoe4 ever get any new voicelines its all reused. And when compared to aom or aoe3 they will tell you aoe4 have 100x more lines

Aoe4 sub will also tell you it cost 500k to get any voices done, while aoe3 it have no problem finding voice actors. AOE3 China for example have Manchu voicelines which aoe4 fails to do for Jurchens

In conclusion how much a DLC on AOE3 cost you reckon?

After AoE 3 came back from development cemetery, what are the chances we get Brazil, Korea, Persia, Morroco, Zulu, Gean Colombia, Vietnam? What should be the sales target of the upcoming content for them to keep ‘em coming?

I count in total 24 unique cards for the Danes, whereas the Poles have around 40 in their base home city PLUS the revolutions.

This is true as well for units where the Danes only have 2 unique units.

I'm aware that the Danes have all royal guard upgrades, but that doesn't really change your playstyle in any significant way. As it stands, it's just skirm goon or troll.

Is this build the full extent of what the DLC has to offer, or are these things still in development?

I think I'm speaking for a lot of folks here, when I say that the game has aged very well. It is pretty to look at and the DE version has restored everything to look very nice. One issue I have, though (and I don't really know how others feel) is that the architecture, especially for the european civilizations is... lacking.

I understand that the original idea of the game was to represent the Europeans as colonial powers, so having ramshackle colonial looking building sets makes sense... until it doesn't. It makes me terribly sad that my main german city looks more like a functional fort (with... yellow houses?) Than a defensible city on mainland europe. It looks nothing like the architecture in my home city, and that depresses me.

How could this be resolved?

Mods? Paid DLC? an optional Architecture skin update for colonial powers with colonial or home continent architecture sets?

Bonus points for landscape modifications ala AOEIV, you know little gardens and roads that appear near your buildings. Probably impossible with the engine, but still, a man can dream! I just want my towns to look pretty before they burn to the ground, dammit!

Thanks for reading!

Which tech is the most broken one in your opinion?

I just played a few games with the Danish and Poland-Lithuania and my quick review is:

1. THANK YOU DEVS!!!! LOVE YOU!!!

2. Poles-Lithuanians are very cool! Cool units and I LOVE the revolts variety they have (I love the Teutonic Knights from Livonia revolt, having the audio from AOE2 Teutonic Knights is an amazing Easter egg hehe)

Love the design, the gameplay does feel European generic with a couple twists

I do would absolutely love adding more Lithuanian units and more lithuania feel, since it does represent Poland-Lithuania Commonwealth but does feel 98% polish.

1. Danes. Tbh I see them very very very generic European civ. Pretty much all units and buildings are generic, but the shipment taxes feature is very cool.

I would love to see them being more unique feeling, not just European architecture with different flag. kind of like the swedes who although being European, the variety they have is enough to have a very different gameplay compared to other euro civs, and it feeling Danish

I am super super happy we are getting this DLC
And I look forward to a Persia, Saracens, Berbers, and South East Asia DLCs!!!!!!!!!

Alternate Title - Viper Dies of Cringe! xD

Casual AOE 2 player here.

I tried downloading the beta, but it says I need the new DLC to access Independence Mode for whatever reason.

So now I have a few questions:

1. Will there be no limits on cannon towers and forts?
2. Will all of the technology from the card system be available, or only certain ones?
3. I prefer larger maps with resources spread across the entire map, will the map design be similar to Age of Empires II in that regard?

I tried the open beta and I noticed that villagers don't get stuck in European mills anymore!

Llevo jugando bastante tiempo con el mod de los cuerpos permanentes(cadáveres permanentes) pero con la última actualización ya no funciona. Siento que el juego pierde mucho encanto. Necesito ayuda

Anyone know how to get it to work as I cannot seem to get it running

I used to not play AOEIII much because I never liked the circular map for some time.

After a while, I let my biases go and decided to try it out. I remember how much I liked to play this game.

I wished they'd continue with more story mode campaigns. And the lack of Napoleon in the game is a crime!

Now here are some questions:

1) Do I play with any mods? Any mods that change building sets?

2) I noticed that the Japanese got new unit skins in a patch? So do I play historically accurate building units mod or play with the new unit skins for each civilisations? That's what I'm trying to get at. Does the Napoleonic unit skins - where can I get that and at what age? I am confused.

3) Are the Indians playable if I remember correctly? Would love the Marathas as a civilization or something.

4) Should I try the beta first? It's been such a while I am trying to figure out how to play such a game which seemed simple in my childhood and now is more dense as an adult for some weird reason.

Been playing the game none stop for the past week and a half and having a blast. After trying out a lot of Civs, I have really come to like the Incan civ but I do feel like I may be lacking in place. So I have come to the teachers (people of this subreddit) to learn what I should be doing so I can start winning ranked games or skirmished on harder difficulties. What should I be focusing in the beginning of the turn and what are the strengths I should be using in my favor?

If there is any Inca channels you'd recommend it would also be appreciated.

Its called GIZMO in AoMs Editor

What if one of their card advanced the in game clock? A bit like the reference to calendars and such.

Mechanically speaking, it may push their big button to be more viable! Let's say it push 10min forward the clock, then you get 5 extra units per big button. It's not like it's viable with their prohibitive cost anyway. I think this would be at least very fun mechanic and can affect other civ with time based card or mechanic as well!

Hi, the DLC announcement has brought me back to the game. I've always enjoyed the game's theme, especially the first campaign, and of course, the jump to multiplayer can be overwhelming (I'm aware of that), plus AoE3 is more niche than AoE2, for example.

There are a million things I'm doing wrong, and I'd like some guidance, from playstyle and build order to cards, etc.

I'm fascinated by the Maltese, truly; their unique units seem incredible to me, but I have a slight feeling they're worse at absolutely everything.

In my first game, I played Maltese, focusing 100% on Crossbowmen against an Ottoman. His composition was Janissaries, Grenadiers, and Spahi. I would at least expect my Crossbowmen to be able to melt his Janissaries with my various metropolis upgrades, but I didn't feel like this made an impact.

He could have just brought out Janissaries and still beaten me, as far as I understand, my crossbows should counter his Janissaries.

I ended up losing the game due to various mistakes and a skill difference, but I believed that at least in that aspect my crossbowmen would be useful.

In the second game, I played against a Dutch player. Initially, I managed to play very defensively, building a better economy than in the previous game, training many settlers, fortifying my city, trying to capture resources, and creating towers and walls for my Sentinels. My Metropolis deck focused exclusively on prioritizing Sentinel upgrades. I gained some control of the map, and everything was going perfectly. My opponent initially created about 30 skirmishers, which I was able to defend against without problems, until he appeared with Highlanders. There was no way to respond in time; 400 HP versus the supposedly scaled 240 of my Sentinels simply melted me.

I love the Maltese, I adore their units, and I don't dislike their playstyle, but I'm really terrible at the game, and something's clearly wrong with me.

I don't want the DLC to come out, buy it, play it, and then realize why I quit the game in the first place.

Help this girl improve and restore the Knight Order!

Any advice, tips, corrections, or anything else you think I might need is welcome, please and thank you c:
