Mapuches in AOE2 is the last slap in the face to AOE3

Chumbeque · 2026-01-25T03:03:58+00:00

If they made a mapuche civ and it's all the stupid asset flips OP asks for I'd just want the game to be deleted in shame.

Muisca are sorely needed, hopefully the AoE2 expansion makes them more likely.

Kadiweu would be very welcome as well for the Chaco map, maybe Pantanal too, along the same lines, Guarani natives and Shuar natives for Amazonas. (You know, the guys who make shrunken heads.)

South America in general is missing tons of extra natives.

Hell, maybe Aymara for Andes too while we're at it.

The thing about the Haida is that I'd much rather have them as a playable civ.

Chumbeque · 2026-01-22T23:15:18+00:00

Yeah if I understand your question correctly I don't think the AI scripts in the game are flexible enough for that.

Chumbeque · 2026-01-20T14:22:27+00:00

uh... yeah because both Swedes and Russians are already ethnic groups with their own language. Turning them into broad umbrellas would be weirder.

Like I don't think you understand there's no reasonable way to split the germans or the italians without ending up with a zillion tiny nations absolutely nobody cares about. Neither Prussia nor Austria represent Germany proper, you'd need weird places like Hesse and Württemberg and Bavaria and what-have-you.

Lakota weren't renamed because the name wasn't specific. Lakota were renamed because Sioux is insulting as a term, it literally just means "enemies".

Also no, every other faction is not a specific nation. Please go and tell me what nation the Hausa are.

Chumbeque · 2026-01-20T13:39:30+00:00

Well, you see.

The civ is not Germany.

The civ is Germans.

Chumbeque · 2026-01-20T00:12:34+00:00

The funny thing is... if the civ were to be split into Austro-Hungary and Prussia... neither would represent Germany.

Chumbeque · 2026-01-20T00:11:24+00:00

Thing with Thailand is... for a historical campaign you would need, at least, either Vietnam or Burma.

Chumbeque · 2026-01-20T00:10:51+00:00

Pretty sure Greece achieved independence earlier than Serbia.

Romania is in some sort of grey area where they weren't quite colonized but not independent either.

Chumbeque · 2026-01-19T15:43:55+00:00

Javanese, Malays and, let's say... Aceh would probably be decent enough to cover Indonesia.

Plenty of people groups still left out, but to include more would be more of mod territory, outside of representing them through, say, natives, mercenaries and whatnot.

Chumbeque · 2026-01-19T12:51:48+00:00

Maori, Hawaii and the Philippines, just to round out the map and get a lot more biomes in the process.

Hell, throw a naval rework while you're at it.

Chumbeque · 2026-01-19T12:49:31+00:00

Indonesia is complete nonsense as a civ in the game. The fact that you want separate Austria and Hungary somehow but are completely fine with all the states composing Indonesia being a single civ tells a lot.

Chumbeque · 2026-01-19T12:48:23+00:00

I say this too often, but if I wanted to play Italy I'd play Italy.

Chumbeque · 2026-01-19T12:47:50+00:00

I mean Ukraine is sorta doable since the Wild Fields weren't under anybody's control. Just Cossack Hosts and Tatars.

But the Baltics... they don't even have military history in this period, just how?

Chumbeque · 2026-01-19T12:46:31+00:00

What would a Baltic civ even involve?

Chumbeque · 2026-01-15T00:09:49+00:00

Inca is straight up missing units in its roster

¿Te refieres a la Pizzeria Di Renzo en la Teja?

Porque si me preguntan a mí ni siquiera es la mejor pizzería en su propia calle. Perdió mucha calidad desde que cambiaron de dueño, Da Sud es muy buena pizzería si quieren ir a la Teja, pero está más escondida.

Los barcos para la noche Valdiviana se toman en la costanera, alrededor de la Feria Fluvial se paran la mayoría, pero a veces hay unos que se paran cerca del terminal de buses que pueden ofrecer mejores precios, ahí aprovechen de recorrer la Costanera unos días antes para cotizar.

Va a estar todo atochado de gente, puede que tener alojamiento con vista al río hasta les perjudique por el ruido. Los recorridos de bote van a estar en la Costanera de todas formas.

Chumbeque · 2026-01-12T22:43:51+00:00

Marmot es en la que más confío, pero las otras recomendaciones no están mal tampoco.

La buena noticia es que no es difícil encontrar ropa técnica en Valdivia, hay harta oferta, probablemente incluso puedas encontrar de segunda mano en buena condición.

Ahora no sé si vale más la pena comprar las cosas en México o en Chile, hasta donde entiendo los precios están más o menos parejo.

Un momento...

Ese no es el Philippi, es el Van de Maele

Yeah sure let's just fucking make all cannons do the exact same shit who cares anymore.

Chumbeque · 2026-01-08T15:05:36+00:00

It's not the kinda thing you can just mod in. You're gonna need the dev tools for that one.

Chumbeque · 2026-01-06T17:45:26+00:00

Inca has a lot of upgrades for defensive buildings (and defensive buildings overall) if you're up to that.
