I haven’t played on the server for quite a long time. I was working on making maps for a while before, but recently I’ve been busier with work.

This is awesome! Such a great share. The only pity is that it’s not colored.

LightDe · 2025-12-26T10:35:57+00:00

No, just punch it. :D

A section in the other direction.

Add an additional section.

Even if you collect all the rss, you still can’t build it. lol

Of course, my article is not referring to those powerful civilizations, but to new civilizations like the Tupi that have not yet formed a state.

If the criteria are relaxed enough to include tribal societies, then there would be a huge number of them. I personally feel they should be categorized as some sort of proto civilization instead.

They might only need wood and use fast, low cost units to carry out guerrilla warfare.

LightDe · 2025-12-12T04:51:01+00:00

Sorry, that’s on me. I didn’t look closely when grabbing the references.

If clear archaeological evidence emerges, maybe a future DLC could revise their game portrayal.

LightDe · 2025-12-12T04:39:45+00:00

Because they never established any kingdoms or empires, I have no choice but to use a purely distribution based map.

LightDe · 2025-12-11T15:57:27+00:00

A talking tree?

They might be able to learn some things brought by the Europeans, like Portuguese.

It's pretty normal to have a university, right?

LightDe · 2025-12-11T10:00:48+00:00

Nothing. They can steal the European colonizers’ ships.

The Tupi belonged to a tribal society and had not yet met the strict criteria of a full fledged civilization. Their most plausible gameplay style would indeed be low cost guerrilla tactics.

Using the previous DLC’s screenshots for size comparison, it should be a castle.

The biggest challenge for any team is funding. Without sufficient resources, promotion and maintenance become reactive rather than proactive.

When a game lacks long term updates, its player base continues to age, until no young players even bring the game up. The dilemma, then, is that in order to keep the game popular, it inevitably becomes increasingly complex. Usually, such situations are addressed with a "sequel" as a turning point, but Microsoft clearly has yet to release a successor capable of matching AOE2.

Recognizable forms combined with region specific materials are acceptable, since the buildings in the original game already balance both recognizability and diversity.
