AOE-II DE New dlc on the way? (speculation)

[sheeesh]

There is this ''Porto'' thing in steam db ( https://steamdb.info/app/1869820/ ) . Along with the 21 new locked steam achievements, is this enough smoke to justify the speculation of another dlc being baked and soon served?

Someone talked with a FE dev, and the codenames won't be related to the upcoming DLC theme to prevent leaking content (LoTW and DoTD codenames spoiled the theme in one or other way), which started with AOE 3 DE latest DLCs (The African Royals DLC codename was "Bellfast" and the DLC wasn't even related to southern africa, the Mexico DLC was also codenamed "Bucharest" which is Romania's capital city).

Back on topic I just wish the new civs won't be European because Europe is more than represented (if not over represented), the 21 achievements might indicate that there will be more than 2 civs and 3 campaigns, though it can also be related to Coop campaigns too.

I just hope they won't add any new civs, although I'm afraid they will

 

[Pancrol]

Please no more civs! The second the DLCs are out, I get people asking me when are we porting them.

That's normal these days just look at games like Cities Skylines or Stellaris.

 

[teutonic_tanks]

99% it will be swiss and austrians

 

[Michaerbse]

Most important thing: either give us 1 new civ for a 5x8 grid or 3 new civs for a 6x7 grid!

I prefer campaigns based on real events (even if its less then more accurate) rather than a made up stories. So I hope civs u wish for have at least somehow documented events worthy of campaigns.

From the realms pack we still have these beefy boys Chimus and Muisca or Jurchens and Tufans, but I'm rooting for both. For real we only have one South American civ now? Gotta catch em all

 

[SouFire]

2 new civs, african civs most likely, after that 2 more civs wth indian architecture and next year 2 new american civs that were never more than a tribe(the civ order may vary), but whatever we as community never got together to prevent more atrocities coming, none a single BIG issues has been fixed since the first DLC was released but watch out for youtube content bois, thats what our big influencers just care about and stay in good terms with microsoft so few of them can host events and 0.000000000000000001% get a fraction of the price.

Why not -21 civs for a 3×6 grid?

More new civs can make the game lasting charms，and now is also a perfect time to release a DLC to boost the morale of AOE2's community as a means of counterattack against AOE4.

At the same time, it is also the wish of many players who like history.

If you're not interested, just ignore it and no one can force you to use a new civs.

They can force you to play against them.

Jurchens is unlikely enough, but they would never in a million years add tufans. We would have zerglings in aoe2 before microsoft dares antagonize CCP

In my opinien new civs keep da game fresh and exsiting. You now da days when we had to play aoc for like 10 years widout change you now. Was a bit boring at dat time. But, reely import and: balance dem right and do not intro duze gimicki bonusses and techs you now. Dat is just not aoe you now.

They will keep making 10 more DLC's and then sell us "Age of Empires 2 classic" it's all part of the great master plan.

Tew mcuh new stuff ends the exsitement yuo know.

 

[Tendo]

I don't want/need new Civs, but to be fair it's the thing which creates the most hype so it only makes sense.

 

[Huehuecoyotl22]

It would depend on the whole product how much I like it.
If there are 2-3 campaigns, some other new units/technologies, maps, maybe new terrain(s) some new (scenario editor) objects (e. g. hippo, polar bear, giraf, whale, different trees, mushrooms...), that would add some value.
I do hope too for a reasonable American, African or East Asian civ. But no idea how it thematically would be, since we already had Rise of the Rajas and African Kingdoms.

I wonder if they have interest in adding any other new game mode, as Battle Royale and Empire Wars probably did not have the expected long-term impact.
