Mongols rarely ever take ground in China, through my experience...and the huns rarely gain ground, so long as you so ANYTHING within asia...This is how many historically powerful nations act. Is this just me, or are my AI just more stupid than normal.

How has nobody mentioned the fact that Carthage is still around in the Empire Age? Historically, Carthage fell long before Rome fell. And, they start out in Medieval randomly at war with India.

How has nobody mentioned the fact that Carthage is still around in the Empire Age? Historically, Carthage fell long before Rome fell. And, they start out in Medieval randomly at war with India. This is a good point. I remember people complaining about this, though I'd have to read through 5 pages here to see if it was THIS thread. Carthage is being used as a placeholder for Africa I think, just as Aztec clearly represents Mexico later in the game, and not only does Inca represent South America, but the developers add Brazilian cities without changing who represents the continent. And Cleopatra represents every Egyptian state lol. If the game went to 1960 it would still have a 50+% Greek Pharaoh in charge I bet. It would be kinda cool to see a Arab Empire incorporating the entire region, as a dangerous 3 star. Since that is realistic. Should at least gain cities at the expense of Carthage. In my fantasies about changing the game, Ethiopia would incorporate itself, and perhaps later African cities untouched by Arabs or the major states (though that would dwindle to 0) Plus Sana'a could appear in the classical conquest as a Ethiopian possession. In fact Ethiopia was at its strongest at the time IMO. Even in that case It makes no sense for Carthage or Africa to be at war with India, as Ethiopia was a major trader with India. Doubt it ever went to war, can't be sure. When you keep forgetting that Guests are allowed still  (silly because they post so often) |

Either Easytech devs were on weed or Carthage represents certain groups of West Africans just like Ottoman and Arabs represent the major Middle Eastern Empires. |

Why does Egypt not appear in Gunpowder though? Is it not like a client state/protectorate of British Empire? Or did Easytech devs say: "I'd prefer Brits cuz WC3 and Egypt's gonna be useless and weak anyways so why not the Brits"

Either Easytech devs were on weed or Carthage represents certain groups of West Africans just like Ottoman and Arabs represent the major Middle Eastern Empires. I just pointed that out, though you pinpointed it. Egypt even in the classical era didn't own all the cities it showed...I think. Same for Carthage actually. I think the Ottoman position makes perfect sense OTHER THAN IT STARTING WITH CONSTANTINOPLE, though perhaps you have examples. Now that I think of it, the earliest Turks weren't Ottoman, though it was still Medieval when Ottoman appeared. You could argue its true about the Arabs, though I find representing them as a single nation isn't too silly. Can't do EVERYTHING......or can they? However remember that Persia appears in Empire, presumably as a Muslim Dynasty by that time. Despite having Xerxes  Note: I mostly just mean Medieval, as them owning Constantinople in Industrial makes sense for example. The big problem is that Byzantium died WHEN it lost Constantinople, and had lost most of Greece already. Instead the medieval conquest shows Byzantium as only Greece, while Ottoman gets Constantinople despite already owning the strong city of Baghdad, which I doubt was accurate at the time anyway. |

Easy tech had a good idea here, advance through the ages.....but when weaponry from WW1(machine guns tanks)are in the American revolution.... I kind of gave up on a historically accurate ET game, EW3 did do a decent job at WW1 though

Also why they put monarchs in general such as Catherine the Great she was not a general maybe she would replace by Grigory Potemkin

Why they included some crappy generals, such as Conrad von Hotzendorf, he ruined Austria-Hungary in WW1

Why they included some crappy generals, such as Conrad von Hotzendorf, he ruined Austria-Hungary in WW1 Well you have a point in the sense horrible generals shouldn't represent their countries. Though otherwise should be a few bad generals perhaps. Part of it will have to do with how famous they are I think, anyway I'm pretty sure Conrad commanded the Austro-Hungarian army as chief of the general staff through almost the whole war, so It makes a lot of sense for him to represent the country. The silly thing is giving him a biography that makes him look good, but I guess trash talking isn't very professional  Anyway thanks for joining the Forum! I hope you have a good time here. |

Incomplete Opinions:
Bismarck must be replace by Helmuth von Moltke the Elder
Columbus must be replace by Admiral Alvaro de Bazan
Catherine the Great should be replace by Grigory Potemkin
Beowulf must be replace by Cnut the Great
Cleopatra must be replace by Rameses II

Why they added Robin hood? Accuracy view: They had no clue that Robin Hood was Mythical, as their history was from the PE teacher. Gameplay view: They needed a recognisable Cav-melter for Early game that was (Look at your starters: Leonidas, Hood, Hannbal are all known to many people, unlike, say, Mulan), as well as a early-game Briton that was more varied than the Rome and Greek inf gens. LIKE NOBODY WATCHES DISNEY MOVIES! XD |
