Just like the Chinese never cared to impose their will on South East Asia.
In fact, the Ottoman Empire DEMOLISHED many parts of sub-sahara Africa. Not only because it doesn’t make sense to match up these tribes to European nations, but also because it doesn’t make sense to put them up against the Japanese, the Chinese, the Indians and the Turks. However, I hope that AoE4 will not make the mistake of adhering to progressivism and political correctness and adding African tribes and South East Asian tribes to the game in order to be ‘inclusive and diverse’. And I would like to see a South Indian faction as well. So, yes I think that it is completely fair to include the Spanish, Italians, Portuguese, Polish-Lithuanians(Commonwealth), Vikings, Byzantine Empire into the game no matter what.Īnd yes: Also the Turks, the Koreans, the Persians and the Japanese should be added to the game. However, historical realism dictates that it makes sense for the Spanish and the Italians to be represented as separate nations (as these were big players AS separate independent entities), while it does not make sense to include many other groups that, in fact, did exist, but were absorbed into different empires, such as the many groups in the Middle East and Central Asia. Europe has never been united (and no also Brussels’ Eurocrats will fail).ĭoes that mean that there aren’t any separate nations outside of Europe? Of course not! Thát would be an insane thing to claim! Caesar, Napoleon, Hitler and Stalin attempted to ‘unite’ Europe under a single banner or ideology, but none succeeded. Europe has always consisted of a collection of separate nations who competed with one another and learned from one another. AoE4 attempts to be realistic, as indicated by its documentary style campaigns.Ĭontrary to China, Europe was never dominated by ‘one’ single entity or ethnic group. This is not Eurocentrism, but simply realism. I think that having at least 50% European civilizations is a good idea.
