New image of the upcoming African DLC.

[EliteRifleman]

From what it seems, it is Huase Homecity, what do you think?

[Squamiger]

love the endless sand dunes in the background. really interested to see the new mosque mechanics, i wonder if they will be the same as Ottoman or different?

[Garja]

might just be a campaign image and that's a special/ahestetic only building.

edit: nvm, as OP said it's probably the homecity

If someone told me this is another screenshot of aoe4, I would have believed it...

from what I've watched so far, AOE4 graphics/art isn't too different from AO3 DE

If you also look at this post about the weekly map rotation in aoe2:DE, you can see a glimpse of the picture above:

The building sets made by Big Huge Games for TAD looked way better than these cartoonish ones from DE, from what I've seen so far.

I wonder if they'll release african maps as well. Would definitely make sense, but the risk of these maps being trash is pretty high

Most likely Thar Desert map will be renamed as Sahara.

The only thing I would complain about are the torps, the state capitol and the incan fort. Those are certainly trash.

One thing comes into my mind with this dlc, new mechanics, I wonder if they'd add melee DMG at range again.

Honestly I want a new campign.

I was hoping for a US campaign, but the US civ was just the civ and a few generic changes. An african civ campaign would be well appreciated, even if the campaign depicts the british as the bad guys once again haha

[iNcog]

Edit: so apparently they'll be called the Hausa: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hausa_people

Looks great! Some foot archers, some cav, really can't wait for this one to release.

DE has its issues but it's so cool to see a game that came out in 2005 get new civs.

[n0el]

really hyped for this release, and a great video by Drongo as usual

[Kaiserklein]

Totally not hyped, will just make the game worse again

tbh everything will depend on the design of the civs, if they are interesting maybe its going to be playable but yeah the balance jeez

[deleted_user]

harder to semi-ff when there are so many civs to adapt yeah

probably will get a patch when the new civs drop, which means that whatever they fix in swede/ports will probably be replaced by imbalanced OP hausa/ethiopia
