Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition: After giving our players a new way to play for free in 2023, we are excited to reveal a new DLC with new civilizations.

If they actually release even more DE civs it will officially outnumber the Vanilla civs :( Meanwhile the 8 DE civs they already released are still OP and painful to play against

expected:
-a new 4.5 speed musket thats even stronger than anything else so far- maybe one that deals splash in melee or has a bonus against other muskets.
-an artillery that counters cavalry (and not just like hand mortars countering siege cav now).
-charged attack or promotions on an economic unit.
-more skirms armed with mortars, rockets or other explosives.
-shadowtech walls/outposts as a civ bonus

@dansil92 personally hoping we see a change in the new civ BS meta and instead of broken muskets see broken Hus instead. 7.5 speed, MOBA ability to go 9.5 speed, and increased range for each kill promotions. We've made to many OP musks, but OP hus is just deli rn.

tbh we've not really been treated to a super goon yet. javelin cav were a bit overtuned for a while but we've not yet experienced something to outclass howdah in stats for half the cost yet

We don't need more civs... We need UI changes!

True, but this game needs to be finished well. A good UI is needed for that and keeps more people in the game. More players = more ingame purchases.

It all starts with a sticked friends list and online indicators that are not linked to Steam imo. It's insane that we still not have this in 2024.
