Lion.Kanzen Posted May 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 It seems to be based on the idea of an old mod I played on original AoK that was called the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lion.Kanzen Posted May 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 Did anyone notice that they put a Vietnamese faction in the Port of Age I (AoE I running on AoE II)? So in AoE II we will have AoE I with Romans and AoE II and in both we will have a late Roman faction. It is quite confusing. So they forget about Age of empires DE and pass that content in DLC mod mode to AoEII. On top of that, they compensate the Vietnamese public for their loyalty to AoEI.

You click on AOE1 and you get the older civs. You click on AOE2, you get the medieval civs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scholae Palatinae It would have been better. Decisions made on the basis of the "Cool" rule: above knowledge. These decisions are made more by a marketing specialist than a historian. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't hate it, but the naming is awkward, needed something more in line with the era, which I am uncertain of. However a mounted commander is far more useful than a foot one. Honestly a bigger complaint is that they switched out the helmet for an imperial Gallic helmet with the transverse crest, that honestly jars more, but again I guess they wanted style points since that is immediately recognizable as a centurion. As to why they might not have gone with super heavy infantry is because Teutonic knights exist already filling that spot. So they went with a stronger version of one of Age II's most notable units the Paladin and tweaked it. To my knowledge Centurions are one of the most iconic units from Age I, so overall likely they were trying to capture that. Did they succeed, maybe, only time will tell.

Actually, I am fine with a cavalry for their UU. It's the late Empire after all. But it should have been the Scholae Palatina. The one in bronze scales on the far right.
