What New Nation would you all want to see next (POLL)

[peenerz]

I doubt that a new nation would be added any time soon due to the fact there are already 7 nations but if another could be added, what would you all want to see? Here are my ideas based on the most popular I see floating around

The Russians
Nation Power: National Workforce
Due to a strong united workforce, all buildings take 5% less time to build
Unique Unit
Replaces Raider units starting from Heavy Horse Raider
Cossack -> Heavy Cossack -> Don Cossack -> Cossack Cavalry -> Guard Cossack
More hitpoints and attack (probably 10% both)

The Indians
Nation Power: Indus River Valley
Due to the fertile land India was founded upon, Farms and Caravans generate resources 15% faster
Unique Unit
Replaces Cavalry starting from Horseman
War Elephant -> Heavy War Elephant -> Mahout -> Howdah -> Royal Howdah
30% more hitpoints but same damage
or
Replaces Melee Infantry starting from Hoplite (due to the fact there are already mercenaries with the same name)
Urumi Swordsman -> Rajaput -> Gurkha -> Elite Gurkha -> Sepoy
Have a bit more Health and a bit more Attack (half of the Samurai/Vandal attack and half of the Legionary health)

The Ottomans
Nation Power: Barbary States
Owing to their control of the Mediterranean, the Ottomans gain a +2 daily bonus
Unique Unit
Replaces Melee Infantry starting from Hoplite
Azab -> Janissary -> Heavy Janissary -> Imperial Janissary -> Nizam-I Cedid Infantry
Same as Romans

The Egyptians
Nation Power: Power of the Nile
The length of the Nile and its floodplains allow Egypt to build 1 more farm every other age
Unique Unit
Replaces Cavalry starting from Horseman
Chariot -> War Chariot -> Heavy War Chariot -> Mamluk -> Elite Mamluk
Moves faster than other Cavalry (as fast as Hun warriors)

The Aztecs
Nation Power: Human Sacrifice
The religious importance of prisoners of war means that for every enemy defender killed, a small loot bonus is gained. (Probably starting from 10 gold or food per defender and going up based on age)
Unique Unit
Replaces Melee Infantry starting from Hoplite
Eagle Warrior -> Jaguar Warrior -> Jaguar Knight -> Shorn One -> Santa Anna's Guards
Moves as fast as the Hun Warriors

This is just something I came up with, any suggestions would be welcome! Worked hard on this too lol

Egypt should come first. They are even featured on the game single-player component. Egypt powers should be related to food production. Back at ancient times, the humus-rich river banks of Nile made the Egyptians a grain powerhouse.

And in my priority line there should come Aztecs, Ottomans and Indians, for the sake of variety. Russia is in nearly all historical strategy titles, they can wait a bit more.

 

[AvishK7]

Just a point, Gorkhali (Gurkha) people are Nepali, not Indian, so maybe put Nepal as a nation? (although I'm biased since I'm Nepali)

 

[Rahdiculous]

Indians for sure. They are one of the earliest civilizations and today are ranked quite high in military and today there are billions of them. Plus war elephants army at their disposal.

 

[mwedwards]

Voted India, but like all your suggestions.

 

[Alruin Domini]

I completely agree with the Egyptians should be next, as was mentioned, they even seem to be portrayed in the opening screen. Power wise should be in the resource growth dept. it could be a religiously based thing, due to the fervor of their faith their gods have blessed their land. As a result, fruit tree and farms produce 10-15% more. Additionally, their love of gold has engendered an accelerated development of gold finding and mining technology. This accelerated development rewards them with a 10-15% increase in gold deposit and mine output. Or something of that sort...

 

[peenerz]

Hmm well if that were Egypt's nation bonus then the Indians would need something else. Any suggestions for a new bonus for the Indians or another Egyptian one?

 

[Redgar]

Cossaks were ukrainians, not russians. It's like to offer ninjas as a special chinese unit. But they could be mercenaries, yes. I suggest to add USA instead of aztecs: Nation special power - printing gold. Special unit - aircraft carrier. Everyone can switch to USA for free. Romans can't at all.

 

[peenerz]

Lol they aren't Ukrainian either, they're Cossacks. But they're a large part of Russian history nonetheless. And besides the fact that there aren't any ships in game (maybe in the future), an aircraft carrier isn't present anywhere from the Iron - Enlightenment ages we are talking about here The US Navy was founded in the Enlightenment age as well

 

[VN-ELITE]

good idea, but i think just learn all from Rise of nations and Age of empires then we will have a good game

 

[Redgar]

Cossaks ARE ukrainian they were a part of european empire of poland, Litva and Ukraine. Russia is a part of ancient ukrainian history which was started in Kiev, it's just carefully hidden by russians.

Regarding ships and aircrafts, there is some water in the game and ships can shoot from the far

 

[peenerz]

But the point is aircraft carriers are far beyond the industrial age lol. And no Cossacks aren't ethnically Ukrainian they just live mostly in the Ukraine

 

[peenerz]

I know, but Nepal isn't as famous as India, per se, and in many games I have played Gurkhas are generally Indian units

 

[peenerz]

So nobody has any other idea for Egypt?...

 

[Hume87]

Egypt - Power of the Nile
Can build one or two more farms / or a boost in food production

Source: Rise of Nations (If I remember correctly)

 

[Empire]

So nobody has any other idea for Egypt?...

Not sure if that is possible, but special blessings from the the temple. And like Alruin Domini suggested, an accelerated gold production from mines, ability to have more mines/markets/caravans/more metal/cider from mines/trees.

 

[Awesomedavid0165]

If there are too many nations, new people might get confused! Stop your whining and deal with the nations we already have!

 

[David Pasquinel]

I (and everyone who came here vote and comment) want more nations, for the sake of variety that will only enrich the game experience. If you guys don't want any change, do not come here raining on everybody's parade. It's like opening a Justin Bieber video on YouTube and watching the whole thing just to say that it sucks.

 

[Redgar]

Yes, you tell me, a ukrainian, about cossaks lol read some wikipedia or smth.

By your scale ninjas and samurais were vietnamese.

 

[Redgar]

There should be USA from industrial age, please add to the poll. Romans can't become USA, they may switch to only to tatars and have even bigger armies, but only with bows and pikes.
