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

 

[Whatwhat]

are you implying ninja werent vietnamese?

 

[Iwantbettershipments]

I agree that India is a good idea, although maybe Mexico, which is called Mexico but looks like Aztec culture early on. I agree with the Egypt idea from Empire too. This way, most cultures of the world are covered except Africa. Although I think they will have to put in the US because of the Industrial age snapshot containing american elements and space shuttles in preview, maybe you have to have a revolution in the enlightenment age or Industrial age to get it. That would North America is covered. I think they should have most major cultures, even if not a gazillion countries.

 

[Iwantbettershipments]

As for India, I think the elephants should replace the current mercenaries, but rather Persian War Elephants be the mercenary version and Mahouts shouldn't be mercenary.

North Korean.
My mistake, chief

I voted egypt. But I support all about egypt nation power as other players suggestsuggested they are best known for there food production. Maybe increased food production and ability to upgrade buildings that require gold with food but double amount or sell food.food . for gold.

 

[General Alexander]

One of the world's deadliest Regiment, specialised in mountain warfare is Gorkha Regiment of Indian Army. Mostly operating at Ladakh, Dras sector & Siachen Glaciar (world's highest battlefield).

 

[General Alexander]

India boasts in ancient scriptures (vedas) & has rich cultural heritage.
Perk : Research cost reduced to 35% at Library technologies.

 

[Rahdiculous]

Great idea!

 

[PerserTeppich]

I would suggest Persia as a further nation to choose. It was first world empire in the world. Not for nothing it is one of the most popular nations at age of empires!

 

[peenerz]

By your logic Native Americans are white American. Just because another ethnic group lives in a country dominated by another ethnic group doesn't mean they are the same ethnic group. smh

Good idea, I like yours but sorta modified it to be more balanced (at least in my eyes)

 

[peenerz]

Hmm maybe you can give me an idea for the Nation power and the unique unit?

From Wikipedia
"Cossacks (Ukrainian: козаки́, koza'ky; Russian: казаки́ pronounced [kəzɐˈkʲi] or каза́ки [kɐˈzakʲɪ], kazaki are a group of predominantly East Slavic people who became known as members of democratic, semi-military communities,[1] predominantly located in Ukraine and in Russia."

Bumping so this topic will not get buried by other less relevant threads.

FWIW I'm a white male American, I currently play Japanese and Chinese. I think that Egyptian should be added. My ancestral heritage is Welsh/English. I don't particularly have anything invested in Egypt.... In response to general Alexander's suggestion of 35% research discount... That would be a very extreme discount. Consider that the highest percentage anywhere else is a 20% healing from a wonder... Or the ability to loot approx 50% from farms... Something like a 10% discount might make more sense, that would stack of course with Notre Dame... Though it's a little odd to have these historically notable "wonders" that are completely out of place in the nations that utilize them....

 

[David Pasquinel]

Bumping up...

 

[Denquin]

Why not the Spanish?

 

[finger]

Mexico jaajajajajajaja

 

[serenity4jwr]

Actually, the U.S. Navy came into being during the Gunpowder age.

 

[klogg]

Egyptians are the first but where is the persian empire for next nation, the persians definitely was a great nation for a long time, and they should have a place in Dominations...
