need more real African factions: like Nubia, Ephiopia and Punt + Nok, Nsibidi and Dhar Tichitt

I'd like to see the real historican sun-Saharian Africa

Hey genius, none of these countries are sub saharan, not even close. The sub saharan total war would be mud huts and sticks

Maybe DLC? Just looking at the included factions (Egypt, Canaanites, Hittites) it seems like the map is going to encompass the Eastern Mediterranean, which means they have only two direction they can expand, East into the Iranian Plateau and maybe into India (the latter seems a little too far) or south into Africa (Ethiopia, Sudan, etc.). They could also go West but I don't they'll go farther than Greece because there really wasn't anything there in Europe further west than that at that time.

just look at map:
1. Nubia is the closest neighbour of Egypt called as black pharaohs and having own pyramids
2. both Nubia and Ephyopia are connected to Egypt by Nile
3. Egypt had a regular sea trade with Punt
all three countries were well known for Egyptians
even more the daughter of the Cleopatra and Julius Caesar named Cleoptra was married at a Nubian Pharaoh and had a daughter named Cleopatra too

Just look at a map lol i agree. i don't understand why this game gets some much heat Rome 2 no one is debating Romans 3k no one debating china shogun 2 no ones debating Japan but it seem when it comes to Kemet (Egypt) their are people that don't believe that this is a game centered in northeast Africa and the people that live here are African.

Nok was around 2000km away from Egypt. I don't know how you would fit that in there.

I think the map could logically be extended to Sudan and Ethiopia and maybe even as far as down as Somalia.

[jonoliveira12]

Nok culture is too far West, so it is very unlikely they will ever be seen, specially since we do not even have any clue to their social structure, or capacity for warfare, in this period.
We would also MASSIVELY struggle with stretching the map all the way to the N-iger, with no other known cultures in between to actually fill it.

Punt makes more sense.

Nubians are already in, in this period, they had been conquered by Egypt, so you will have Nubian units in Egypt.

Nubia would be cool, their archers where famous

Gotta keep it real here, the market forces at play just don't bode well for what you're suggesting.

3K sold phenomenally well because of China, and Western interest in the Three Kingdoms.

There is widespread interest in Ancient Egypt, both in China and the West.

No one in China or the West has any idea who Nok or Punt is, nor does anyone really care about Nubia beyond its relation to Egypt.

You need to look at a map you dumbass.

Yeah i don't know how far they will go south... Eastern Lybia and Nubia do make sense to include, but Punt is supposedly a ways down at bottom of red sea near horn of Africa....apart from the Nile and those settlements set at out on the Red Sea i suspect you are going to have whole lot of emptiness everywhere else.

The Aegean and Mesopotamia would make the most sense to start with. Mycenaeans, Assyrians, Babylonians, maybe Elam at a stretch. So Greece and the rest of the fertile crescent at a minimum i reckon.
