Standard units appearance diversity
Will the aztecs still have european looking champions carrying zweihanders?

Will the persians still have french looking full-plated heavy cavalry?

This barbarity has to stop in the definitive edition.

PLEASE add a standard unit diversity option.

zweihanders lol i just remembered dark souls, if they work they will show the results. If they keep it like 2013hd the answer will be "equality" so they have their excuses.

That'd be great, but release is only two months away. They won't want to spend all that time and money.

Back when the game came out this was acceptable but nowadays having the same visuals for units is just cheap and silly.

Having only one 'faction' and the same visuals for units will be jarring for new players who are used to the diversity of every other strategy game out there.

Modding may fix the issue. The game needs a steam workshop.

The lack of unit variety is why I went from being hyped to a complete state of "meh"... Seriously, Rise of Nations did it, Civilization did it...

-How many "civs" and unit types did they have? I'm pretty sure this wont officially change because you would want to easily know a 2hander is a 2hander and not have to remember that many more permutations.

You don't need an unique set for each civ, only a few different shared sets: European, Middle-Eastern, Asian, Meso-American, and African, for example.

I actually doubt that would happen. Would be cool if happened.

Since the game is MS Store and Steam exclusive, having a Steam workshop is an unfair move for the MS Store dudes. There will be a mod center in ageofempires.com as Cysion suggested.

It's already officially announced that the Steam Release will lack the Workshop.

I know. Point is, it would be unfair if MS Store dudes had no access to the Steam Workshop for AOE 2 DE.
