[GoatScream]

Will you be able to use these three new civs on regular unranked games in regular aoe2?

Yes, and the people taht got early access also said as much.

3 new civs, cannot be played on Ranked, can be played in every other game mode.

Ornlu did a video on that https://youtu.be/JLO6bvc2Ww8?si=WS8rLuU2TT6OAYEf

Apparently those civs are only available in unranked + if antiquity mode enabled.

Zetnus said assets in editors is contained in the dataset (Think of it as a library). ROR is not in the same dataset as 2DE, but BfG is in the datasets and is available within 2DE editor

Yes, but I think they'll be blacklisted from multiplayer due to how broken their design is, particularly with Athenians and Achaemenids.

Correct, for ranked MP and Quick Play, they're excluded.

Perhaps I should've been more specific.... I think they might end up blacklisted by players in community custom games as well, due to the same reasons why they're blacklisted from ranked and quick play.

Beats the point of having a chill game if someone has too big of a leg up on everyone else, just because of civ selection. But I guess it depends on just how big of a difference it is.

No, they won't, if you do not want them, just do not tick on Antiquity Mode. I can see people doing Customs with it on precisely to play those civs against the old ones.

But are you able to pick them on the regular aoe2 mode without having to change to the chronicles mode?

Yes if you tick on Antiquity Mode, but NEVER in Ranked, no matter what.

Yep. The only difference is that on the AoE 2 mode the Chronicles civs are listed after the AoE 2 civs on the civ selection screen

Ticking Anitquity Mode only enables Oysters and Wood Trading from the TC. It's a setting you can use with the AoE 2 civs as well without Chronicle civs involved

Oh, I heard it enabled the new civs too.
