Persia for Age of Empires 3 Definitive Edition?

[Aristoxenus]

Could Persia be added next as a Vanilla Civilization for the game?
(I am thinking a lot about Iran about whats happening there, the unrest for Mahsa Amini so I thought about bringing this ancient civilization into the discussion of Aoe 3)

What Dynasty should it represent (mostly)?
What flag?
What Shah will represent it?
And more questions

Don't be shy about telling your ideas, all ideas are welcomed

Persia would be really nice, alongside other Middle Eastern civilisations with their own unique mechanics and architecture.

If they manage to give us even one more civ, please let it be the Persians. They deserve it.

Yeah, explain more of the mechanics you would love to see for this amazing faction. The more the best

They really do yes, Persia and maybe the Armenians or Georgians (as most of the other factions were either under ottoman rule or already represented by the indians in the game)

I was thinking mamelukes or Sikh Empire but I don't know if they were independant, also it has to be a combo of a 2 nations from the same area ( you can't add Persia and Brazil in the same pack for example)

I think it should be represented with safavids until the third age. But in industrial age should change into the Afsharid (the upgrades for units would reflect this visual change, perhaps even with the names).

Their ruler would be Nader Shah Afshar.

Their flag it could be this: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e5/Nader_Shah_Flag.svg/1920px-Nader_Shah_Flag.svg.png

Their Consulate options (as Asian civ) would be: Ottomans, Russians, Italians and Portuguese.

Their wonders would be: The Shah Mosque, the Golestan Palace, Gur-e- Amir Mausoleum and Birjand Castle

And for minor civs (represented with "natives" or Middle-Eastern royal houses or mercenaries at least) I would like to see Arabian, Iranians, Georgians and Armenians.

Persian is perfect for filling the last ring of civilization chain in Eurasia. If there's other new civilizations, I hope they could be for the Africa, North Africa and sub-Sahara.

they should be strong in naval. the persians had very good naval against greece.

There could be a feature that you can choose x Dynasty to advance , you could have the option of selecting
-Back to Safavid
-Afsharid
-Zand

A bit like Mexico s'mechanics but with an Imperial Dynasty rather than a new country
Your ruler will be reskin depending on the Dynasty you choose
But that might not work with asian wonder systems thou.

For consulate yes these civs you mentionned could be added but like Japan, choosing a "Native option" like "Iranic Isolationist" which would allow to recruit and benefits from native iranic units and features, example "Tajik Reinforcements" or "Afghan militiamen"

Yes, new natives and mercenaries could be added and be added to the Persian roster as cards some cards will allow you to train unique factional mercs and natives

Safavid dynasty as one of "gunpowder empire" would fit perfectly into AoE3

In DLC together with Poland
