iran luxemburg dutch norway ottomans belgium canada . really why not add Vatican City and zimbabwe while were at it .  

Luxemburg = crushed at beginning of war pretty much, and iran was barely involved... if at all. Iraq had an uprising during ww2, but that's all...

 Canada was a big player in the war however. I don't know where the people pick up thier history that they compare the war effort to that of small nations that weren't even involved. This is just not true, and for those of you who don't understand that (regardless of your education.... if it was proper, it would have mentioned this) READ A BOOK. If you know how to turn the pages.

Tpiom:

China, was not occupied so not crushed.. It just lost a lot of people in the war like everyone else. And France did put up some battles before they were occupied, and they had a part in WW1 too so they should be included.

People should also remember that China had been fighting Japan since 1931 when Manchuria was invaded. Europeans consider the invasion of Poland as the start of the war, Americans point at Pearl Harbor. These battles were relatively late compared to campaigns already taking place in the Far East.

A lot of people here are being too narrow minded in the scope of the game. It shouldn't be just about who was a big player in WWII. France was basically a superpower up to WWI...they didn't do so well in the second war, but they still had the vestiges of a global empire until the 1960's. Indochina and the Algerian war for independence saw France combating insurgencies for over a decade, so just because WWII ended quickly for their government doesn't mean France was out of the picture entirely.

aoe4 should be something like the civil war or something.... They have to either make it more mordern or less because if they didn't it'd be the same as aoe 3 (not saying thats a bad thing) but who wants to by the same game again with slightly better graphics at 50 bucks???

The Civil War era is basically the Imperial Age in AoEIII. This would be a huge mistake on ES's part, because the AoE games have a global fanbase. Not many people outside the US would want to play a game based on the American Civil War.

Back on track, another civ to include for AoEIV would be Egypt. They could be designed as the catch-all Middle Eastern civ. Out of all the modern Middle Eastern nations, they were among the first to become independent (1922). They have a deep-rooted history and are still among the top political and economic powers in the Arab world. They would have a good chance at being a decent civ option...but only if Israel isn't included .

Well ,ofcourse u as a canadian think u were a big player , but actually canada came in pretty late in the war and really didnt do THAT much , not saying they didnt do anything , but if ur gonna include them then they have to include all kinds of countrys like finland spain , hungary etc

And ur getting really annoying with ur `read a book`  , also dont forget most people dont care about canada in ww2 u might not like that but thats just the way it is.

I mean im from ex-yugoslavia , so i would love to see them included , but i dont see u mentioning them anywhere , even though like 600 000 + soldiers died that were from yugoslavia , oh wait u dont know the yugoslavian ww2 history ? go read a book !  

Well, I guess fact and nationalism coincide then, because I'm not basing it on the fact I'm canadian. Yes, Yugoslavia may have lots 600,000 men, but hey, GERMANY INVADED THAT COUNTRY. Going on casualties alone is not accurate, and kinda pathetic that it would be treated as such. Going on casualties alone, I'll bet you that china also had a larger impact than the US. Which, we all know, isn't true. A countries impact on a conflict would best be summed up by: 1. Military Contribution 2. Contributions behind the lines (EATS for example)

I guess it's a waste of time to argue about anyway. After all, we all know that an american run company like ES is not interested in adding Canada, or any of those other "Minor" players.

Even though i still do think 600 000 actual soldiers  is a lot either way , and its a waay bigger number than for example canada or finland , even though you shouldnt go on numbers alone , but still....

But anyway , lets stop argueing about this :- )

Yes it was inveted by the Germans not the russians
