GeneralN20:

Denmark could have the Orlogskibb as a unique unit. It's a sort of ship, could replace the Frigate.

They certainly could, I'll add that into the civilization.

A bonus to Sweden?
The Swedes and the Finns brought the loghouses to North America. (Later widely used by Canadian lumberjacks (at least in my prejudices)) so a bonus to the swedes can be something to do with houses. Maybe that their houses gives a small bonus some resource but cost more wood or gives more population or something like that. Develop?

Okay, I have an idea for that:

House will be called "Loghouse" for the Swedish, their loghouses will cost more resources to build, but in exchange will have the ability to be stronger to attacks, increases the HP of all the units by one point per house, and units can garrison (although not attack) from them.

I think that would be a sweet bonus, what  do the rest of you think?

I'ts an awsome idea! But it could be caled "torp"

yeah, you're right... But longhouses havent been used since the vikings, if im correct...

but how about this: the swedes can build X longhouses ( depending on the pop support, like if the pop support is 20 they can build 5), wich have the advantages that general came with, and then 10 10pop torps, wich has no advantages... for balancing reasons...

That could be an interesting addition, but it seems a little unnecessary.

I think we should only have 1 scandivian civ. Also, the consulate for europeans is a bad idea. I think the civs should be Italy (read my post), a scandnavan cointry (Probably Sweden) and either the Inca or an African civ. (I"ve seen some good ideas for Africa, this could be cool)

If it isnt in here, here is my idea fr italy.

First of all, there are 2 unique units (Also RG) and a special healer.

Elemeti

Cost: 125 food, 175 gold

HP: 450 30% RR

Speed: 6.50

Hand Attack: 20 2 Area 3x Infantry

Siege: 25

Papal Guard

Cost: 100 food, 25 gold

HP 180

Speed: 5

Hand Attack: 14 x3 Cav x2 LI x2 HI

Siege: 40

So you would scrap the Papal Gaurd pikes for RG and have the unit above.

Cardinal (insert name)

These guys would be like daimyos, but can only train Papal Guards and Elemeti. They would boost the attack by 10%, but cost 250 gold to replace at cathdral (Italy's church). They would ship with some papal guards. They can also heal units too.

Also, italy would also age differently.

The first is how they age. They would choose a supporting city. Each would provide a bonus. However, when u age, u can choose a different one for a different bouns and a bigger one, or stick wit the same one for a bigger bouns. For example, a ff'er could choose venice for Age2 for better gold gathering, and switch to Rome in Age3 for better soldiers.

Rome would boost soldiers, Venice would boost fishing boats and gold villagers, and maybe Milan or Florence could boost buildings.

There is one BIG problem with Italy. I've mentioned it before - Italy wasn't unified at the time of Age of Empires 3. Neither was Germany, but the German civ is modelled after, and has the flag of Prussia. Italy should be modelled after, and have the flag of the most powerful Italian state, which was either Naples/Sicily, or Piedmont-Sardinia.

Felt like write something: WANTED CIVS (this is a summary of some sort! Note that i'm summaring the first page):

so you wont have to look through the whole thread, more info of the civs is on pg1

• Inca (main conversation.. or debate)
• Sweden (main conversation)
• Denmark(main conversation)
• Poland
• Austria
• Italy

and the barely mentioned:

• Zulu
• Ashanti

Wanted maps:

• Prussia.
• Waterloo.
• Balkans.
• Iberia.
• Pyrenees
• British Isles.
• Italian Peninsula.
• Scandinavia OR Fennoscandia ( a litt correction from me)
• Barbary Coast
• Alps

Wanted minors, (from africa, oceania and europe, im still only summarising pg1)

European:

• Sami
• Saxons
• Swiss
• Basques
• I guess the Belgians kinda would count here too*

Africa:

• Ethiopia.
• Egypt.
• Congo.
• Angola.
• *Belgium (Like the Jesuits in TAD).
• Ouaddai
• Bornu.

Oceania:

• Maori
• (cant belive General left this out) Aboriginals

On your civ section, you've left out Italy, and Austria-Hungary wasn't formed till 1867 or thereabouts, so you need to put Austria. And add Morocco to the Afircan Minor Civs, and Bavarians to European minor civs.
