I played a lot of Cossacks years ago, and quite a few of these skins hit the nostalgia part of my brain.
I especially love the Tercio, who ditched the more 'goofy' look for the more 'Conquistador' style
The fact that the Prussian Uhlans aren’t called “Czapkas” anymore bodes well for a Polish civ being added
Ooh, that's a good point. With this info, plus the Polish and Danish flags that were found in the files, we might have some exciting additions coming to the civ roster.
@@IronKaiserGaming The Danes could be an interesting addition. Swedes needs them when they get bored fighting the Russians. ;)
Adding Poles and Danes would allow for the creation of some pretty interesting historic event. Since there was a lot of clashes between Swedes, Poles, Danes, Russians and Germans.
@@IronKaiserGamingI'd go nuts if they'd add the Prussians and Austro-Hungarians in there! 😅
WINGED HUSSARS WILL ARRIVE LETS GO
Why can't they do something like this for age 2? They still have the same villager for every civ.
Agreed, I'd love to see more (optional?) customization and unique graphical designs for Age 2. This is one of the reasons why I love Age 3.
@@IronKaiserGamingexactly the same. I love the sheer diversity of civilizations 2 has, but barring certain cases I just cant play when Asian or African civs use European footmen and villagers. It’s a personal preference
I guess one of the reasons (what I took from a short scan of a few forums) is that many people that like AoE2 appreciate the consistency of the unit lines' visuals and base stats across all civs, and they don't like that in AoE 3 they are trying to diversify these unit lines between the civs. So doing exactly that could potentially be met with considerable backlash, and if that were the expected result, why invest recources and time?
I think it’s because the community of 2 doesn’t want it since they can’t counter units apparently due to confusion
i always said that for the monks
Mesoamericans are the only one with an unique monk skin and in the scenario editor theres skins for Asian , Africa and Muslims civilisations that could be given to those civs
I'm so unbelievably happy that all the Civ gets unit distinctive design for their units made me the most happy in my life. My jaw was on the floor and couldn't speak. As explorers skin, they miss the chance of doing Charles The XII. I'm not hating Thor being there, but I'm not a big fan of the previous choice for their explorer. Whoever her name is.
Really glad they're still updating this game. I know this'll be a hot take, but it's my favorite one! I do miss the medieval ages but the amount of diversity and flavor to each of the different civilizations make each of them feel incredibly unique in Age 3. Super excited for Age of Mythology Retold!
Wow man that's the Changes I want the most in AGE III, Unique Costumes and Changes even in minor to European Units.
I make a discussion about that and send to AOE III developers.
It mades a huge change to the game and thanks to the developers and our wishes for that.
I LOVE those skins changes. Just what the game needed. I would personally like more historic uniforms here and there, but overall, very nice update
Game needs rebalance and more actual gameplay content, not just new models after what, half a year of silence from devs?
@@vilemzadrobilek583 I hope they're working on another "Big update" with new mechanics and units for several civs as well as new civs. I would like to see the Polish-lithuanian commonwealth or Korea
@@vilemzadrobilek583 you know they are busy, right? they cannot out a massive update each month, specially since Microsoft wants AoM Retold and more AoE2 coming out at the same time
@@elduquecaradura1468 To be fair, each game has their own studio, so its not a conflict of manpower.
I love the emphasis on them diversifying the roster's of the base civs.
I love the direction they took Portugal's unique look. They look like guerillas straight out of the Peninsular War against Napoleonic france. It even fits how fucking annoying it is fighting against kiting jinetes.
they have the uniforms and names of the legion portugaise, a Portuguese unit fighting for the french, mainly in Napoleon's invasion of russia. they were regulars, not guerillas.
Zweihanders do get a new skin, but only from guard and up. it adds a fancy cloak with an Imperial eagle.
Thanks for the heads-up! Credited you in the pinned post!
Man, those unique skins are really cool.
Will you make a review for the new cards for Revolutions?
Hm... I hadn't planned on it, but if there's demand...
What Revos are getting new cards?
@@alpha34098 Canada, with French, British and Haudenosaunee cards
Finland, Russian and Swedish cards
Colombia, Romania and USA got some new cards
Man your enthusiasm is contagious. Great video.
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words!
Found the video through reddit, it's a really good one. Thanks for showcasing this, this game truly has the best art style out of any RTS game. Will definitely check out your other vids, you got yourself a subscriber!
E: I personally really like the Dutch Blue Guards. They look incredible. And yeah the new Voltigeurs and Needle Gunners look a lot more professional, old Skirms look sorta weird alongside the professional Musks, they're very much based on guerrillas and militias and idk. The new French and German skirms look soo much better. What I'd like is for them to also have unique icons too. Give us the Pickelhaube in an icon! It'd look great!
Also the Maltese Commandery units (ie the Order Hussar) should have unique models too, sort of to remind you these aren't normal Hussars, these guys are Knights of St John. At least a Cross in their clothes. It would do a lot
Thanks for the really kind words! Agreed on the icons, and double-agree on the pickelhaube!
Yes, it'd be cool if the order units were also changed. Maybe one of these days.... If you haven't already checked it out, there are some mods in the mod browser that overhaul the units' appearance even more thoroughly than we're seeing with this update. I use the Unique Historical Army Skins mod, and it adds in unique skins for the various units throughout the ages for (currently) the European and Asian powers. It's a work in progress, and they'll no doubt need some time to fix the mod after this patch releases, but it's pretty cool nonetheless!
I like all these skin updates, it gives more uniqueness to European units.
Great vid. I hope they make the same adjustment in the AoE 2 as well.
Really nice overview 😮
Thank you for the kind words! That's really nice!
Cool video, man! Keep it up!!!
Many skins remembered me about Napoleon Total War and Cossacks
now the red coats looks like red coats
06/15 UPDATE: Some extra aesthetic things have been added to the game today, which are pretty cool!
1. Icons have been added to the game for many of the unique explorers. A very welcome development indeed!
2. The Roman Explorer has been given Latin voicelines! He uses voicelines from the Return of Rome's AoE2 Roman civilization now. I had put out a mod a couple of weeks ago addressing this myself, called the Classical Latin Voice Lines for the Roman Explorer mod. I'm really glad they made this change, it makes the Roman explorer much more satisfying (But, since I put all the work into that mod and frankly, I think my own voice lines are more comprehensive and better capture classical Latin pronunciation, I'm going to keep the mod up and rename it to the Better Classical Latin for the Roman Explorer).
3. The Hussar Devotchka explorer for the Russians has been removed and replaced with a skin called Mila the Bear. Yes, it's a giant Bear in a pink skirt. :p I'm guessing the devs are having fun with us. TBD on which one (or both?) will actually release with the patch.
Also, I forgot to showcase the Italian Pavisier, but they do get a unique skin as well after researching Guard Pavisier. Furthermore, the Doppelsoldner/Zweihander DOES get an extra cosmetic feature once the Guard technology and the Zweihander technology in the church have been researched. An Austrian imperial Eagle is emblazoned on the cape of the unit, and some extra gold flourishes are added to the armor. Thanks @PenguNL for the heads-up on that one!
age 2 dutch skirmisher get a new fancy hat
I actually liked that Devothcka skin, shame
wow! what a beautiful patch! AoE 3 is a such a beautiful game!!
Agreed, it's gorgeous.
Loved those new skins!
I think, they should change the unit portraits especially the Church/Mosque units instead of reusing the same generic unit portraits.
I think they should implement this two colours scheme as they have done for British redcoat to the entire game. Your team color should be the accent colour instead the dominant one. Adds a lot of depth to the units.
Thank you!
Zheng Yi Sao, Wife of Zheng Yi. She was later became Lin Zexu’s officer to help him fight off the British during Opium War.
More content Kaiser! Moreeee!
Loving the vampire hunter look of those Portuguese crossbowmen!
hey, you forgot show guard pavasier (age up politician) from italians and dutch swiss pikeman (Waardgelders cad) looks amazing !
Woot!!finally!! Amazing patch!!!!!!! that's my dream, so historical accurate! that's why i always play AOE3 DE over aoe2!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You forgot the Italians can get their Pavessia to Imperial now if that is anything new
those explorers cosmetic mean we propably getting a new Cosmetic pack DLC with the july patch
That's what I'm thinking too.
18:46 "Cowboys" actually originate from the south of the Iberian peninsula, were taken by the Spanish to their colonies, and then from Mexico into the U.S.A.
In the Portuguese case however, this is not related to that, but rather a reference to the Caçadores, who used Brown/Army Green outfits as a proto-camouflage in the drier landscapes of Spain during the Peninsular war.
Thor skin, perhaps a hint for Age of Mythology Retold
It apparently uses the same voice lines as AoM.
the French are so wonderfully napoleonic
Mmhmm, exactly. You gotta love it.
Just the Portuguese cowboy crossbowmen weird me out, I guess they wanted a uniform that fits more the industrial age but I wished they just got the skins the besteiros from the consulate have.
@@gaiusiulius7724 probably is done to represent better the presence of Portuguese in arid lands like Africa, India and Brazil?
@@gaiusiulius7724 I love them. Totally unexpected. I would love to see a new portrait for them.
I concur, we definitely need some manly German men-men desperatly! I agree Friedrich Barbarossa would do quite nicely, other good options in my opinion would be Otto Von Bismarck or Helmuth von Moltke the Elder!
Great video
Thank you!
The Counter-Dragoons have a positive multiplier against other dragoons, they are right
Good to know!
23:04 I hope there will be more new Civs ! 😌👍🏻😎😉
these skins look sick
Yeah, they're pretty boss!
We need the ability to build FORT WALLS in AGE3 Multiplayer!!
9:00 Yes, it does !!! 😉😎👍🏻😌
wow, this dutch change makes that if you can make more stradiots in the bar are even better vs infantry, those will destroy infantry with ease
edit: ok, I hope the Thor explorer throws normal lightning when it shoots, and the special hability (both vs guardians and most units) being him throwing his hammer, that would be awesome and hilarious
also, does the special european upgrades affect new mercenaries units? I mean, future Black Riders that you do with Portugal after you research "The Order of the Cross and the Sword" will spawn with that skin and new stats? dutch Stradiots get more of the same, spanish Irish Brigadiers, etc
definitely seems worthy to check throuroghly
That explorer is more like a Hensir (the hammer wielding Norse Heroes from AoM) than Thor
Hello I have a question for you nothing come with this patch for USA Civs ???
I loved my reaction when after I agreed with you that Barbarossa is a bit anachronistic, you said that the Swedes are getting Thor 😂
Kinda sad when it comes to Sweden not getting Carolean infantry.
Also quick note for future reference: "Topçu, Çelebi & Şahin" is pronounced "Topchu, Chelebi and Shaheen", Ç and Ş are the whole "Ch & Sh" sounds respectively.
What do you mean by Carolean Infantry? There is Carolean within the game unless you're talking about something else?
Thanks, I'll try to keep those pronunciation tips in mind.
What to do for black texture bugs in the skin mod
May i suggest using "devasd" instead of "speed always wins" ? because it doesn't affect other players😉😉
Hussar girl is Nadezhda Durova. Distinguished cavalry officer of the Russian Imperial Army and a crazy cat lady.
Does anyone know when the July patch is coming out ? 😅😭🤔
what resolution are you using? My 1920x1080 doesn't look very detauiled with faces and detauil on the coats. Textures is set to high. Its that supersampling option that does the magic? Mine is set to 100%
Hmm... weird. I'm also 1920x1080, textures set to high. I'm not sure why it wouldn't look sharp for you. I don't even see supersampling as an option on my end.
Those are some nice fucking outfits, wish i could have all of them, IRL obviously.
I am really excited !!! 😂😅👍🏻😉😎😌
The black rider needs a better skin and icon. I really think they didn't do this beautiful armored unit justice at all
I hope one day they add flags and drums units and I hope too they improve smoke animations lol.
They already have. The house of Hannover has a drummer unit that boosts speed and attack for units. They also have a tech that can place down a flag, like the US and Mexico.
Hi , cool review , i have a problem tho , i don't have those new visuals in my game.
Any idea why ?
Cheers!
They are not in-game yet. They will be coming with the next patch, which releases in July (early July, I think).
@@IronKaiserGaming i saw the new looks oon otomans. very very cool. thanks for your answer
They could have gone with the Pskov Dragoons for the Russian church dragoons. The Pskovskiy Dragoons were a significant dragoon regiment during the Napoleonic Wars.
Yeah those Prussian Dragoons should be added for the Germans (which lack a Dragoon Unit because of that War Wagon that no one wanted) since Prussia is part of Germany in the future. Yes, they can Access the Chaveuleger (which is far more better than the Dragoon in many ways) with a Shipment, but those are Mercs that cost too much Gold and Pop so they're not supposed to be total replacements for the normal Dragoon
3:26 Actually they have a 1.2x multiplier against light cavalry ! 😂😅
Ç = ss. I really hoped they would reserve a Cangaceiro unit and a Bandeirante unit for the Brazilians. We deserve a new american civ just like Mexico and USA.
wish they would add more unit diversity and authenticity to Age of Empires IV as well.
Why is there no online co op for AOE3DE while AOE2DE and AOE4 have it?
I thought it's gonna Be as good as existing cosmetic mods. But this is a good start
Let me know if you agree, but one thing that always bothered me about AOE 3 was the incongruity of the archaic units with the more modern units, almost like the Pikeman, Archers, halbardiers should be pushed back an age to Exploration. This would remedy the fact that AOE 3 is the only AOE to really have no military units in the first age (militia aside)
I agree that incongruity has always been a weird part of 3. The age of sail, exploration, and colonies didn't use bows very much. The longbows are the worst for me, ha ha! Your solution makes sense.
Cool
Oh my
Wait, no new Spanish and French explorer skins? How come? Also, new to the channel, nice content. Subscribed.
The French get the Marianne skin. The Spanish don't get a new explorer skin this time.
The game will be great. What day is this update released?
No news on when it's releasing. I'd expect it any day now.
I'm still play in AOE3 DE, with more skins are better. I want AOE2 too for future Public Updates like regional unit skins, unique castle for all civilizations, more unique units, best balancing and more.
i also want Austria Hungery
i hope they are making a new DLC i totally wish to have a south america DLC with the Great Colombia, Argentina and Brazil as playable civs and not just revolutions, those factions may use the Federal Card mechanic like USA and Mexicans, and perhaps some peculiar revolution mechanic in a similar fashion to mexicans but maybe done in a different Way.
They will be Civilization Pack like United States and Mexico.
Time to come back to aoe3
Do it! I'm having a blast learning this game, and it's got more goodies than ever!
How do I get these skins? I just opened the game and it still looks like the old skins!!
These skins are coming in the next patch, which is coming sometime this month- not sure when.
Bro this is my peborete game ever
British redcoats unfirtunately stiil looks the same, do you know why is that?
Yes, the redcoat skins are tied to the Thin Red Line technology unlocked by the Unique Church shipment. Get that tech, and the redcoats will look different through the ages, including in Age 2!
@@IronKaiserGaming Thank you for your answer !
Does anybody know a release date for this update?
No known release date. I think updates are normally on Tuesdays or Thursdays, but it could be any day now.
Is this even out yet ? haven’t seen it in game at all
Yes, it came out a few weeks ago.
Very cool.can you tell you something bro.this game is abelable on Android.pls till me.and tech me.
No new skins for México nor native civil? 😢
Not this patch, although revolutionary civs did get some new cards
do you use a special setting to zoom in that close?
Not sure. I do have the "Enable Ludicrous Zoom" on in the Graphics Options Beta Settings, but that's for zooming out, not in. If you're talking about the thumbnail, I boot up a vs. AI game and use the Photo Mode to zoom up close and get cool pictures.
@@IronKaiserGaming anyway when we expect this update to come?
Is there any new visual design for Asia countries?
They already have unique skins over the europeans
@@svenkuechler1930 Oh thank you bro!
Only the Europeans.
@@FeriandyRaynandoSembiring ok thank U~
Nice video :) ottomans have unique spy :)
Wished age of empires 2 de had this treatment
I have a suspicion it's only a matter of time. We'll see...
And the new imperial pavisiers??
I forgot to show them off, but yes, the pavisiers do have a unique skin as well!
Is this a fan mod or developers patch?
This is official, developer made. These skins are coming in the July patch!
Think what if we have aoE3 but the grafik were like from aoE4 that would be cool😮
You know, your pronunciation of Dvoryanin ain't half bad.
Thanks! I try - I don't always nail the pronunciations, but I give it my best shot. :)
spain got shafted on this one
The Ottoman artillery now uses the unique Ottoman skins by default.
Your voice sounds very similar to SamuraiRevolution
I'll take that as a compliment!
@@IronKaiserGaming It is! He was very entertaining until he made his channel jesus aoe3 and didn't recognize when DE team fixed launch problems
is this update already released?
No, it's coming in July.
Пору́чик - чин, воинское звание младшего офицерского состава, соответствующее званию лейтенанта. В XVIII-XIX веках был распространён орфографический вариант названия «порутчик».
Poruchik - rank, military rank of a junior officer, corresponding to the rank of lieutenant. In the XVIII-XIX centuries, the orthographic version of the name "Porutchik" was widespread.
По поводу дворян. С одной стороны я скажу, что в принципе подходит, но, это убивает эстетику, что на службе у Русского Царства, а позже и у Российской империи служили тюркские (Преимущественно татарские) дворяне, к которым обращались по титулу "Мурза". Мурза - аристократический титул у тюркских государств. Российская Империя не стала вмешиваться в порядки татар и дала им возможность проявить себя. И, это выглядело круто.
Regarding the Dvoryanin(nobleman). On the one hand I will say that in principle it fits, but, it kills the aesthetics that in the service of the Russian Kingdom, and later of the Russian Empire served Turkic (Predominantly Tatar) nobles, who were addressed by the title "Murza". Murza is an aristocratic title in Turkic states. The Russian Empire did not interfere in the orders of the Tatars and gave them the opportunity to prove themselves. And, it looked cool.
Дополню по поводу "Дворянина". Я вспомнил, что были гравюры, изображавшие русских конных лучников, перенявших традиции конного стрелкового боя у воинов Золотой Орды. У них была защита в районе затылка, схожая с тем, которую делали Чукчи воины.
'll add about Dvoryanin. I remembered that there were engravings depicting Russian mounted archers who adopted the tradition of mounted shooting from the warriors of the Golden Horde. They had protection around the back of their heads, similar to that made by the Chukchi warriors.
I have waited since October 2020 to get a Qing dynasty cap on my Chinese explorer, and it's on a girl....I can live with it, but I'd prefer it to literally by that Qing dynasty official you see walking around the home city, the historically accurate Qing official. I'd pay 20 bucks for JUST that visual.
Oh
Why nations' flags are modern, not as they were?
Maybe due to copyright ? The Ivan terrible time Russian flag is literally similar to current Russian coat of arms
The British flag seems to be correct, but some other flags are wrong as you say. For example, the Swedish flag is currently light blue which it only was after 1906. Before that, it was dark blue.
@@malkolmlind8598 , yeah Swedish and Russian flags - what caught my eye at the first place.
I wish explorers can be used by AI too.
Agreed.
when will this update come?
No news on that yet. It's called the July patch, so I'd say late July at the very latest. But since the PUP is already out, I'd guess early July or even very late June.
Thanks bro
I love the vgus but I really hate some of these name changes.
To be honest, I rather like them. Is there any name in particular that bothers you, or is just the name changes in general?
Spanish and Germans should get Charles the 5th
Some of those get Imperial only skins
Which ones?
@@IronKaiserGaming Generic crossbows have an imperial skin (no idea if they had before since generic skirms have had an imperial skin for a while), the Sentinel has one as well, the Dopps get a different guard skin if you send their church tech, the Rekrut gets a different rifle in Imperial, the old guard also has a different color scheme than the grenadier you can build in the foundry for the French, the Sipahi skin changes with the mosque tech and I think almost all American and Mexican unique units have an imperial skin.
Weird that the Germans get the Needle gun and the French do not, as historically the French invented it first.
