Before you post your thread, consider these:
The evidence most used by Japanese supporters is EDIT: Confirmed as not a playable civ. May have Ronin as mercenary units. The evidence most used by Dutch supporters is EDIT: Confirmed as a playable civ. The evidence most used by German supporters are several screenshots, such as EDIT: Confirmed as a playable civ. The evidence most used by Italian supporters is EDIT: Confirmed as not a playable civ. Possible in expansion, may be in game at some point. The evidence most used by Portuguese supporters is EDIT: Confirmed as a playable civ. America (USA) has been confirmed as not a playable civ in multiplayer/skirmish games, but may be a playable civilization in the campaign. You may be able to play with a Native civ in the campaign, as there have been reports of helping the Aztecs fight the Spanish, etc. There are trains in EDIT: Trains have been confirmed as 4th level and later trade units. We have seen big ships-and small ones-mainly what we know is from So please people, don't spam the forum with repetitive threads.

Will the post you make contribute to the AoE3 discussions? Do not post things that will make no contribution, such as trying to talk about things that should be in Community Forum or GD or any other forum.
If you say something like "OMG2 TH3RE ARE GUN5 1N 7H1S GAM3!!! ANY1 3LS3 N0TIC3!!?!11" you WILL get flamed. Everyone has seen the screenshots, only point out new ideas or intricacies.
Several subjects have been talked about. I have included some of the most talked about-and most repeated-here. If it is in this list, post in one of the threads. Don't make a new one.
These are the civilizations that are confirmed so far.
Just like in every forum here, search is very important. Before the pickup, it was slightly less important, but with the number of posts coming in now it is essential. Search keywords that could be in the same vein as your subject. For example, if you will post on slavery, search "Slavery" "Slaves" etc.
Please, try to speak intelligibly. Make sure you know what you're talking about, and check your information. Make sure OTHER people know what you're talking about, as well.
