Yeah, but they were only united roughly a century before the end of the game and were quite relevant before, owning a good chunk of the peninsula the Baleares, Sicily, Sardinia and Roussillon and competing with Italian merchant republics for trade dominance in the Mediterranean. I don’t see Spain making a fuss over this, and even if it did I doubt it would hurt the game so much. There’s been an independantist movement in Scotland and people asking for the unification of Ireland for longer than the game existed, and we had the Celts on release without anyone in the UK batting an eye to my knowledge. There’s also an independantist movement in South Italy reclaiming all the lands of the kingdom of Sicily, and yet the devs released the Sicilians. There are also Tamil and other Dravidian nationalist movements in India clashing with the also nationalist Indian government, and it didn’t prevent the devs from releasing the Dravidians. I know there are independantist troubles in Spain, but come on, the Spanish government isn’t the CCP (and even the CCP censorship happiness is often overestimated). Something like Aragon (or Catalans as I see some people suggesting them), while historical, opens a political can of worms if you have them separated from Spain, and renaming Spain “Castilla” just makes it even worse. All that being said, balance should be taken into consideration even above historical accuracy. Both the caravel and missionary could be shared between Spanish and Portuguese, both of them + the Berbers could have the genitour (maybe replacing cavalry archers) and the organ gun could even be a common unit. Anyway, I agree Iberia should probably get some shared regional UU. Even Andalusians seem to be suggested more often.
The Italian states that were part of the HRE for most of the late Middle Ages (Milan, Genoa, Savoy, Florence, Pise, etc.) should probably remain under the same umbrella no matter what.Īragonese could maybe make a good addition (again in a distant future), but I’ve never seen much hype for it. Personally, I could see Venice and the Papal States as possible additions in a very distant future and many dlc’s focusing on other parts of the world INCLUDING the Balkans and the Caucasus which should probably come before anything else in Europe. There’s a lot of resistence against any further Italian split (or any new Euro civ aside from the Balkans and, if you see it as European, the Caucasus), even more so since the Romans have been anounced for AoE2.
