''Age Of Empires III'' African expansion questions

Posted: 16 Jul 2021 06:00 PM PDT

Greetings, I just saw the 2 teaser images (the Hausa and Ethiopia home city pictures) which make me very excited for the (long-awaited) upcoming African expansion pack. That said, I have some questions I would like to have answered here preferably by an official developer.

1-Will there be a 3rd civ besides the Hausa and Ethiopia, plus what is it gonna be (hoping it's the Zulu, Bantu or something else from South Africa)? The previous 2 expansion packs had 3 civs each (War Chiefs- Aztec, Iroquois, Lakota; Asian Dynasties- China, Japan, India). Besides, a 3rd civ would round up the total playable factions number in the game to 20 which is very good.

2-Will there be a new home city background picture and music theme for the main menu?

3-Will there be new animals (e.g. zebras) and skirmish maps set in Africa?

4-Will there be new gameplay mechanics unique to the African factions?

5-What is the reason for picking the Hausa to represent West Africa? Granted, I am just asking out of curiosity and if anyone provides valid reasons I would agree with this decision. Honestly, I was expecting Mali returning from AOE2 though personally I am wishing (in vain) one day to see Great Benin (my fave African culture) in this or any other historical RTS video game.

6-What is gonna be the expansion pack's name? Hoping it isn't ''African Kingdoms'' like AOE2 or ''African Adventures'' like ZT2, but something unique and good which fits with the previous 2 official expansions- ''War Chiefs'' and ''Asian Dynasties''. These are all the questions I have.

PS: Alas I would love to personally chat with the developers and community in the AOE forums, however those require a Microsoft profile and that is difficult for me compared to a simple Google and forum (e.g. Discord or Tapatalk) account. I have some ideas for the AOE series video games. :D
