AoE3 Trouble
Hi Narve, I think I should ask you a question: I'm an Age of Empires 3 fans, I don't buy it on Stream and instead buying a CD to install it. It's really a full version game not the trial version but I have some trouble I really can't understand:



This is the first cutscene of Nathaniel campaign, Nathaniel lead a group of militia (this video is from Youtube). As you can see they use clothes like a Redcoat but in my game, those Militia used a Veteran Musketeer skin instead (it also happened in Scenario Editor). I don't know whyNguyenAnhLam (talk)


 * As long as it still works the same, I don't see why this is a problem.Narve (talk) 17:53, September 17, 2017 (UTC)

Wikibreak
Hi Narve, sorry about your oncoming operation. Hope everything is alright & nothing is too serious. I hope you get better soon. Feel free to take a longer break if you need to.


 * Thanks. Surgery went well. Just a small wrist operation, but I can't type with my left hand for the next week or two. I'll probably hang around, but don't expect any large edits.Narve (talk) 09:34, September 22, 2017 (UTC)

Fanon Pages
I was looking at an archived talk page the other day, and I saw someone ask about fanon pages. It seems that he attempted to make an Age of Empires Fanon Wiki, but it was rejected. I wanted to know if maybe instead of just making fanon pages on blogs, we could make them actual articles, but with a template telling people it's fanon. Could that work? Would you be fine with that?

Thanks,

 * No, I would not be OK with that. This wiki is for official content, and we don't want to mix fanon units with real ones.Narve (talk) 05:50, October 29, 2017 (UTC)


 * Somehow I thought you wouldn't be. Thanks anyway. UnofficialGameExpert78 (talk) 12:45, October 30, 2017 (UTC)


 * @UnofficialGameExpert78 & @Narve: Actually, there is a simple way to do it without mixing or screwing up official content from user or fan made material. The solution is simple: use an article title structure in the form of Fanon:Scenario/Name of user created scenario for articles that focus on user generated scenarios. A similar thing can be done for mods where all user created articles would be titled under Fanon:Mod/Name of user created mod. Many wikis in Wikia already have used a similar format, for example the Spore Wiki and Avatar Wiki which are both well known for fanmade material. What this article format does is essentially brings 2 wikis into one single, unified wiki. A separate portal or main page can be created to support the entire system. That way, creating a separate wiki for fanmade material wouldn't be necessary.

All of this can be easily done since this wiki is not affiliated with Microsoft or any other corporation & is largely owned by the editors & contributors around here. As a result, we could theoretically do whatever we want with this place, so long it is within our rules.

The Age of Empires series have a phenomenal fan base largely due to the ability to generate your own content using the Scenario Editor which is arguably, my favorite thing about the game. It is for this very reason why I joined this wiki in the first place. If there is a number 1 rule for this place, it would be to have fun editing the wiki which is what this new project will be about. Such creativity shouldn't be shunned or discouraged, since I actually have thoughts about doing it on a blog several years ago as an admin, but couldn't find a way to do it.

However, the only thing that would prevent us from doing so would be opposition from other editors who believe that this wiki should only be about about official information published by Microsoft or any other foreign entity. In that case, a poll can be created & placed on to the Main Page so that others can vote or provide feedback about this possibility for a new project.


 * That sounds like a great idea, X~Calibur95. I feel like there are some people who would believe it is Heresy to have fanon pages on an official wiki, as evidenced by Narve's response. A poll is a great idea.

Question about Black Riders
hey! i have a question :P

can spawn black riders somehow in TAD while im playing as french? if no, which country can spawn them in saloons?


 * All the European civilizations can train Black Riders from the Saloon, but it's random which mercenaries are available (except the Outlaw-type ones), so they won't appear in every game.Narve (talk) 19:41, November 3, 2017 (UTC)
