The Danes (official name yet to be announced) are a European civilization in an upcoming expansion for Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition. They represent the union of the Kingdom of Denmark and the Kingdom of Norway between the 16th-19th centuries.
The union possessed several colonies that spanned four continents: Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America. In the 17th century, Denmark-Norway, following the territorial losses on the Scandinavian Peninsula, began to develop forts and trading posts in West Africa, and colonies in the Caribbean and the Indian Subcontinent.
Trivia[]
- Hints that the Danes and Polish were coming to the game in some form began in July 2023, when the Public Update Preview build (which later became update 14.43676) contained remnants of cut Danish and Polish Revolutions. The Danes would have featured Royal Grenadiers (Heavy Ranged Infantry with Promotions and "armed with a powerful musket to defeat infantry"), Espingol (Artillery, possibly a unique Danish version of the Gatling Gun, as historically Espingols were a precursor to the modern machine guns) and a Royal Oldenburgs card (that would have allowed them to train Royal Grenadiers and allied the player with the House of Oldenburg).
