1.i read it in some polish games portal that just before battle he, manuel, can send some kinda spies or secret diplomats to enemy army and enemy general will know that theres something wrong after he start a battle. i hope that it will cost him much to perform coz he can be unbeatable.
2. in age of empires 3 we have a homecity that give us shipments after we do much, we can build a guilds to recruit natives, so the only very new thing im expecting about america campaign is the abiity to learning modern warfare by american natives. aztecs on horses

Mad Mac, so the danes will have three new units.

If Poland could team up with the HRE in the Teutonic Campaign and build Imperial Knights, Dismounted Imperial Knights, and Peasent Crossbowmen, would you say Poland gained 3 new units? I wouldn't. That seems a strange perspective to me.

And please don't make crass assumptions as to what I do or don't know, thank you. Regardless, this is off-topic for the thread and I'm not going to pursue it.

As for the Byzantine general ability, I seem to recall what it did was make the enemy unit become disorganized and uncontrollable for a time. Useful, but not as simple and powerful as turning an entire regiment of Gothic Knights to the dark side and watching them butcher their comrades in arms.

But Danes are insignificant to this history, they are there just because they are there, to make more stir on the map. Just like HRE, poland is active player in this history and only new thing what we get is hanza merchant guild.
if poland could team up with lithuania and it will get them both new heavy units then yes. it would be almost historically true. but no, here lithuania can become christian by itself. no polish-lithuania union, no lithuania-made king on polish throne but yes, a brand new heavy cavalry out from moon.

The hero abilities only happen in battles, the Byzatine Emperor one is a bit strange to explain, and as it has not been explained in depth i'll wait until more info gets released on it.
