Just got the new Difinitive Edition of Age of Empires III. First thing you load up is a long commentary from the developers/designers (Microsoft/Xbox studios) that A) they made changes so the game was more "historical" and B) removed "stereotypes" and biases particularly used on native american faction in the game. Ok, all well and good until you find out they also changed "Colony" to "town" and other similar syntax changes. Hey, MS, if you're going for historical accuracy then "Colony" is the correct historical term you should be using!
Yeah I don't know what reasoning they would have for that. The original colonies were British colonies until the US went independent. No one says "The original 13 towns"
