Age of Empires: War Chiefs focuses around the addition of three Native American civilizations: the Aztecs, the Iroquois, and the Sioux. Probably depends on how much you enjoyed AoE III, but the new content does make a strong showing. Does the new content justify another $30 however?

Either an entirely new gameplay feature is added, often to fix gameplay imbalances or slip in a feature that wasn't ready for the initial release, or new content is added without significant changes to the gameplay.Īge of Empires: War Chiefs falls into the second category which isn't a bad thing when the original gameplay is already well balanced and has depth.

Expansion packs often go one of two ways. Adding an expansion pack was only a matter of time and although it took awhile, Age of Empires: War Chiefs has made its appearance. In its third showing, the gameplay refinement is clearly present along with new features that are integrated seamlessly. The success of Age of Empires III is universally acknowledged and for good reason. However, it still doesn't address the simplistic combat and will make a full game-sized dent in your wallet, thus still leaving us, a bit like the tribes, with some reservations. If youre looking to expand either your single or multiplayer experience of AOE3, WarChiefs proves itself to be a slick affair and caters well for series fans. There are also a slew of other additions, many either new for the Europeans or aimed at balancing the new races in multiplayer. The new campaign follows the saga of the Black family and is presented with all the slickness you've come to expect from Ensemble, with a host of historically based and well-varied missions. This offers a new slant on tactics and with each tribe specialising in different areas (the Sioux, for example, have a very strong cavalry), the new races are well-balanced and a joy to play. Now, they've set about putting that right in this expansion by featuring three native American tribes the Sioux, the Iroquois and the Aztecs.Īs well as the expected units and buildings associated with a new race, the three tribes all have access to a Fire Pit which villagers dance around to procure new bonuses, from producing healer units to increasing the strength of your troops. While Ensemble Were concentrating on putting the final touches to their Stetsons and swinging saloon doors in Age Of Empires III, they only offered a cursory glance at the native population.
