One aspect that helps to bring a new feel however is the campaign missions.They were very clever with the development of this game in that they did not try and cram a ton of new stuff in here.
Instead what they did was build upon what made AOE 3 so popular at the time. At 15 missions long it is a decent length and once again follows the Black family that we have come to know. Seeing them in The American Revolution is actually really cool and the story is pretty deep and will keep you engaged. You will also experience the Red Clouds War and Great Sioux War which for history buffs is going to be really cool. The story is split into two acts, Fire and Shadow and for me, Shadow was the better story. Revolutions are now an actual option You can go to the imperial age or you can revolt and start a new country. This is pretty cool and something that is a great deal of fun and also a great idea. Each nation has a unit that can use stealth and this can come in really handy. Ninja, spies, native scouts are the kind of spies that each nation can have. These are a lot of fun to use and when you pull off using them just right you really do feel like a tactical mastermind. On the surface it may not look like Age Of Empires 3: The Warchiefs adds in a ton of content, but what it does it does very well and that makes it well worth playing. You can get a complete version of Age of Empires 3 that has this and the follow-up expansion and, in all honesty, if you ask me that is the best way to experience this game. The story alone is worth playing through and one of the most interesting AOE stories that they ever did in my opinion. 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. There are also a slew of other additions, many either new for the Europeans or aimed at balancing the new races in multiplayer. However, it still doesnt 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. In its third showing, the gameplay refinement is clearly present along with new features that are integrated seamlessly. Adding an expansion pack was only a matter of time and although it took awhile, Age of Empires: War Chiefs has made its appearance. Either an entirely new gameplay feature is added, often to fix gameplay imbalances or slip in a feature that wasnt ready for the initial release, or new content is added without significant changes to the gameplay. Age of Empires: War Chiefs focuses around the addition of three Native American civilizations: the Aztecs, the Iroquois, and the Sioux. There are a few new building and features to take advantage of such as the fire pit which gives nice bonuses and a new victory condition based on trading monopolies but if you take the fresh coat of paint off, its still the same basic game. Again, when the core game starts out as strong as AoE III, tinkering with the gameplay can cause more problems but Age of Empires: War Chiefs isnt going to offer an entirely new experience either.
