In Age of Empires III, as well as its first expansion, The WarChiefs, you could control European and Native American civilizations in a battle for supremacy in the New World. With Asian Dynasties, the second expansion, the focus will change to the other side of the world. However, this new expansion won't just offer up a new setting. Asian Dynasties is developed by Big Huge Games, the acclaimed creator of Rise of Nations, in cooperation with Ensemble Studios; thus, Asian Dynasties is a merging of two strategy powerhouses, with Big Huge Games putting its own unique take on the series.
Asian Dynasties introduces three new civilizations: China, Japan, and India. Each will have its own campaign of five missions each, covering different periods in history. There are a slew of new maps, covering the Silk Road, Borneo, Siberia, and more. You can, of course, take any of these Asian civilizations and play them in skirmish against other Age of Empires III civilization on any map. If you have the WarChiefs expansion, you can play against those civilizations as well.
Each of the civilizations plays quite differently from one another, as well as any previous Age of Empires III game. For a great visual perspective, check out our Y! exclusive gameplay overview and three producer walkthrough videos by clicking the links above.
