You can play as either the British or the Spanish in the Mac OS X demo. I've gotten probably over 80 hours of play time just out of the demo. I can't wait to buy the bonafide version!
EXCELENT GRAPHICS. FUN TO PLAY. NOTHING REALLY BAD WITH THE GAME.
I've been playing this game since it was first released and added the expansion pack as quickly as it came out. I just don't get tired of it. I highly recommend it.
The newest release builds on the past two with all of the fantastic strategy included in the earlier games. The new improvements are vast and I'm sure that other users and reviews will be able to expand on them more directly. However, if you've played AoE games in the past, this one will not disappoint. They've dropped some of the more esoteric and mundane steps (like villagers constantly returning to town center) and have added simplifying features but haven't sacrificed any of the strategy. I think version three finally brings it all together.
There are a few features which are lacking, however, the scenario game play is a little weak in AoE III and I didn't see any addition in the expansion pack. Also, the scenario creator has so much potential for active users to build situations that others might like to play but requires so much time and effort as to be useless.
On the whole, I certainly recommend this game and the expansion pack to anyone who is interested in strategy games.
I love all the AOE games, and this one is no exception. AOE2: The Conquerors is still my favorite, but this one is second. AOE3 without the expansion is fun, but the expansion adds a lot of cool aspects. Revolting is great fun, and the Native American civs are alright. I can't quite say about the balance yet, but it seems decent.
Would definitely buy from this seller again. Came very quickly and in condition that was stated. Thanks!
This deserves the expansion of the year award... i dont believe there is such a thing as too much fun... in this case it may be true; three new civs, new units, more to do in home cities, more cards, and a whole new campaign! i will admit the natives are lacking in some areas such as construction but other than that this was a great buy, its worth the money and anyone who disagrees is seriously confused. i would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys any AOE especially AOE3, it basically completes the game and it really brings some closure to the live of the blacks
sincerely,
tony
If you are a fan of AOE3, you need to buy the expansion pack war chiefs. It adds a lot of things, and made the game a lot more cooler if that is even possible. It is worth you money. I bought it and I am having a lot of fun.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I found the expansion to Age of Empires III to be extremely enjoyable. It was good to be able to play the game from the Indians' circle. You can play it with just Indian Tribes or you are able to mix the settlers together working side by side.
I have never been disappointed in any of the Age of Empires Games since the first one and these most recent addition are every bit as enjoyable with so many upgrades and improvements to the game.
The WarChiefs Expansion Pack is well worth adding to your Age of Empires Collection. Enjoy!!!
Age of Empires III: The Warchiefs Expansion Pack is an excellent compliment to the revolutionary graphics and game play of Age of Empires III. I highly recommend it to others because of it's continuation of the series. Plus, it is basically cost-effective fun. If you ran out of missions on AOE III, get this expansion pack and continue playing. You'll enjoy it.
It's obvious that Mr. RTS doesn't know what an X-Pak is, so I will explain it. To clarify to all those out there who don't know what X-Paks are:
An Expansion Pack adds to existing features by adding new content. Not new features, not new physics.
Even then, Warchiefs adds new content AND new features. From the three new Indian civs that play remarkably different from each other and from the europeans to the addition of needed units for various strategies, to new maps, new play types, new victory conditions, new no-rush abilities...the list of new content and features for Warchiefs is enough to fill several pages.
In short, if you like Age of Empires 3, you need this expansion pack. Even if you don't like Age 3, this X-Pak may possibly bring you around. Age 3 is a great addition to the series and this is almost as fine an X-Pak as the Conquerers was for Age2.
Warning: It comes with several new bugs, but unlike what the previous reviwer stated, it actually fixes several problems (Ott endless barracks glitch, German settler wagon pathfinding issues to name a few) from Age3. Buy it, play it, get it patched, and you'll find this is beyond a brilliant game.
This is my favorite AOE expansion YET! I also appreciate the reality with which the game is produced. I think it makes the game experience better.
This game is an outstanding addition to the Age of Empires saga. The game combines excellent graphics and a great storyline for single player. Skirmishes are very fun with the new civilizations and technologies. I would recommend this game to anyone who likes a good RTS game!
This "Warchiefs" expansion for the highly successful Age of Embpires III allows you to play as one of three new civilizations:
AZTEC - Based on a strong infantry consisting of several units, including elite infantry.
IROQUOIS - Equipped with artillery and siege weaponry, the Iroquois civilization can mount a powerful but slow-moving assault.
SIOUX - A cavalary based civilization that strike hard and fast.
Each new civilization has unique units, buildings and upgrades for the European civilizations from the original game. They now allow you to earn civilian specific bonuses, build units at a new mercenary saloon, collect new cards, and battle toward victory with the new REVOLUTION feature.
The bottom line: If you enjoyed Age of Empires III, you will want to purchase the War Chiefs expansion.
This game is so good I am failing out of school! I've been logged on online for 3 months straight and my eyes are bugging out. I need to see an addiction specialist!! This game is that good.
Wow! EA and MS do it again with this near full length expansion of Age of Empires III. Beautiful graphics, tons of chances to level up your home city and a followable storyline make this one of the best AoE yet!
