An excellent upgrade. Anyway, as the inventors of gunpowder enter into the game, things get more explosive. Who can understand them. A little hard to get used to, when your people don't need to hunt. Vegetarians. A fun romp.
There are three "Acts" and if you were to combine all of them together they would have made one good "Act". This expansion pack for Age of Empires III has several improvements to the AOE III game engine that will be appreciated by all those who have played the forerunners in the series.The big letdown was in the single player campaigns. They were far shorter and left me quite dissatisfied. Multiplayer, however, does benefit from the new variations allowed by the additional nations and their associate characteristics.
Some original material including, Japanese, Chinese and Indian civilizations, but some older cultures and scenarios are included. Sometimes hard to win even on Easy setting. If you liked earlier Age of Empires games, you will like this one.
Plus the computer game play is well managed a big plus. Yes you need Age of Empire III and that is because this is an expansion pack, this means you add the levels of this game to the original game. In anycase this is a great expansion pack and truly adds to the Age of Empires series. Well worth your money even if you have to buy the base pack.
This is quite an expensive game or expansion pack. Amazon or seller should list system requirements. Product description is incomplete. We received AOE III: The Asian Dynasties to be disappointed that we should also have Age of Empires III installed priorily. Can't even rate game at this time b/c we can't play it.
