Customer Reviews
Be careful this is adictive...
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.
Great
X-Pak to a great game!
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.
Everything in moderation? not in this case
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
