Experience firsthand the rich and historical influences of Asia while commanding units and expanding your empire in the Eastern world. In Age of Empires III: The Asian Dynasties, three new campaigns?comprised of 15 new scenarios?tell stories of Asian struggle during some of the most pivotal moments in history.

When a power hungry admiral sends the ships adrift into seas unknown, the voyage takes an unexpected turn...to the west. In 16th century Japan, a loyal general leads the armies of his adopted father, Tokugawa Ieyasu, in a bid to seize power. But as the greater war rages, a surprising revelation ignites an unexpected internal struggle that must be won before the epic Battle of Sekigahara. In 19th century India, a soft-spoken lieutenant in the pay of the British East India Company can endure the foreign occupiers no longer, and takes up arms against his superiors.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Best computer game addition
Comment: Age of Empires is one of the best computer game series in the history. It is fun and involves a lot of thinking and planning. Asian addition adds extra dimension of the game, in term of adding more civilization as well as game plays.

Summary: good game but....
Comment: Age III was a great game and I was looking forward to adding more civilizations. I never ever had problems with Age III until I added the Asian Dynasties. Now almost every game is interrupted with freezes that can only be fixed by shutting the whole system down. I have reinstalled the game twice and it hasn't fixed anything. I am waiting for a patch, but don't see anything yet. Anybody else having this problem on Macs?

Summary: Asian Die-nasties
Comment: An excellent upgrade. A little hard to get used to, when your people don't need to hunt. Vegetarians. Who can understand them? Anyway, as the inventors of gunpowder enter into the game, things get more explosive. A fun romp.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Weak Single Player Campaigns, but nice improvements to game engine
Comment: 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. There are three "Acts" and if you were to combine all of them together they would have made one good "Act".
Multiplayer, however, does benefit from the new variations allowed by the additional nations and their associate characteristics.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Fun with some glitches
Comment: 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.
