Age of Empires III: The Asian Dynasties Expansion Pack
The Asian Dynasties is another add-on for Age of Empires (III). It turns out to be more of the same with different looking characters. Gather wood, gather food, gather coin to build up your empire so you can fight other empires for world dominance. I bought this for my 12-yr old son who got quickly bored with the game once he played it for a short time. I enjoyed it somewhat because the characters tend to speak something that sounds like the Chinese language.

The facts that asian dynasties is an expansion pack is so inconspicuous that one does not easily notice this. Once you have purchased this game, you realize that it is a way to make additional money. Apparently, a lot of people had the same issues. Microsoft should reimburse people or convert this into a stand-alone game.

I’ve always been a huge AOE fan, but in the past few years, I haven’t really kept up with my playing. Recently, I’ve been really getting back into the Japanese and Asian culture, and I found out about this expansion. I downloaded and installed the demo with ease. The first warning sign I found; the moment I initalized the software, I was given a warning that my video card couldn’t support the game. I’m running an intergrated intel video card, the basic one that came with my PC. I proceeded anyways, for I laugh in the face of system failures.
The demo consists of a 1-level scenario, skirmish mode, and even a multiplayer mode. I was disappointed with the lack of game missions, but found skirmish mode to be more than enjoyable! An extremely cool feature is the ability to build a “deck” of “cards”. These cards are essentially bonuses that add to game play. One example is a card that gives you seven samurai. In order to unlock new cards, you have to gain experience through playing skirmish mode. The cards are completely optional; you don’t NEED to use the cards to win, but they add such awesome effects! My favorite has to be the “dojo” card, which creates a dojo building that generates armies for no cost (accept to population). Overall, I am extremly pleased with the game play, especially with the amount replay value!
Now the con: you need a decent graphics card to really enjoy this game. The graphics were fantastic, even at 600×800. But during large battles, specifically sea battles, I ran in to major lag, and several times I had to reboot my system.
Overall, awesome demo, which left me with positive impressions.
