AoE3 Add-on Details

The Age Of Empires: The WarChiefs Product Section is live (thanks Frans), revealing the subtitle of Ensemble's upcoming expansion for their RTS sequel as The WarChiefs, symbolic of the add-on's Native American-theme. The site includes three new screenshots, and here's a bit of the new detail on the project:
Early on we considered adding other civilizations but felt they wouldn't play as different as what we believe we can do with the Native Americans. We also felt there were good stories from the Native American point-of-view that we wanted to tell and hadn't seen in a previous game. Some people have asked if this topic has required "Sensitivity" on our part. Hmm. Ensemble has a history of trying to portray "underdogs". For instance, in Age 2 we presented the Crusades from Saladin's point of view. In effect we are now giving the native nations full control of history. So I guess we're empowering them.

Saladin was far from an underdog.
