just when you thought they couldn't get any better with the warchiefs expansion ensmeble and big huge games release asian dynasties. the game has more than enough content to justify it's price and will have you coming up and testing strategies for a long time.
The expansion gives you the japanese,chinese and indian civilization to play with. and each civ has very unique units and strategies that add to the game. an example is the way they level up. Instead of using your towncenter, you build wonders using your villagers to go to the next age. and each wonder has it's own ability. for example as the japanese you can build the golden temple wonder which gives you the option to increase the damage for certain types of units. you can either increase range attack, hand attack or just increase the hit points. they also have a unique building where certain units and economic upgrades can be imported from other civilizations.
The expansion also gives you three stories to play. and each story is decent and exciting, although some of the twists are predictable. The best campaing in my opinion is the indian rebellion against the british forces. It's definately memorable. all in all you will find plenty of content to keep you happy untill another expansion comes. also after ensemble released the update a lot of the blanance issues between the new and old europian civs have been taken care of.
