The focus of last year’s Age of Empires III was mainly the European civilizations and the early explorers that arrived on the continent. Warchiefs goes in a new direction, introducing three new factions to stir things up a bit. All three are Native American tribes that look and play somewhat differently than the old world powers from the original game. The Aztecs lack any kind of cavalry, but make up for this shortcoming with a variety of powerful and fast-moving infantry units. The Sioux are very nearly the opposite of the Aztecs, with a culture based around mounted units and cavalry. They are particularly well suited to hit-and-run attacks or assaults over long distances. The Iroquois sport a variety of both mounted and infantry units, even including some that incorporate European technology.
