Age of Empires II receives expansion with three South American civilizations
Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition has released The Last Chieftains expansion, adding three South American civilizations to the game – Mapuche, Muisca and Tupi. Each features unique units, technologies and architecture.
Mapuche – Featuring the Kona, a melee cavalryman that deals extra damage to wounded foes, and the Bolas Rider, a ranged cavalryman whose attacks slow enemy movement.
Muisca – Hailing from the Colombian Andes, the Muisca deploy the Guecha Warrior, a javelineer whose death heals nearby allies, and the Temple Guard, a heavy infantryman that attacks faster the longer it fights.
Tupi – Masters of the Brazilian jungle, the Tupi utilize the Blackwood Archer, a ranged unit that trains in pairs, and the Ibirapema Warrior, a heavy infantryman with powerful area damage.
The developers designed these civilizations specifically for multiplayer, though the expansion includes three campaigns where players can reshape medieval South American history.
Fight for freedom as a young Mapuche warrior, seek balance between love and loyalty in the Muisca struggle for El Dorado, and cunningly reclaim your homeland as a Tupi chieftain who pits European tribes against each other.
Campaigns feature significant story choices, opportunities to secure allied tribe support, and unique hero auras that can turn the tide of battle. The expansion adds new flora, fauna and visual effects recreating the atmosphere of South America at the turn of eras.
Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition – The Last Chieftains is available on Steam.
