Other Versions of The Expansion
The Warchiefs expansion now has a trial version for PC only, which can be downloaded from the official site of Age of Empires 3: The Warchiefs website. It features two playable civilizations (Germans and Iroquois) in Skirmish Mode, one random map (California) as well as the two first scenarios in the single-player campaign about the continuing story of the Black Family, from Age of Empires III.
The Warchiefs expansion pack was also bundled with the full game of Age of Empires III, being called Age of Empires III Gold Edition on September 19, 2006. It is currently discontinued and is replaced by the new bundle, called Age of Empires III Complete Collection, featuring the full game of Age of Empires III, the Warchiefs Expansion, and the second released expansion, called Age of Empires III: The Asian Dynasties, released on September 15, 2009, in the United States.
As well, this expansion, including the full game of Age of Empires III and the Asian Dynasties expansion, has been ported over to the Mac by MacSoft Games, being able to play on Mac OS X.
There is also a downloadable custom map from Ensemble Studios' website, called Plymouth. It is only available for PC users of this expansion pack, requiring version 1.0.1 or later to run. As quoted from their website: "Plymouth is a festive new custom map from Ensemble Studios. It is a veritable cornucopia of Pilgrims, pumpkins, and envoys." Installation instructions are available on their site, for any help on getting it installed properly.
This expansion pack has gone thorough four patches that have been released to fix bugs and restore the game balance, which has been slightly altered by the appearance of the new civilizations.

Famous quotes containing the words versions and/or expansion:
“The assumption must be that those who can see value only in tradition, or versions of it, deny man’s ability to adapt to changing circumstances.”
—Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)
“We are caught up Mr. Perry on a great wave whether we will or no, a great wave of expansion and progress. All these mechanical inventions—telephones, electricity, steel bridges, horseless vehicles—they are all leading somewhere. It’s up to us to be on the inside in the forefront of progress.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
