Instead of the European ' Explorer,' the native tribes receive a 'War Chief,' who provides more versatility throughout the game. One more new feature of The WarChiefs expansion is the implementation of the War Chiefs themselves. Once one side has had a revolution, it is no longer an option for the opposing team, and they can only go to the Imperial Age.

But if your initial attacks fail, your inferior economy will allow your enemy to defeat you more easily. The advantage of a revolution is that it gives your military a boost, allowing you to gain the upper hand and to break a tight battle.

When you start a revolution, you can choose a historical revolutionary leader (such as Simon BolГvar) who gives you a bonus. After this revolution your settlers change to Colonial Militia and you cannot produce any more Settlers, stagnating your economy. Instead of going to the Imperial Age, you may choose to have a revolution (which is cheaper, yet riskier). Note that the team which started the timer cannot build more trading posts during the timer's effect.ДЄ Revolution feature is included as well. If the other team does not destroy enough trading posts before the countdown expires, the player or team who started the countdown will win. The other team must destroy trading posts until the team with the trade monopoly holds less than half of the trading posts. If a player or team controls more than half of the trading posts in the Industrial or Imperial Age, they can start a timer, for an amount of food, wood, and coin. There is a new victory condition, called the 'Trade Monopoly', similar to the Wonder condition in earlier games. Players Home Cities and levels will carry over with the ability to reselect cards, although all rankings and other stats will be reset. This is probably to prevent two accounts being used by one person. A new account is not necessary or even allowed. Existing accounts have gained a WarChiefs statistics section. The second act, Shadow follows the story of Amelia Black's son, Chayton Black, and opens during Red Cloud's War, after act three of the original campaign.ДЇew changes have been made to Ensemble Studios online. This occurs between the second and third acts of the original campaign. The first act, Fire, follows Nathaniel Black (John Black's son and Amelia's father) as he spends most of the family's fortune supporting the American Revolution. The campaign, which is 15 scenarios total, includes the Black family in a more historical setting. New units have been added for the Europeans, mostly artillery, mercenaries, and other advanced units.ДЄ screenshot of the Breed's Hill (Battle of Bunker Hill in real life) scenario of Act I: Fire This building can be built anywhere on the map like a normal building can, so the natives don't need to be produced at the Trading Post as in the original game. Players can also build the Native Embassy, where they can train native soldiers from allied tribes. There are also 6 new maps including: Northwest Territory, California, the Painted Desert, Araucania (which have three varieties: Northern, Southern, and Middle), Orinoco, and the Andes.Д®uropean civilizations received a new building called a Saloon to hire random mercenaries as well as map specific human treasure guardian units. The Landsknecht, one of the many mercenaries that is offered at the Saloon. The expansion includes 16 minor tribes, compared to the original 12. Other new tribes include the Klamath, the Apache, the Navajo, and the Mapuche. The Huron replace the Iroquois, the Cheyenne replace the Lakota (Sioux) and the Zapotec replace the Aztecs.
