I really, really enjoyed these challenges, even though getting medals was really difficult for me. The last three are about not losing a certain amount of units and ships. The first 7 ‘arts of war’ have time limits that you need to beat in order to get a bronze, silver, or gold medal. You can take as long as you want to complete each mission, but there are also medals to be earned here. I don’t know why they made this mandatory, honestly. There’s a total of 10 missions, and before attempting each one, you have to watch a cinematic.

This mode is basically just a range of challenge missions where you can practice your skills in a series of short challenges.
The second new mode is The Art of War, and man, did I love this one (even though I sucked at it). Based on which difficulty level you choose, you can collect medals. There’s no customization here, obviously, except for the difficulty (standard, moderate or hard). You get to relive history’s greatest battles of all time. The first one is called Historical Battles, and you can pretty much guess from the name what this means. New game modes: AoE3: DE introduces two new game modes.I found this a very important note and can only applaud this! Inaccurate and stereotypical depictions were replaced, new voiceovers were created using authentic speakers, and problematic mechanics and storylines were reviewed. They say they value authenticity and respectful representations grounded in truth, so for this version, they collaborated with Native American and First Nations consultants in order to correct said errors. When starting the DE version, the developers show you a small note first, admitting that they didn’t portrait everything correctly back in 2005 and took liberties in the depiction of Indigenous civilizations, as well as events and personages from American history. History: Since Age of Empires III is a historical RTS, representing the correct historical events is quite important and can be interesting to learn from.On top of the updated graphics, it also welcomes some new features, so let’s dive into it, shall we?! And if not, the former can enjoy this glorious game once again! The definitive edition includes the original game, as well as both The WarChiefs and The Asian Dynasties expansion packs. Maybe this remastered version can change the minds of the latter ones. Some really loved it, others thought it was not worth their time. Arguably, the third game in this franchise was not the best one.
The original Age of Empires III dates back to 2005. We have already gotten the definitive editions of the first two, but now it’s time for the last one in line: Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition.
