That idea forms the basis of the two-part single-player campaign, ∿ire and Shadow,� found in The WarChiefs. �There is plenty of precedence for this in history,� Street adds, referring to real-life alliances between Native Americans and the Europeans who encountered them. �Instead, we wanted the Native Americans to feel more like a potential resource over which colonists could compete.� While that�s still the case in Age of Empires III: The WarChiefs, the expansion pack also brings with it three tribes � the Aztecs, Iroquois, and Sioux � whose fortunes you can now control.
�We didn�t want the Native Americans to just feel like an obstacle in the game,� lead designer Greg Street explains when asked about their presence in Age of Empires III.
