With your feedback from the beta, we landed on three distinct layouts. UI: During our betas, we noticed that competitive and casual players had different expectations for UI presentation and layout.New Player Experience: In addition to The Art of War single-player missions, which will help guide new and returning players alike on how to make the most of your favorite civs in Age III: DE, we have added features in two very visible areas with new players in mind: UI and pre-made Decks.
However, as we enter the final few weeks before release, we want to highlight some specific areas where player feedback led to direct change in this Definitive Edition. One of the things we heard time and time again from Insiders is that they want more Age III content to play-we’re hopeful that the announcements of The Art of War challenges, the two new civs, as well as changes to the Native American civs made in partnership with tribal consultants are exciting to you all. We are extremely grateful that many of you are so invested in helping us make the best version of Age of Empires III yet. We would like to extend a tremendous thank you to those who were able to participate in our various Age of Empires III: Definition Edition closed betas, as well as those currently participating in our Multiplayer Stress Test.
