Yep, just watch the Chinese video. In the campaign you fight the Aztecs. This info might just be good for RMS, Scenario Designers or Modders though.

Chinese vs. Aztecs is going to be insanely weird...... and very ahistorical.
If anything, the Chinese would have allied with the Aztecs, then the Aztecs would have captured them while they were sleeping, and sacrificed all of them the next day. End of campaign. W00T!

"Chinese vs. Aztecs is going to be insanely weird...... and very ahistorical."
That's because it's a "what if" campaign, they said. They said "what if" the Chinese had discovered the new world; and so they have them fighting the Aztecs.

Did anyone notice that the Aztecs had a wierd unit fighting for them? It had a banner on its back like a samurai, and I've never seen anything like it before.
Also, why weren't the computers that showed off the Chinese civ video playing on the highest graphics that AOE III is capable. As far as I could tell, their shaders and shadows weren't on as high as they could go. Why?

That unit was an Arrow Knight.
But what I don't get is why the AKs were upgraded fully, yet the Jags and ERKs were on base level?

Oh, I've never seen fully upgraded arrow knights before...so that is why they looked different to me.

How will you be able to own TAD and Vanilla, no WC, and still fight against Aztecs? Cause I believe TAD would be compatible with both vanilla and TWC. I got TWC, so I don't give a shit, merely just wondering.
That'd be pretty stupid; either they make you beed both games, or just TAD.
As Kastor said, they're probably including an incomplete version of the Aztec civilization in the game. Mostly art, I suppose.

So... you won't be able to play the campaign without having the WC?
Please use some logic ... aka what walker said ...
