Three New Civilizations!

• Mapuche – Throw off the yoke of foreign oppression through unconventional cavalry and counter-unit tactics. The Mapuche unique units are the Kona, a melee cavalryman that deals increased damage to injured targets, and the Bolas Rider, a ranged cavalryman whose projectiles slow down enemy units.

• Muisca – Dominate the Colombian Andes with economic prowess, piety, and deadly ranged soldiers. The Muisca unique units are the Guecha Warrior, a javelineer whose death heals nearby Guecha Warriors, and the Temple Guard, a heavy infantryman that attacks faster the longer it remains in combat.

• Tupi – Master the jungles and coastlines of modern-day Brazil with infantry and ranged soldiers. The Tupi unique units are the Blackwood Archer, an inexpensive ranged soldier that trains in pairs, and the Ibirapema Warrior, a heavy infantryman who deals area damage.

Three New Campaigns!

• Lautaro (Mapuche) — After witnessing his village’s destruction, the young warrior Lautaro vows revenge on the Spanish conquistador Pedro de Valdivia. Can Lautaro change his people’s fate by mastering Spanish tactics?

• El Dorado (Muisca) — Commander Pacanchique is forced to pick a side between two powerful rulers, yet his true loyalty lies with his beloved Azay. Can Pacanchique protect her while surviving Muisca infighting and European incursions?

• Arariboia (Tupi) — When a rival tribe threatens his people with extinction, chieftain Arariboia resolves to protect them at any cost. Will he be able to secure Portuguese aid and reclaim his people’s lost homeland?
