#Age of empires iii patch 1.11 Patch
Patch 1.04/1.12: This patch for The Warchiefs and Age of Empires III has been tied off for balance and feature coding.

They are aware of a number of smaller issues that need attention but feel that the condition of the Y pack is comparable to both Age of Empires III and The Warchiefs at a similar time.

Our internal balance test team reported recently that in their opinion Asian Dynasties is on the right track and is reasonably balanced. We are waiting to hear how much of a presence the Asian Dynasties will have at the Leipzig Game Show, the year’s biggest European trade show for games. Big Huge Game is completing the content and polishing what is there. Asian Dynasties in Polish Mode: We recently got a look at box covers to be used in different parts of the world and a new version of the trailer.
