Issues:

Lead: "The Asian Dynasties achieved gold status on September 28, 2007.[1] The demo version of the game was released on October 4, 2007,[7] while the full version was released in North America on October 23, 2007.[1] The game was generally received well by critics, with an 80% score on Game Rankings and Metacritic.[8][9] " – What is ‘gold status’ and why should anyone care? What makes the release of the demo so special (was there early reaction to it?) What were some general praise/complaints about the expansion? (Also funnels into development- you mention it was a partnership with Big Huge Games and Ensemble, that could certainly be mentioned in the lead.)

Going to suggest that you reorganize reception into aggregates, positive and negative sections instead of by reviewer like you have now, see Halo 3, et al.

The entire changes section isn’t helpful for someone who’s never played the video game. I suggest a short introduction into the gameplay (in the lead as well) as well as a link to perhaps the parent Age of Empires III article section which describes it in more detail?
- I'll try and make the Age of Empires III more prominent, but most "expansion" articles seem to have similar content. dihydrogen monoxide (H₂0) 09:05, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Looks better, I'll pass. David Fuchs^(talk) 19:31, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Alert to editors, so it doesn't get a GAR.

There's a missing citation and a completely uncited section. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 19:40, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Picture

Great_Buddha_Wonder

^^^^What is up with this picture?, it must have been altered, (the pic is about halfway through the article) I own and regularly play the game and can say this picture is not typical of the game, there is something off about it- I just don't know what, If you play the game can you give your opinion please?

EDIT: Now I know what's wrong with it... It has the Japanese wonder under the control of the same person as the Chinese disiple! Can someone please replace this with a more realistic image? This one has obviously been staged using a mod or scenario editor (most likey and very possible in the standard scenario editor). And theres that fence thing near the shrine!

EDIT: OMG! How do I stop dashbot from removing this "non-free image" which is used in the article and so should be free?

The image is not free and cannot be shown on this talk page. Non-free images can never be used on talk pages. A link can be provided to the image, however. —C.Fred (talk) 00:17, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

UPDATED PICTURE

Modes

I don't know the game, but if you say this is a more appropriate image, then that is fine. Images often get updated and changed as people find more appropriate ones. You don't need to discuss every change in an article before-hand. If someone disputes your change, that would be a time for a discussion - otherwise, it's find to go ahead and be WP:Bold.

As a tip for uploading images - find a similar image, and look at the documentation. That will help you complete the documentation on the image you upload. I have corrected the information on Modes. SilkTork *^YES! 13:25, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Japanese campaign ending

I reworded the campaign like this. The last statement saying that he ran off was just wrong and WP:OR. The game at minimum leaves it open to interpretation, but I according to me, if anything, the game hinted the opposite...he chose to remain loyal despite knowing the truth. Either way, I erred on the side of caution and left it open. Also I found that this plot was either copied from or to the fandom site. Ugog Nizdast (talk) 19:26, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
