Age of Empires 3: Definitive Edition has just got a brand-new patch that folds a pretty large batch of new content and gameplay updates into the RTS game. Catchily titled Update 47581, the patch brings an anniversary bash, "tons of Inca gameplay improvements and balance tweaks", new maps, additional Inca cards, and more.
Celebrating the overhauled strategy game's launch this time last year, the in-game bash is a "new and unique event", the AoE devs explain, which is now live until October 26. Players get missions to complete while it's in full swing, with each bringing in-game rewards when beaten. For example, if you win a single-player skirmish or multiplayer game while playing as the Americans or British you'll get a profile icon, or if you train 50 artillery units from either the artillery foundry, fort, siege workshop, or palace, you'll earn a "birthday cake cannonball mod". Sweet?
There'll be one mission a day to complete and, while you don't have to complete them on consecutive days to get the rewards, to keep the goodies you've earned after the event wraps up, you will need to log into your Xbox Live account at some point beforehand.
