The War Chiefs expansion has gone gold!   Woo!  I've had a ton of fun playing this over the past few months and anyone who enjoys Age 3 will definitely find it a welcome addition.  Smashing your enemies with waves of native warriors and your mighty War Chief is just a blast.  Actually my single favorite feature is the dances, that basically let you swap out which uber-bonus you are getting at any given time. 

The recent 1.09 Age 3 patch boosted the XP rate for leveling Home Cities, which I think is a welcome change.  I think we probably tuned it too conservatively originally, and we definitely want people to be able to see the new high tier content for both new and old cities.

I'm sure I'll start up a new native HC once the retail version hits.  Good times.  :)
