This content is a downloadable content (DLC) expansion for the base game, released on June 1, 2024. It introduces a new playable tribe to the strategic world of the game, focusing on a secretive legion of soldiers, saboteurs, and assassins. This addition is designed to extend and enhance the core gameplay experience by providing a new faction with its own unique units, technologies, and strategic approaches.

The Sha• po Tribe

The Sha• po are presented as a clandestine force, meticulously trained in warfare and subterfuge from their earliest stages. This background suggests a playstyle that may emphasize stealth, tactical maneuvering, and potentially unique unit abilities focused on disruption and assassination.

New Gameplay Mechanics and Strategic Depth

As a DLC, this content integrates directly with the main game, requiring the base game to be owned and played. It does not offer a standalone experience. The addition of the Sha• po tribe introduces new strategic considerations for players, both when playing as them and when facing them. This typically involves new unit types, unique city-building options, and potentially a distinct technology tree that encourages different approaches to expansion, defense, and offense.

Scope and Integration

The scope of this DLC is comparable to other tribe expansions for the base game, adding a substantial new playable faction. It aims to provide a fresh experience within the established framework of the main game, offering players a new way to engage with its turn-based strategy mechanics. The content is designed to be fully integrated, allowing the Sha• po to participate in standard game modes alongside existing tribes.

What distinguishes the Sha• po?

The core appeal of this expansion lies in the introduction of the Sha• po's unique identity and gameplay. Their described background as trained saboteurs and assassins hints at mechanics that might deviate from traditional combat, potentially involving specialized units with abilities for infiltration, ambushes, or economic disruption. Players can expect to explore a new strategic path that leverages these specialized traits.
