Map Central
The new maps represent locations in Eastern and Southern Asia. They feature natives that are appropriate to the area (Sufi, Shaolin) or even a Jesuit Mission with which players can ally.
On one map, Silk Road, players will not have to actually build Trading Posts. Instead, the trading post sites will be occupied by guardians, which must be defeated into order to capture the trading post. Other players can then attack the new owner of the trading post to capture it for themselves.
The Asian Dynasties also features water treasures, which players must gather with their naval units in order to reap the reward.
