The Last Chieftains DLC has been a pretty massive addition to Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition, and it brings plenty of new civilizations to enjoy.
There are three new civilizations that you can access with the help of the DLC. But that’s not all, since eight new unique units are also part of the DLC themed around South America.

If you get The Last Chieftains DLC, you can play as the Mapuche, the Muisca, and the Tupi. All three civilizations have their roots in South America, and the cultural influence shows in the buildings and design elements.
- Mapuche: The Mapuche civilization specializes in counter-tactics and unconventional cavalry. There are two unique units in the form of the Kona and the Bolas Rider (more on them later).
- Muisca: The Muisca excels in economic strength, piety, and deadly ranged soldiers. The Guecha Warrior and Temple Guard are two unique units you find in this civilization.
- Tupi: If you want to master the jungles and coastline of what’s modern Brazil, the Tupi is your go-to civilisation. The unique units include the Blackwood Archer and the Ibirapema Warrior.
All three civilizations also have their own campaigns that you can complete as part of the DLC.
