For those looking to enhance their EUIV experience to the max, Mandate of Heaven is certainly one of the more 'core' expansions. With some nice and unique changes for the Far East, it will be very promising for those seeking to play as one of those nations. However, people focused on the more Western nations won't get too much out of this beyond a few baseline modifications that really aren't worth the price of the expansion in and of themselves.

The new Mandate of Heaven DLC looks to provide content and focuses on making significant gameplay changes to the eastern part of the world. Mandate of Heaven seeks to only make playing factions like the Ming Dynasty or one of the Samurai clans more interesting, although the update also contains some interesting changes to the core gameplay.
