Trivia
- The original release of Age of Empires featured a different version of the seventh and eighth scenarios of the Yamato Empire of the Rising Sun campaign. These were changed in response to concerns in South Korea with the theme of a Japanese invasion of the Korean peninsula. The scenarios were updated in all subsequent releases of Age of Empires. The scenarios themselves were unchanged, but all scenario instructions, history text, and bitmaps were updated. So, instead of the invasion of the Silla Kingdom by the Yamato Japan and their Korean Baekje allies, the final release depicts a revolt of the most southwesterly main island of Japan, Kyushu (probably the Hayato Rebellion).
- In the Definitive Edition release, the historical background of the last three scenarios was changed for a concrete historical events of the Yamato period late history, including the Fujiwara Rebelion of the Nara Period.
