* FanonDiscontinuity: The ''Tale of the Dragon'' expansion pack was widely disliked by fans and critics alike on launch since it had a plethora of issues like glitches, unbalanced gameplay, a boring cliche plot which is barely connected to the original story, low quality production value (such as an Egyptian temple appearing in one mission despite it being set in China) and others which made it feel more like a cheap GameMod rather than an official expansion in the eyes of many fans. The fact that it [[OnlyTheCreatorDoesItRight wasn't developed by the original creators Ensemble Studios]] did not help and some fans still refuse to acknowledge its existence. Overtime patches that improved graphics and glitch fixes helped warm up fans to the expansion, though many are still unimpressed with the new campaign and often get the expansion just so they can play as the Chinese.

Added DiffLines:

* ObviousBeta: The ''Tale of the Dragon'' DLC release features numerous irritating and conspicuous bugs, many of which can still be found in the game even after various patches. Examples include:
** The Chinese gods being bugged out even after a fresh install, rendering it impossible to select them in random matches or advance to the next age if you play the campaign.
** If you skip the opening cutscene in "Trapped", the campaign's fourth mission, all town centers on the map are destroyed, resulting in an instant loss.
** Destroying enemy temples will sometimes result in them switching to the Egyptian temple model for their crumbling animation.
