Age of Empires III

INTRODUCTION

Age of Empires III is a perfect game to those who love strategy type games. it's graphics are very realistic.Age of Empires III is mostly set in the New World during the colonial era , between circa 1492 and 1850. In the style of previous games of the series, the game requires the player to develop a European, Asian or North American nation's colony from a basic settlement to an empire, progressing through "Ages"—stages of technological development—and destroying the enemy's colony.

Gameplay

There are three modes of game play: story-based campaigns, single player skirmishes (conflicts between teams), and online multiplayer skirmishes.

in multiplayer skirmishes your job is to destroy the other colony.

in story-based campaigns you can play by following your objectives.

In Age of Empires III, the player advances through technological "Ages", representing historical time periods; these provide access to greater improvements, units, and buildings. They include the Discovery Age, which represents the discovery and exploration of the Americas by Europeans and allows the player to explore and develop their economy; the Colonial Age, which represents the European Expansion into the "New World" and unlocks early military units; the Fortress Age, which represents the fortification of the European colonies, unlocks forts, and allows the player to have a more complete military; the Industrial Age, which triggers a strong economy, due in part to factories—advanced buildings that automatically produce resources or artillery—and unlocks all units and shipments; and the Imperial Age, which unlocks all buildings and upgrades, and allows you to send unit and resource shipments a second time. All Ages cost food and coin to advance to, except the Colonial Age, which only costs food(800).

CIVILIZATIONS
There are eight civilization the player may choose from :
Spanish
Spanish explorer can train military dogs that are usefull for scouting or getting treasures. Spanish have goood infantry and cavalry. The Spanish are more flexible in early games because of their faster Home city Shipments.
British

the British build manors which are more expensive than normal houses but can spawn one free settler for every construction, this speeds up early game construction and gathering during early games. Instead of heavy cannons their factory produces rockets.
French
The French train Coureurs des bois, stronger villagers which may eventually double as infantry.This civilization can have many shipments related to Natives, and so it is the strongest at forging native alliances. The French train the strongest cavalry unit of the game, the Cuirassier (at the cost of 3 population space). Their unique units are the Cuirassier and the Coureur des Bois.
Portugese
Every time you advance in age you get a free covered wagon which enables you to build a town center.They have a balanced military, which is supplemented by a strong navy. Their unique units are the Cassador (similar to a skirmisher) and the Organ Gun. Their best units are the Jinete Dragoon and Guerreiro Musketeer.
Dutch
Instead of food, the Ducth settlers cost coin which make them dependent on this resource early in the game.Dutch can build Banks which can produces small amounts of coin while your playing.

Russian

The Russians train numerous units in groups, speeding up production—especially early in the game. This gives them the capacity to overwhelm other players with their large armies, which are supplemented by the low cost of their military and, for the most basic units, an almost instant build time. Their unique units are the Strelet, Cossack and Oprichnik, and their best units are the Tartar Cavalry Archer and Pavlov Grenadier. Late game units can rapidly create fortifications.

Germans

The Germans represent all of the Central European kingdoms of the time and start out with settler wagons instead of the normal European settlers. the Germans can ship mercenaries sooner than any other civilization. Their unique units are the Doppelsoldner, Uhlan, War Wagon and Settler Wagon, and their best units are the Prussian Needle Gunner Skirmisher and Czapka Uhlan. Germans are very good at longer games because of their dedicated settler wagons that build faster and work better than the average settler.

Ottomans

The ottomans economy are slow but cconstant, due to the fact that settlers are continually produced automatically at no cost but have the disadvantage of having limited settler production. The Ottoman military makes heavy use of artillery units, many of them unique, such as the Great Bombard, the most powerful artillery unit in the game. The Ottomans lack light infantry: the only infantry they can train is the Jannisary, a more powerful type of musketeer.
