This is really uneeded however because it has no affect on the game.ĪOE III also has an interesting story to follow which advances through the the three acts you must complete in the campaign. You can also customize the look of the home city by picking colors and designs. The use of a home city sending supplies really creates a colonial feeling that can be taylored to your style of play. When the main city increases size after a certain amount of experience points players may pick one card which can be sent infinitely for resources, or once for units or a special ability. One of the best parts of the game is the ability to customize your home city and the supplies/resources that can be sent. Cannons being one of the most expensive units it drives me crazy when I lose them in battle because of some glitch. Also the cannons are very hard to use sometimes, they can get stuck behind rocks or each other, and sometimes spin around in circles instead of firing. Most of the troops dont have any problem engaging the enemy, but it is very frustrating the few times a group of soldiers walks up to the enemy and cant quite get close enough to shoot until after two or three seconds of scrambling around. The only real problem I have with the game is the lack of control during battle. There are also war wagons, different types of calvary, and unique mercenaries you can ally with. AOE has interesting units with a complete navy with ships that are easy to load/unload with troops. I am a diehard Blizzard Entertainment and Command and Conquer fan so I am comparing this game mostly to those previous titles.
Victory on the battlefield still relies on balanced forces and good tactics, but it now also rewards the player's home city with influential experience that adds to the empire's overall power.Īge of Empires III Great Idea, But Needs Work On CombatĪge of Empires III has a great idea of advancing units and cities through eras of history, but is lacking control during battle. Players still race to advance from one technological "Age" to the next, but with each jump they may gain new political or diplomatic abilities, as well as technological proficiencies.
While settlers are still required to collect resources, they no long need to carry them back to a drop-off point. Each home county is offers different advantages, such as Britain's economic strength, France's propensity for allegiance with Native American civilizations, or Spain's formidable colonial presence.Īlthough Age of Empires III offers the sophisticated style of real-time strategy established earlier in the franchise, some aspects have been streamlined and others deepened. Players choose to guide one of eight Old World powers, and manage their empire from a European home city, but all of the base-building, battle, and conquest take place across the sprawling untamed wilderness of the Americas.
