DESCRIPTION
Following a well-received break to the realms of ancient mythology, Ensemble Studios returns its real-time strategy sensibilities to the real world with this third edition of the historically themed Age of Empires series. After conquering the Continent in earlier editions and expansion packs, the series stakes claim to the New World in Age of Empires III. 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. 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.
Although 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. While settlers are still required to collect resources, they no long need to carry them back to a drop-off point. 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. 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. ~ T.J.

“The card-based/computer hybrid gameplay I find very enjoyable, though I know others who dislike it. The gun battles can be quite impressive, much more enjoyable than AoMythology's ranged combat.”

“Awesome game, the story element was implemented quite well, and I think that this game is a must play for any RTS fan. It is also good enough that it has the potential to attract new gamers to the genre.”

“Persistant RTS; those are the two words that describe it the best. I found that I was becoming bored with thew RTS genre in general until this came along. The ability to "level up" your home city adds tons of re playability to this game.”

“Old fashioned RTS now usurped by more action oriented games like DOW and COH. I still have a fondness for sending out my villagers to chop wood and mine gold. I do wish they didn't need so much babysitting though.”
