The new game picks up where Age of Empires II: Age of Kings left off, placing gamers in the position of a European power determined to explore, colonize and conquer the New World.
You’ll play as a western nation that transplants colonists to the New World with the goals of basic survival, wealth, and domination which results in a combination of civilization simulation and real-time strategy combat.
Age of Empires III will also excite strategy gamers with new game-play elements, including the concept of a “Home Cityâ€. The Home City represents a player’s capital back in Europe and plays a supporting role in the attempt to control the New World. The better the player performs in the New World, the more powerful his Home City becomes. When your city levels up you can actually gain new items such as troops or supplies that you might need. Players can customize their Home City to reflect unique personality traits, making the Home City a vital character in the game.
