Short description

Age of Empires III will offer gamers the next level of realism, with advanced battle physics and unparalleled visual detail. 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. This time period features stunning scenes, from towering European cathedrals to courageous tribes of Native Americans, and spectacular combat with Industrial Age units like rifled infantry, cavalry and tall ships bristling with cannons.

Long description

Features:

New Feature – Home Cities - Players have access to their own European Home City for economic, technological and military support. Your Home City's success depends on you, with your city's improvements retained between games.

Full 3-D Graphics, Destructible Environments and More - The goal of our Age of Empires III team here at Ensemble Studios wasn't just to build the best-looking graphics ever in an RTS game. It was to build the best-looking graphics in any game. Period. Did our team succeed?

The graphics is excellent and the gameplay very good. The new Home City and the Trading routes / posts assist in getting in resources faster which gives you more options for your strategy. The experience that you gain in one campaign is transferred to the next - something that can give you quite an advantage in the long run. Seems like fun! The Trial Version can be downloaded at www.ageofempires.com. It is 360 Mb in size, so do not try to download over a modem!

after playing the demo i was very disapointed the game is the first AOE game that has to my knoledge been so badly recieved the first 2 were master pieces of game dynamics but this time not only have they changed it for the worse but they have reduced the number of playbel civs to 8 ( thats the lowest yet) it covers what they should have fully covered in aoe2:conquerers exp they also miss out some of the mojor historical events going on at the time Such as the napolionic wars ,the african settlement, the opium wars ETC. they arent letting you play as any of the native american tribes or empires your troops dont upgrade to new kinds anymore and you cant play the same civ against the same civ eg: spain vs spain id rate it a disgrace to the aoe franchise

Bland and boring

I was really looking forward to a great game and i'm a big Age of Empires fan. I think it's a big let down. Like most games these days the gameplay is boring. Everything is given to you on a silver platter (resources, upgrades etc) and the understanding of the game lacks logic. It's relatively unrealistic and craves creativity. A 2 year old could play this game. But great graphics.
