The game will set a new standard for visual quality and amaze players with detail never before seen in an RTS. Age of Empires III will excite strategy gamers with new game-play elements, including the concept of a “Home City,“ new civilizations, units, technologies and an immersive new single-player campaign that will span three generations.

One programmer has been devoted to nothing but water effects, just to ensure that the lapping oceans in the game look their very best. PC Gamer
Ensemble built a brand-new graphics engine from the ground up that includes features like dynamic shadows and lighting; support for Pixel Shader 3.0; bloom effects that make lit objects seem to glow onscreen; and tone mapping to create near-photorealistic images. PC Gamer
We have musketeers who fire in volley formation. We have tall ships that punch holes in each other's sails. We have cannon shots that can literally throw infantry off the ground, and perhaps off a cliff, and down into the water. When buildings are destroyed, we model the physics of the falling pieces. IGN

I haven't been checking up on the latest games, so I was surprised to see AofE is coming out with another one.
I play one of them almost daily and several hours on the weekend.
I just started playing the original one again, but mostly I enjoy the Star Wars Edition.

I played the 2 scenarios. The game is really fun, and the graphics are amazing. Its more complicated and challenging than age 2, but its great. I cant wait to get the full game.
damn.... when i start the game i get this error:
"Your video hardware is not supported by Age of Empires III.
System information: 2200 MHz, 256 MB, 64 MB 845 (vendorID 8086, deviceID 2562)"
i can still play the game, but it doesn't run smooth.
any quick way to fix this... or is it time to buy some new hardware???

the game is great. However some bugs MUST be fixed.
e.g.: A treasure quest in skirmish were you have to kill a pirate, the pirate floats instead of walking, and after 2-3 shots, in the fourth he gets full health instead of take more damage. The only way to kill him is with the sharpshooter ability...

If you didnt notice. It is built on the Age of Mythology Engine. So the rules are the game are pretty much different. I didnt like Age of Mythology very much, but for some reason, I love Age 3 just as much as I love the other ones. I just dont like the building limits. 7 watch towers? And when I get the "tower limit increase" card to add to my deck, it doesnt do anything. And all you need is like 5 cannons to win the game. But I love it, tons of technologies, and many wayas to play the game.

Welcome to the New World of Strategy
It's the dawn of a new age in real-time strategy (RTS) games. A brave New World is rising – a hostile yet beautiful world, filled with innovative gameplay, new strategic scenarios, eye-searing graphics and much more.
Welcome to a world called Age of Empires III.
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. Learn more (http://HomeCity.aspx).
http://www.ageofempires3.com/Images/Sections/GameFeatures/bdyhm_GF_hmcities.jpg
http://www.ageofempires3.com/Images/Sections/GameFeatures/bdyhm_GF_graphics.jpg
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 anyFind out (http://Graphics.aspx). game. Period. Did our team succeed?
Civlizations
[/url]
The Spanish have a strong military, with both hand infantry and cavalry. Flexibility in early shipments from the Home City give the Spanish the option to attack early or set up for a strong, late economy. Spanish Home City improvements benefit soldiers, buildings and naval units.
Quick access to Settlers gives the British one of the strongest economies in the game. The ability to upgrade two key units – the Musketeer and Hussar – make the British military formidable in the late game. The British Home City emphasizes improvements to technology and naval warfare.
Although the French economy starts slowly, the Coureur unit, a Villager with strong fighting skills, makes the French difficult to attack early. The French also have the strongest cavalry unit in the game – the Cuirassier. Plus, the French are experts at allying with the Native Americans.
Starting the game with two Town Centers, the Portuguese can quickly produce Settlers, control territory or support their allies. The Spyglass ability allows the Portuguese to easily spy on the enemy. The Portuguese also have a strong navy, strong light infantry and the best Dragoons in the game.
Although Dutch Settlers are limited and costly, their civilization makes up for this economic disadvantage by building Banks and generating coin automatically. The Dutch Home City emphasizes upgrades to defense and economy.
The Germans have fewer Settlers and therefore a slower economy. Fortunately, both the Settler Wagon and Uhlan cavalry spawn for free from the German Town Center. Plus, the Germans start with the ability to send Mercenaries from their Home City (long before other civilizations can).
Starting the game with extra resources but fewer Settlers gives the Russians the flexibility of focusing on economy or an early raid. Russian infantry, individually weak, are trained in blocks at a faster rate, providing the Russians with the opportunity to overwhelm their enemy with greater numbers.
(http://Spanish.aspx)For the Ottomans, Settlers spawn automatically from the Town Center. Building a Mosque and conducting research help keep that Settler production steady. Befitting their position straddling Europe and Asia, the Ottomans have more unique units than any other civilization.
European civilizations can learn new technologies and gain troops by forging alliances with the Native Americans. A British player who allies with the Iroquois is essentially playing as two civilizations: the British and the Iroquois.

The tower limitation was to avoid the AOE2 tower fest :D This prevents players from building all over the map:D
The building time has to increase a little bit as well as the resources gathering.

I like however, how there is no seige weapon that has like the largest range in the game. Everything is able to be killed by something, there is no super-powerful units. You can counter something with something else. And I also like how there are no seige units/regular units with larger range than a tower's range, which gets annoying having to defend the towers. Its just great, Ive played the demo for about a week straight now. I have a question, will the city only level up to level 9? Because there are a bunch of cards I want to get, but I have played 3 battles now and no level up...

i've been playing age of empires 2 as of late. pretty fun, im not that good at it, but it's always fun to knock down enemies buildings. except when they build 4 f'n castles with buildings all over the map. ran in the little explosive dudes, but they arent very powerful, take 30 to knock out a castle. the trebuchets are ridiculously underarmed, 4 or five hits from a few archers and it's dead.
Wolfmight

If you think the demo is tough, try this for a change.
I recommend making an army of about:
15 Musketeers, 15 grenadiers, 3 cannons, 3 rockets. That'll hold off all the invasions as long as you continue to supply them with reinforcements when the others die. I'm pretty sure your cannons and rockets will barely die off, if not at all.
Only grab coin from your shipments, since it's very limited on the lands. You also need to build some walls to divert the enemy's armies into one point.. enclose your city except the area you want the enemy to attack...obviously they are pretty stupid to only attack that one area. Eh, I never lost a single piece of wall!!!
If you want to attack the enemy..build atleast 2-3 rockets, 10 musketeers, and 5 grenadiers. Those rockets will annihilate the hell out of any building!!! I love how they fire in infinite supply!!! You could blow sh*t up all day if you had a group of 20 rockets guarded with 20 musketeers! Blood baths!

my 9500 pro still gets a good 85-90 fps on Halo.

It is easy, just get a ton of Seminole and Aztec warriors, some Howizers and you can take it over in no time, destroy the Fort towers with Howitzers and you are home free. Jaguar, Eagle, and Seminole Sharktooths all upgraded are very powerful units.

You dont download the first 2 torrents, because they are on private trackers, download the 3rd torrent.
If there is a lock next to the torrent name, it means you cant download it without registering on a private tracker.
