update details
Age of Empires 3 is a real-time strategy game set in 1565. You will take control of a hero named Morgan Black. He is a member of the Order of Malta. His tasks include protecting the citadel from the Ottoman Empire led by Sahin. During the battle, Morgan finds the Circle of Ossus scripture, which describes a certain Moon Lake. The hero goes to the New World to find a legendary place.
On the way, he will encounter the pirates of Elizabeth Ramsey and end up on the Yucatan Peninsula. The plot of Age of Empires III is divided into 3 acts: Blood, Ice and Steel. The events of each episode will take place in unique territories, where the hero will meet different characters and take part in various wars. Morgan will go through the Seven Years' War and meet George Washington, see the opening of the Falcon company and take part in the war with the Mexicans.
The following powers are involved in the conflict: Great Britain, Prussia, Holland, Spain, Portugal, the Russian Empire, the Ottomans and France. Each country has its own leader, including Napoleon I, Elizabeth I, Ivan the Terrible IV, Henry the Navigator, etc. Each commander is represented by unique abilities. For example, Elizabeth builds mansions instead of houses, Henry uses a telescope, and Ivan creates infantry and settlements with a large group of people at once.
The main game Age of Empires III comes with two extensive expansion packs: The WarChiefs and The Asian Dynasties. In the first addon, three indigenous nations of America are introduced: the Iroquois, Sioux and Aztecs, and a new type of units appears - the infantry of the colonial army. The second expansion focuses on Asian powers such as Japan, China and India. The plot of this addon is not related to the main game.
