The Home City

Adding a persistent Home City is a signiﬁcant difference

in gameplay between Age of Empires III and other games

in the Age of Empires franchise. Your Home City provides

your colony with resources, establishes the improvements

and units you can leverage, and gives you a level of control

over your own destiny.

You grow your Home City over time through the

acquisition of experience points, which you earn each

time your civilization does one of the following:

Discovers Treasure.

Defeats enemy units (including Treasure guardians)

or buildings.

Builds or trains units.

Achieves certain milestones (most Treasures, most

kills, and so on) that garner postgame awards.

Completes objectives in the single-player Campaign.

As your experience points mount, your Home City

level steadily advances. Higher-level Home Cities can

provide more powerful shipments of units, resources,

or improvements.

Your time spent in advancing the level of your Home City

during the single-player Campaign will hone your skills

for multiplayer games. By sticking with a civilization and

learning the intricacies of its capabilities and limits, you’ll

be able to take this knowledge and experience with you

online to compete with other Age of Empires III players.

Forming Alliances with Native Americans

Your playable civilization can also form alliances with the

Native American nations in the New World:

Aztec Iroquois

Carib Lakota

Cherokee Maya

Comanche Nootka

Cree Seminole

Inca Tupi

By forming alliances, you gain their help during battle

and can acquire extra resources such as Food or Coin.

(You only battle Native Americans when they’re allied

with enemy civilizations.)

You form an alliance by building a Trading Post next to

a Native American settlement.

To ally with a Native American nation

1. Have your Settlers gather sufﬁcient resources to build

a Trading Post.

2. Send your Explorer or Settler to ﬁnd a Native

American settlement.

3. Select your Explorer or Settler and then click the

Trading Post button on the Command panel.

You can now leverage military units and other

improvements offered by that nation. (Trading Posts you

build on Trade Routes will offer different beneﬁts. They

generate experience points for your Home City and can

create Stagecoaches and other improvements to enhance

the ﬂow of commerce across their routes.)
