The Home City &

Multiplayer

Central to the multiplayer experience in Age of Empires

III is the new Home City, which puts a player’s economic

and military strategy skills to the test.

Before the inclusion of the Home City, a player with a

weaker economy could win simply by building a massive

military and overwhelming other players. The Home City

concept requires that players understand their civilization’s

strengths and weaknesses, develop strategies, and execute

on those strategies—good or bad—during gameplay.

Home City Levels Versus Player Level

In multiplayer mode, you can manage multiple Home

Cities, just like in a single-player Campaign, but they are

tied to your ESO account. Each Home City in multiplayer

also has its own Home City level, as in single player, but

note that your Home City level doesn’t necessarily reﬂect

your skills as a player.

Home City Determines the resources and

Level improvements available to you during

a game.

Player Level Represents how well you currently play

the game.

Multiplayer Game Types

In multiplayer, you can play two types of games that

require quite different skills and strategies to win:

Supremacy Players begin their game without any

resources and must achieve victory by

conquest or surrender.

Deathmatch Players begin their game with a

stockpile of resources and move

through the game at a high speed.
