Synopsis

The vast ocean stretches before you. Life aboard the ship grows more difficult every day. Supplies are running low. Tempers are running short. An increasingly smaller number of the crew has any faith left in you, their captain. They've heard about life in the Americas — the vast lands, the natives and the small bands of colonists living on the edge of constant disaster. The voyage continues to degenerate. The men are at the breaking point. Suddenly, on the horizon, a dark shape rises into view — it's the New World.

Age of Empires III recreates the excitement of the age of exploration and conquest, from roughly 1500 to 1850. As a European power from England, France or Spain, you will explore and conquer North and South America. Engage in epic battles with realistic effects and period weapons. Explore colonial-era elements and form potential alliances with Native Americans. Build a Home City back in Europe and utilize its growing wealth to fuel your conquests. It's a fantastic way to combine history, strategy and the discovery of diverse cultures. Set out for the New World.
