Age of Empires III

Genre(s): Real-Time Strategy Links: Official Website Wikipedia Article

Description:

Age of Empires III (also called AoE III) is a real-time strategy game developed by Ensemble Studios, and published by Microsoft; it was released on October 18, 2005 in North America, and on November 4 of the same year in Europe. It is the third title of the Age of Empires series, and the sequel to Age of Empires II: The Conquerors. The game covers the European colonization of the Americas, in a time frame approximately between AD 1500 and 1850.

The game has made a number of innovations, both in the series and the genre, such as the addition of the Home City concept, which combines Real-time strategy (RTS) and Role-playing game (RPG) features; and an advanced physics engine to animate it, making battles more realistic. An expansion pack, named Age of Empires III: The Warchiefs, was also released, introducing new features, units, and civilizations.
