Age of Empires 3 is the third addition in the
Age of Empires series, a real-time strategy game (my fav. genre) that was created by
Ensemble Studios. Ensemble Studios is (sadly) no longer making games.
AOE3 takes you back to the colonization of the
Americas, where you can play as several unique factions, each having similar and different units as well as abilities they can evoke. AOE3 has two expansion packs, including the Warchiefs as well as the
Asian Dynasties.
In this video, I show you one of the most effective strategies in a 40-minute treaty game, with the water factor. This tactic is practically similar to the modern shock & awe tactic, as well as the
Blitzkrieg strategy.
Personally, using this method, I will win 9/10 games, while also making my teammates very happy ;). The enemies, on the other hand, not so much.
Characteristics of this strategy:
+
1.
Strong Economic
Advantage
2. "
Hopeless advantage" (
Enemy feels there is no way to win)
3. Very straightforward method
4.
Nearly unstoppable armies
-
1.
Base is vulnerable
2. Only one type of unit (can be countered by, ex. falconet)
3. Micromanagement can become difficult (although this comes with every strategy)
HOW TO DO THIS METHOD (Rundown) (
SEA):
1. Set all villagers onto wood.
2. Establish at least two docks (send east indiamen card)
3.
Spam ships & watch for whales! Also, make sure you have enough villagers to supply wood for boats & SHRINES!
4.
Once all whales are occupied by ships, set villagers to food & begin aging up to age
V.
5. Once there, construct a barracks & complete all samurai upgrades.
6.
Train at least 49 samurai, put into defense position w/ explorer, then move them behind the enemy.
7.
Leave none alive!
Cards in deck (SEA):
advanced dock, good faith agreements, fish market, east indiamen, whale oil, sawmills rendering plant, the daimyo, diplomatic intrigue, onin war, samurai attack, yumi archer attack, seven lucky gods, way of the bow, the two dojos, intervention, the other daimyo, bakafu, warring states, royal mint, refrigeration, textile mill,
Tokugawa, and the 15 ronin
HOW TO DO THIS METHOD (Rundown) (
LAND):
---This is a somewhat harder method & may not be as effective.---
1. Set all villagers to food, & age up
ASAP! Make sure to build shrines near animals!
Shrines will be your #1 priority in this tactic.
2. Upgrade explorers w/ mountain warrior card.
Capture as many treasures as possible.
3. Keep spamming villies, until you have around
100.
4. Age up the entire time you have been doing these.^
5. Train around 49 samurai, put in defense mode w/ explorer
6.
Carnage!
Cards in deck (LAND):
heavenly kami, mountain warrior, good faith agreements,
TEAM chonido, sawmills, sumptuary laws, sustainable agriculture, daimyo , diplomatic intrigue, onin war, samurai attack, yumi archer attack, seven lucky gods, way of the bow, the two dojos again, the other daimyo, bakafu, warring states, royal mint, refrigeration, terraced hillsides, texile mill, and again, Tokugawa and the 15 ronin
