Age of Empires III

Description

Age of Empires III is the latest installment in the series of very popular real-time strategy games. The main idea of the gameplay remains unchanged: with the limited amount of resources and a handful of settlers, you must think about the expansion of your colony. Besides the strong economic thread, you should also think about the development of your army.

The game offers you a complex single-player campaign that is divided into three acts. You can also challenge yourself in the multiplayer mode where you can command one of the European powers (from French to Russian).

Trivia

Age of Empires III on Windows uses the Havok physics engine but few modern Mac titles have ever used it because of its licensing fee. MacSoft gutted Havok from the game and substituted it with a significantly less expensive technology called PhysX, developed by Ageia for its MAC port.
