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).
