NEW GAME MODE: EMPIRE WARS
Today, we’re excited to bring Empire Wars to Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition
– an additional game mode to accompany Supremacy, Treaty and Deathmatch, available NOW to everyone!
Like in Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition
, Empire Wars puts players into the action right away with additional resources and a bolstered economy. However, instead of a pre-built town, players use a steady trickle of free Homecity Construction Wagons to grow their town with buildings they choose – making what you build and when a valuable decision!Gameplay
- Gameplay begins in the Exploration Age with enough resources to choose a first Politician bonus, Wonder, or Federal State, etc, right away!
- All Cards and each Age-Up deliver Construction Wagons that can make nearly all default buildings (excluding Houses*, TCs and Banks)
- In Empire Wars shipments are earned more often and ship faster, additionally, an extra one is awarded upon reaching the Commerce Age, ensuring every match begins on even footing
- Many buildings are available an age sooner – including one Town Center
- Most civs begin with a free Outpost Wagon or Castle rickshaw — other starting units/resources vary as per balance requirements
