Age of Empires 3: Complete Collection

Age of Empires 3: Complete Collection is a real-time strategy game dedicated to the era of colonization. The player leads the power from the first settlements to major battles, managing the economy, army and diplomacy. A special feature of the game is the card system: a deck is assembled before the party, and these cards provide reinforcements, resources or technologies. This changes the approach to development, because the entire strategy depends on the choice. In addition to battles, trade and the development of territories, as well as interaction with local peoples, are important. The collection includes basic additions that add new powers and campaigns. The design looked modern for its time, and the interface was detailed. In addition to battles, research and trade are important, and colonies grow along with needs. Cards collected manually before the party provide reinforcements and technologies, so the campaign plan must be approached in advance. There are separate scenarios with their own conditions and settings for playing with other people. Separate additions add new powers and campaigns, which significantly expands the volume. The community released its own maps and modifications, so familiar rules do not interfere with finding new development options. Sieges require preparation: walls, towers and troops require resources, and without a supply of food the city will not last long. Trade routes and alliances sometimes provide more than an extra regiment. Games can go on for months, so many people prefer short scenarios with predetermined conditions. For those who love classic strategies with a historical twist, the collection provides the full volume.
