Same Age
Still remember the first time I played Age of Empires III, still remember that fantastic experience. Remember I was amazed by the news that game brought to as consolidated franchise Age of Empires. Over years I ended up leaving aside my old friend who accompanied me for several nights and early mornings filled with hours of play. However, by entering recently in specialized sites, I was surprised by the announcement of the launch of Age of Empires III Complete Colection. Unlike what happened with the remastered Age of Empires II, Age of Empires III Complete Colection does not present anything new, just good old Age III in a complete package with all expansions.
Although it has no novelty, Age of Empires III continues to be a good choice. The variety of civilizations with its advantages and disadvantages along the good metropolis card system do a great RTS game

The WarChiefs
Sioux Nation
With the discovery of gold in the sacred black mountains, the Sioux had sporadic conflicts with the new immigrants, generating the Indian War and eventually the Battle of the Little Big Horn. The Sioux Nation consists of three distinct geographical divisions of people who speak the Sioux language: the Lakota, Dakota and Nakota the. In the Sioux language these names mean "friend." These people are known to train very well their horses and their biggest advantage over enemies is its rapid and strong cavalry.

The Iroquois formed the League of Five Nations long before the arrival of Europeans in North America. They have a constitution with very specific laws for the selection of warlords, guides and even speakers for funerals. Benjamin Franklin had great respect for the Iroquois community. During the American Revolution some tribes, some allied with the British and other the settlers, dismantled the powerful confederation of the Iroquois. Equipped with a powerful artillery and deadly weapons, this civilization can trigger a great rematch anytime.

Another unit, the Daimyo, is practically a quarter-mobile as it is able to "train" infantry units and artillery in combat. The penalty for such power, however, is reasonable. Since - grounded in cultural traits of these people - you can only collect fish food, not being allowed to hunt them and create cattle. Moreover, it is possible to create around these animals sanctuaries to collect, obscure, food manner. Another advantage of the Japanese is that many letters can be sent twice, thereby doubling the benefits gained from them.
