Age of Empires 3

Age of Empires 3 plays very similarly to Rise of Nations.
Make a bountiful empire, acquire resources, expand your bountiful empire, and then conquer other empires.
Through the course of this rise to power you can visit 'home citys'. to make empires you have to start out with several settlers or you can start nomadic if you wish. I haven't tried it but i think it would be quite challenging. with these settlers you must build a manor which increases you're population limit. From then on you can hunt deer, cut down forests, and mine silver. you build barracks, and stables, for infantry and calvalry, and armorys and a seperate building for upgrading units and calvalry and make grenadiers.
From you're home city you can send shipments like extra settlers, musketeers, falconets (cannons) and food.
And what is helpful you can get to the home city by just the *click* of a mouse.
The military infantry ranges from longbowmen to hussars.
This is an AMAZING game and if you like RTS's than I strongly recommend this game.
