I just bought the game, haven't even opened it yet, you're the fourth video I've watched and by far the most helpful for understanding the game's strategic mechanics. Just knowing that it's a race and 40 seconds can matter so much in the beginning against competent players is a huge piece of knowledge for absolute beginners like me.

Unless I'm doing 1v1 supremacy, I always ship a wood chop upgrade card (hardwoods!). By the end of a normal age 2, the return far exceeds 700 wood and it compounds far beyond 3000 wood in age 4. Wood is a critical, hard to get resource until the factories are there and even more important for upgrades and map control than specialized cards. Also, gathering wood is safe and requires little walking, making wood crates after age 2 a bad idea. There are hundreds of similar discussions about other cards which makes this game compelling vs the other age games.

i removed the previous coments for being rude thank you for the comment! however i disagree and would love to talk about why. when you say late age 2 i am assuming you are saying 700 wood is fine, but exotic hardwoods surpasses 600 wood late age 2 and 1000 wood early age 3 if sent at those times, so i'll be mathematicly comparing exotic hardwoods to both those shipments the 20% buff from hardwoods provides an additional 0.1 wood per second from the 0.5 base. gather rate boosts in aoe3 are additive and not multiplicative, so hardwoods is worth exactly 0.1 wood per second per villager and no more. this means if 10 villagers are chopping wood, exotic hardwoods is giving you 1 extra wood per second. 10 villagers is about the max i usually go for wood choppers even with malta who use a lot of wood, since any more and you really overgather it. i only go above this usually in the late game when i really need farms and estates because hunts and mines have completely run out, so i figured it's a fair number for comparing exotic hardwoods at late age 2 to early age 3 (probably around the 12 minute mark) with these numbers in mind, it would take 10 villagers constantly chopping 600 seconds for exotic hardwoods to be worth a 600 wood shipment and start exceeding it. thats 10 entire minutes, which is not a very good investment, as most games end by the 20 minutemark anyways, especially if your opponent sent 600 wood at the same time as you sending hardwoods.20 villagers could get that value in 5 minutes, but unless you're water booming having 20 vills on wood in age 2 is impractical. you're also better off saving your shipment for age 3 and just sending 1000. it takes 10 villagers 16 minutes and 40 seconds of chopping to equal that one out. with 15 vills, which might be feasable in age 3 when the numbers are higher, it would still take them over 11 minutes in order to provide the 1000 that would send and allow for you to finally benefit from the card there are times when this card can be good, and those times are in treaty, and if you are water booming and planning from the beginning to drag out the game into the very late stages, even in water boomings case though, you wanna send 700 wood first. but other situations require an extremely heavy time investment that exceeds most game legnths

@@bisongaming729 Hardwood won't work for aggressive supremacy 1v1 2v2, but wood ages 2-3 is the key, hard to get resource unlike in aoe2 unless you send other types of wood cards like tc/towers. And to the rude fellow, always do the 3 vills 1st if you have that.

Great video an Tips! In 11:58 instead of the optional 4 (chop wood) I think is more important and not that optional use your explorer to scout and collect some treasures. He should not be in your base at all from the start of the game. Even if is only walking around it will be much better than standing in his ground. That applies for all civs

@lunar.nepneus 6 ай бұрын

This 100%. Doesn't matter the RTS genre, you always scout. Can't counter what you don't know. And getting the treasures can deduct time needed to age up or whatever it may be and that can be life or death when getting rushed.

For me the farm is a great tool if you know how to use it. It can generate foods or coins for u. The drawbacks are... there are lots of uprages that from each age. And to max the resources out... need to gather 10 people inside. While market is also recommend if you want to harvest natural resources quickly and to sell/buy natural resources

My suggestion was to avoid playing ottomans because there EASIER, and specifically because you don't learn the muscle memory for constantly queing vills by playing them, which makes them an easy civ, but a bad one for new players just learning the game

@bisongaming729 Жыл бұрын

In age 1, the rule of thumb is keep enough settlers on wood to garuntee settler production, but no more. To start I usually build 2 house and set 7 vills to wood, with everyone else going to food However once you have sent distribution, you can reallocate so only 4 are on wood and everyone else can focus on you getting to age 2

Age of empires 3's stand out feature is the shipment system Basically, XP functions as a 4th resource in this game, and is earned by training units, building houses, killing enemies, and owning trade posts. Whenever you get enough XP for a shipment, you can send a shipment. Shipments can be extra military units, extra settlers, wagons that construct unique one time buildings, or even unique improvements and technologies (such as wignacourt construction for the Maltese, which gives you 25% extra gather rate to all natural resources if your settlers are near outposts or town centers) On your game UI, there should be a little logo somewhere with your flag and a number (probably 0). The number is how many shipments you can send at the moment. The visuals of the flag is like an XP bar that will tell you how much more XP you need to get the next shipment. Clicking the flag will bring you to your home city, where you can select shipments to send The shipments you have available to you are customizable. Each civilization has entirely unique shipments available only to them, but you can only take 25 of them to take with you in a game. (Shipments are also locked behind certain ages, with most being unable to be sent until ages 2, 3, or even 4) your selection of shipments to take so you can pick from them in a match is called your deck. You can change your deck at the title screen in the customize your home city section. Designing a deck is completely integral to your build order, and I have a different deck and I have a different deck for every strategy. I have like 20 different decks between just the 3 civs I mainly play Not gonna go to into how to make a deck in this comment, but a little tip is that if you're civ has access to the 3 vill shipment in age 1 (roughly 3/4 of the civs get some version of this) it should ALWAYS be your first card no questions asked

Question... If I'm in Age 1 and I get an Age 1 shipment to boost wood chopping by 15%, doesn't that stay in for rest of the game and all Ages? What if I start in Age 4? Wouldn't an Age 1 wood chopping shipment still apply?

Yes it will always stay. The shipments always deliver exactly what they say. The age they are in is entirely irrelevant except as an unlock requirement If you are age 3, you can send age 1, 2, and 3 cards
