AoE3: Napoleonic Era - Americans (me) vs. Swiss (CPU)

Playing a single player match against the CPU on the Napoleonic Era mod for Age of Empires III, which can be downloaded here: http://www.ne.elpea.net/forum/downloads.html

Yet another Napoleonic Era mod video. This time I played as the americans against the swiss on Honshu map (Sadly, I didn't had the schooners card, so I couldn't go for a fish boom).

The swiss AI will try to attack you early, so make sure you have a reasonable force to fend them off, until you're ready to siege their base. Marines are cheap and can be trained not only from barracks but from docks too, but they're pretty weak, so don't bother massing them. Just train some for base defense.

Since marines are weak, I've used native allies here to protect my skirmishers. Soheis are fare quite well against cavalry and have a strong siege attack (Just like pikemen, except they look way cooler).

Frontiersmen automatically generate food (0.72 food per second. If you send the "Lewis and Clark expedition" card, their automatic food generation increases to 0.92) when they're on forager mode, so after your initial frontiersmen have finished unpacking the food and wood crates put them on forager mode and go treasure hunting. You can also use them to build forward bases.

Instead of shipping mercenaries, the americans ship immigrants: Here I sent the Miner immigrantes card, which sends you 4 miners, 3 petards, a mine wagon (Used to build a cooper mine) and increases your miners gather rate for 800 food. Pretty sweet.

After I fended off the swiss attack on my forward base, I attacked their base with soheis (Against hussars and buildings) and skirmishers (Against heavy infantry and to snipe down foragers). And the three petards that I got from the "Miner Immigrants" card proved to be quite useful here. Since they're enough to destroy the swiss town center (The swiss buildings are weaker than other civilizations), effectively crippling them.

HOW DO YOU ROTATE BUILDING WTF!!!!

[LucasHidemiKomori]

@Soler4485 Using the mouse wheel. You can't do that on the original AoE3, unless you do some modding, though.

@LucasHidemiKomori My american frontiersman dont have tactics, is that a modern version of the NE?

[LucasHidemiKomori]

@CSnakeV You have to turn the advanced formations option on, if I'm not mistaken.

Frontiersman have two modes (At least from what I remember): A scout mode which allows them to generate food automatically and an attack mode, which increases their attack.

I download the all Age of Empires 3 expansion and when i play it, it keeps me shut down for 15 to 30 minutes.

seriously do you have any ideas why my computer shut down when i play Age of Empires 3 expansion?

[LucasHidemiKomori]

@Zineter50 The NE mod only works with an original copy of AoE3. So, if you illegally downloaded the game (and expansion packs), it won't work properly. Also, the mod won't work if you're using no-cd cracks.
