AoE3: Napoleonic Era - Swedes (Me) vs. Dutch (CPU)

Yet another showcase of the Napoleonic Era mod for Age of Empires III, which can be downloaded here: http://www.ne.elpea.net/forum/downloads.html

This time I play as Sweden, against the Dutch AI. On the Malta map. This map have quite abundant fish and whales, however there are galleys on the waters and sometimes, Janissaries or Hoop Throwers on land that will attack you if you get too much close, just like the wild animals from Age of Empires 2, so you'll need a few warships and troops of your own to take them down.

About the Swedes, they have a strong military, at the expense of economy: All their units have 10% more HP and attack in comparison to other civs, however all their units (Including settlers) also train slower, are 10% more expensive and Sweden is limited to 50 settlers. So you need to carefully pick battles when playing as them, since they cannot recover as easily as some civilizations.

Sweden gets the hunting dogs, placer mines and all woodcutting upgrades for free. Their explorers can build cooper and gold mines, so they have little to no need to build plantations for gathering coin late game.

Instead of building houses and barracks, they build Torps: They're expensive to build, but provide population space, trains infantry and provides a small wood trickle. It also makes them potential targets for enemies, thanks to it's multiple roles, is important to place them defensively, such as around your Town Center.

Unit upgrades are cheaper for the Swedes, and all Swedish infantry and cavalry, with exception of Hand Canoneers and Pikemen, can be upgraded to Royal Guard.

The Swedes have two unique units: The Drabant, which is a strong, but expensive heavy cavalry unit and the Leather Cannon, a cheap artillery unit which chews down melee infantry and cavalry rather quickly, but perform poorly against ranged units and are highly vulnerable tower/town center fire.

Here I allied with the Maltese Knights: They allow you train Hoop Throwers (From the AoE3 campaign) and Maltese Knights.

@LucasHidemiKomori but how did you get a dutch on your mod because I want to play against dutch and it don't have dutch on it.

[LucasHidemiKomori]

@Killer62262 I edited the AI personality files, so I could play against the old civilizations (Since most of the new AIs in the NE mod simply don't work).

[Killer62262]

there's alot of mod like war of the triple alliance, napoleonic era, africa and italy TAD, and some others.

@DigitalNoScop3 Scrolling the mouse wheel. A feature not included on the original game and expansion packs.

It's only possible to do this on the NE mod and some modpacks.
