Graphics
Age of Empires III isn?t just one of the best-looking real-time
strategy games ever, it?s one of the best-looking games of any
kind ever.
Much like a persistent character in a role-playing game, your
Home City is a support system that regularly sends you supplies
or reinforcements. As you get better, your Home City
becomes stronger, allowing you to unlock new types of soldiers or
buildings, broaden your tech tree, and customize the appearance
of your city. You can even visit your Home City to watch its
citizens, get an opinion on how you?re doing, or plot your next
move.
You?re in control of large and diverse armies of infantry,
cavalry, artillery, Native American warriors, mercenaries, and
ships. You can assign different formations to your army, like
Volley, Charge, or Bombard, or have the game automatically choose
the most appropriate formation for you.
The real-time physics cause infantry struck by cannon balls to
get thrown like rag dolls, perhaps even over a cliff into the
water. Cannon balls bounce and ricochet. Shingles, shutters, and
whole towers may fly off a building and interact with the
terrain. And, with hundreds of unique combat animations, you?ll
never see the same battle twice.
Tone ping gives scenes a photorealistic look by balancing
colors in a scene. Units and buildings cast realistic shadows
based on the sun?s position. Water glistens like water, foams
near the shore, and reflections change with the viewing angle,
the angle of sunlight, and the motion of the water. Steep cliffs
jut from the terrain like paintings from the American Southwest.
