Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition - United States Civilization Review (D-Lusional)
What's good about the United States?
- Build several forts with their explorer who can also enhance nearby units's attack and speed up production times for buildings.
- Spawn gatling guns in place of field guns which can be enhanced with a shipment to fire rapidly without a need to reload.
- Be great for essentially any role and strategy. To further enhance their booming potential, they can get shipments to make every market and arsenal upgrade for free, albeit for the latter for a price of increased upgrade times. In Age 2 they're able to make a capitol building which can spawn wagons to build TCs, towers, farms/estates and trade posts.
- Use shipments to bring in villagers, units and buildings from other civs such as 1 Dutch bank and 3 French villagers.
- Use a shipment available in age 1 which reveals every treasure and trade site on the map for you and your team, which is essentially 80% of the map revealed. It also spawns a 100xp crate for your team.
- Adds two new cards for yourself whenever you age up.
How about the bad?
- They only get 21 cards per deck.
- Their English voices sound terrible.
- Civ heavily focused on range. United States doesn't have any melee units except for their hussar and mercenaries/natives.
- As you can guess in the positives above, they are heavily reliant on shipments.
