Age of Empires III 2005

Is it still worth playing?

You start with a town center or a wagon that builds into one, an armed explorer and a modest number of villagers. It is a real time strategy game, released for PC in October 2005 and for the Mac in 2006. They explore the map and gather resources to build units and buildings and to research upgrades. Training units, constructing buildings and killing enemies earn experience points. At certain thresholds the player earns shipments that can be turned in for cards from the player's Home City, which can include units, upgrades or resources. The player advances through technological Ages that stand for historical time periods and unlock greater improvements, units and buildings. A game ends when one side resigns. Building an empire through the Ages is still a good way to spend an evening.
