They are the Sufis, the Shaolin, the Zen, the Udasi, the Bhakti, and the Jesuits. There are six new native civilizations available for hire in The Asian Dynasties.
These monks have the ability of 'Stun' instead of 'Sharpshooter Attack' (as for European powers) or 'Nature Friendship' (as in the War Chiefs). Each Asian civilization has monks, instead of explorers as in previous games. Three new civilizations are added in Age of Empires III: The Asian Dynasties.
Export Rate / Experience points are also generated by other means (like sacred cows for Indians) and are specific to each civilization.
Export is generated automatically when the villagers are gathering, but its gather rate is much slower than other resources, making it challenging to afford a large foreign army. Rather than introduce new methods of gameplay, most changes were focused on introducing new content to the game.Įxport is a special resource, only available to the three Asian civilizations, and is used to hire foreign troops and research technologies from the consulate, where the player can choose a foreign ally or, for the Japanese, isolationism. The gameplay of Age of Empires III: The Asian Dynasties followed a similar format to the original game, Age of Empires III.
