Age of Empires III Part 14 walkthrough: strategies for the northern and southern bases, unit deployment, and defeating British attacks.
Walkthrough
- 1As soon as you have the wood, build more units in the north; this also completes a secondary objective.
- 2In the north, group all units around the tower and manually manage each battle.
- 3Let the British approach the tower, then pull your units out from behind it to engage them one by one.
- 4Prevent the British from focusing solely on the tower; ensure they target your units while staying within the tower's range.
- 5Research Iroquois Morning Wars and Iroquois Lacrosse from the trading post when affordable.
- 6In the Fortress Age, research Iroquois Warrior Societies.
- 7By the Industrial Age, have thirty-seven units, including Nonahkee, positioned by the tower in Defend mode.
- 8Heal and replace units after each battle and watch for incoming enemy units.
- 9Repair the two crucial buildings and upgrade the tower when possible.
- 10Once Nonahkee is safe, build up an army in the south, aiming for the Industrial Age before attacking.
- 11A suggested southern army includes three mortars and about thirty other upgraded units.
- 12Consider using the Fort card to build a fort just south of the red gates.
- 13Use mortars to attack the gates and towers, drawing the British army out and causing them to prioritize your southern base.
- 14Send Nonahkee's army south to meet your main army near the British base.
- 15Upon meeting, a new objective may appear: DESTROY ALL THE BRITISH BUILDINGS TO UNITE KANYENKE AND NONAHKEE.
- 16With the entire map revealed, destroy all British buildings.
Tips
- Max out all unit upgrades except healers in the north.
- Nonahkee can heal companions by herself.
- Mortars and a fort south of the red gates significantly disadvantage the British.
Walkthrough
- 1Help the French defeat the British by destroying British units on your side of the river.
- 2Build units and towers to protect your allies' base from early attacks.
- 3For attacking, use a mass brawl strategy with howitzers dealing damage.
- 4Eliminate all red units with your starting army, prioritizing falconets.
- 5After clearing initial units, you receive coureurs (peasants), a base, and new objectives: FIND AND DESTROY THE BRITISH FORT COMMAND BUILDING and FIND AND CONTROL THE ONLY TRADE ROUTE (300 XP).
- 6Build and develop your base.
- 7Assist your allies by defending against British units crossing the southern river.
- 8Advance to the Industrial Age as soon as possible, as there is limited mining and you need a plantation.
- 9Build many units, as British attacks across the southern river are frequent and numerous.
- 10Erect towers at the southern crossing for defense.
- 11Use the Fort card to build a fort, along with towers and falconets, for permanent defense.
- 12Ship in a falconet if possible to defend against early attacks and use towers until your army is ready.
- 13Bring in military units from your Home City.
- 14Once your plantation is up and town improvements are bought, things will become easier.
- 15Monitor your allies' town (yellow town) and quickly shift your army if a large British force attacks their base via the north crossing.
- 16Use howitzers, grenadiers, and halberdiers to attack the British base.
- 17After defeating another British attack, use mortars or howitzers to destroy the two towers at the far end of the southern crossing.
- 18Your allies may also send units across the southern crossing while you attack the towers.
- 19Beyond the towers are the town buildings (mills, houses, town center), a tower to the west, and more dangerous towers north behind walls.
- 20Use mortars to take out these towers while your main army engages elsewhere.
Tips
- Hoard lumber.
- Falconets are a priority target early on.
- Towers at the southern crossing can help defend against frequent British attacks.
- A fort, a few towers, and a trio of falconets provide strong defense.
- Let your allies help defend.
- Howitzers are highly effective in large battles.
- Your allies might send units across the southern crossing while you attack the towers.
