i love this game, it gives such a nice sense of organisation and peace for my brain. i dont play online because people seem really freakishly good so i play story and skirmesh
I remember playing this when I was nine. I was a brutal warlord, killing setlers and workers with impunity from atop my horse-gunners. The nostalgia from this video gives e chills.
I don't usually enjoy watching other peoples gameplay, but you do a very good job on commenting and you play in a way that I can follow. I have a hard time doing eco and attacking at the same time, and I lose my head when I get attacked early on. I might start playing regulary thanks to your vids. Haven't since 2006.
+SamuraiRevolution 19:16 i noticed that instead of dragging a box all the way over your musketeers you click on one of them and it selects all of them, how? what button did you press
me and my friend dug up age of empries 3 again, and for the first time ever since first playing it during my childhood, I'm actually making an effort to understand this game. Thanks for helping me out, subscribed, well deserved!
I loved this game! But my PC ran it fine until ships came into it and that mission in the campaign (called 'Spanish Gold' I think?) really fucked it up because ships made it lag soooo bad and I couldn't do the mission so couldn't complete it.... since then my PC deteriorated and eventually I got a new laptop... but the game doesn't work on here for some reason (I have the disc version) so now I have seen the Steam Autumn Sale and the ultimate edition is down from like £30 to £7.49 I am gonna get it so I can play it again! Loved the skirmishes! Can't wait :D good video, very good tactic :P I never used longbows but I may do so now ;) same with rockets XD P.S. I always play as British but then again I am British and play as the British/English on EVERYTHING soo yeah... but still! :D yay
I actually ALWAYS build light infanterie against british. they kill pikes and musketeers. They also are 1:1 gainst the longbows. a bit of cav too and the british rush is destroyed.
His strategy might not be the best (is any strategy 'the best'?), but he makes pretty good videos. I enjoy watching them, and actually learn a lot too (I'm a newbie maybe that's why).
Incredibly good video man, I didn't realise how effective the longbow infantry were as the British. I'm definitely going to try them out next time I play. A couple questions: 1. How are you able to build multiple houses/walls without having to reselect from the build menu and 2. How do you queue 5 military units in one click?
I find after discovery age make allot of villagers just spam houses (and get cheap house upgrade and fast building of them helps too) and then the house is now cheaper then a villager, is using a recourse not needed to age up, plus u never have to worry about not enough population, and the domino effect is really good once it gets going. once you need more gold or food from plantations and mills it is easy to get too and u never have to worry about it. if u spam villagers plus spam houses you will have a fast recourse boom right there
Nice video as always, thanks for the game and strategy and also glad you changed your mic recently. This was a sweet game and although i've never tried British before, i'll try them whenever i can. I love playing Sioux and would appreciate a guide about them, or Iroquois. I see Aztec and Iroquos as strong civilizations but i don't play Iroquois because i think the siege unit Mantlet is the most stupid-ass unit in the game. I seriously don't play that race due to that reason but i might play them if you gave some insight about the nation. About Aztecs.. well i just tried them once but didn't get the grasp of it. But got my ass whopped up by Expert AI Aztec quite few times, enough experience to understand they have good units.
Hey brother I know this is an old video but still, regarding your saying that the British are very flexible, would you say the same is true for the Chinese? I've found that they are basically the Jack of all Trades, what are your thoughts on that? Love your stuff by the way!
When playing as the British Empire, after hearing about all their atrocities throughout history trumping all the others (even Imperial Japan, Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia), it gives you a sense of how good it feels to be bad... :)
Hi Samurai..great videos man. Love the game play and commentary. One thing, I am new to AOE3. Yes, I know its old, but I am old and slow :) Trying the deck you have posted up above, Most of those cards are not available to make a deck from. What to do?
SamuraiRevolution, I am a begginer and usually play with the British. I have been playing with a strategy really similar to this one but I always end up running out of food during big battles. I have a lot of villies on food and upgrades in the mills aswell but I still run out of food while I have a ton of the other resources. Do you know what my problem might be?
Love the British the imperail longbow are good support unites can almost use the same strategy is use in age of empires 2 afican kingdoms useing the britons.
hello nice video, i love this game, i play only with the british and i want to learn more, would you please share the full deck? i can't beat the AI on expert I can easily beat it on hard but i been struggling with the expert one its funny because you can clearly see a big improvement on its skills and economy
I have a question for herding. when I command a villager behind the herd and simultaneously command to attack the herd, it does not work for me. let me explain, the villager walks towards the herd and instead of getting behind the herd before attacking, he/she starts shooting as soon as the villager gets in range. therefore ‘shooing' the herd in the opposite direction. can anybody help me?
So sad I can't log into my online account anymore. Lost the password and the secret question and and they don't seem to respond to help mails anymore :'(
Well, the appearing stuff above the minimap can be set somewhere in options and also, the 25 cards in the deck is an exclusive thing in The Asian Dynasties and The Warchiefs
Hey bro you got the basic card order right for the standard British strategy but I will say your micro management needs improvement if you want to play successfully with the British as they are prone to rush also work on those age times. GL British is my favorite civ and glad to see there are some players keeping Em alive. Add me on aoe3 Dan_Z-USN. I enjoy playing team games and non rated 1v1s with friends :)
Nice well i think british are kinda good but they cant compare to dutch man. I strongly bealive dutch is the most op nation cause of these banks. I mean u get your economy easily very good then just go for factories and u dont need any settler working for u , u just build horses from then its so damn good . just focus on economy and hussar upgrades and all u have to do is train a bunch of hussars and some artilery and gg can beat anythink. untill they die in battle you got twice the money for the same huge army u send and died.
nice video dude! i only use musketeers and grenadiers as infantry. and really i never regreted it and the fact you dont mix the different types of units i dont get the point
Super Waldek ikr, i'm pretty pro at this game since im playing it for like 8 years by now. I know what civ counters what civ and that stuff, but Britain is just annoying, its not that hard to deal with it
yea, i have this came for a long now and also came to a conclusion that brits are annoying (played the game like 20min against brits and i saw it more when i thought about that they are anoying) but there are countries even more annoying like aztecs when they have a lot of they're cub men (don't remember they're name) who atack multiple units at once or japan when in consul they have troops with same efect and they're cavalery and infantry being strong making them even more anoying.
This is a joke right? Missing the correct timing to age up . 17 vills instead of 16. pop blocked no houses after age 2 going for 1 archer ? You kinda messed up
The Virginia Company card is the one you're referring to, but in my opinion, that is a waste of a card. I would be sending 700w instead of that, and end up creating more houses earlier, hence end up with more vills earlier and gather more resources overtime. It is extremely difficult to pull off the virginia company build, and in almost 9 out of 10 cases, you're gonna be better off with 700w instead of VC card early on.
i love this game, it gives such a nice sense of organisation and peace for my brain.
i dont play online because people seem really freakishly good so i play story and skirmesh
try please to play online . you can find people wqho play just to relax like you, like me. i'd be fun x)
Viincen Vincent thanx buddy, i will try online why not.
Its sad there aint aoe4 :/
Spaceman28 yeah but they should not change it much, just upgrade it, little changes.
btw i play online now, level 22 geaaahhh
bittasweet symphony Play wit me :(
I remember playing this when I was nine. I was a brutal warlord, killing setlers and workers with impunity from atop my horse-gunners. The nostalgia from this video gives e chills.
I agree with you,British is way underrated. Love playing them
I don't usually enjoy watching other peoples gameplay, but you do a very good job on commenting and you play in a way that I can follow.
I have a hard time doing eco and attacking at the same time, and I lose my head when I get attacked early on.
I might start playing regulary thanks to your vids. Haven't since 2006.
ThePerverTube Thanks! Good to hear you might come back :)
+SamuraiRevolution 19:16 i noticed that instead of dragging a box all the way over your musketeers you click on one of them and it selects all of them, how? what button did you press
+Matt Ucon (CSGO) You just double click on a unit and it selects all nearby units of the same type
Skysword455 oh shit thanks man
+SamuraiRevolution I always go next to my allies and im always British
I just went and reinstalled this game! This game was pretty much my childhood!
Welcome back!
McCbobbish same
yeah, I just started playing definitive edition after 10 years :D
Quote - you can never have enough wood
No Virginia company? That to me seems like a major strength of the british
me and my friend dug up age of empries 3 again, and for the first time ever since first playing it during my childhood, I'm actually making an effort to understand this game. Thanks for helping me out, subscribed, well deserved!
Really good strategy guide. I was hard on you with another one because you didn't explain the why as much, but this one is top notch.
*I agree with almost all of your points on the BRITISH civilisation. And yeah, they are extremely underrated.*
I loved this game! But my PC ran it fine until ships came into it and that mission in the campaign (called 'Spanish Gold' I think?) really fucked it up because ships made it lag soooo bad and I couldn't do the mission so couldn't complete it.... since then my PC deteriorated and eventually I got a new laptop... but the game doesn't work on here for some reason (I have the disc version) so now I have seen the Steam Autumn Sale and the ultimate edition is down from like £30 to £7.49 I am gonna get it so I can play it again!

P.S. I always play as British but then again I am British and play as the British/English on EVERYTHING soo yeah... but still! :D yay
you have earned my sub, nobody ever does videos of games like this so thank you
I love playing as Britain, and I totally agree. I have such fond memories of my rockets slaughtering my friends during LAN games :)
I actually ALWAYS build light infanterie against british. they kill pikes and musketeers. They also are 1:1 gainst the longbows. a bit of cav too and the british rush is destroyed.
His strategy might not be the best (is any strategy 'the best'?), but he makes pretty good videos. I enjoy watching them, and actually learn a lot too (I'm a newbie maybe that's why).
Your musk can be anti cav if you put them in melee stance, they get high bonus dmg versus cav.

Both use the same thing, hold shift when you are doing the action! Thanks for watching!
I've cried over this game
I find after discovery age make allot of villagers just spam houses (and get cheap house upgrade and fast building of them helps too) and then the house is now cheaper then a villager, is using a recourse not needed to age up, plus u never have to worry about not enough population, and the domino effect is really good once it gets going. once you need more gold or food from plantations and mills it is easy to get too and u never have to worry about it. if u spam villagers plus spam houses you will have a fast recourse boom right there
Fast building houses trash card u need to waste 1 shipment for this card when u can send 700 gold instead for example
Yes . Its time for DE british
The first real aoe III fan I meet
Nice Dance Halls in your deck. What prompts you to send it?
ive been really getting into dutch fast revolt... send 2 factories and build your banks then revolt... get eco and better units
Nice video as always, thanks for the game and strategy and also glad you changed your mic recently. This was a sweet game and although i've never tried British before, i'll try them whenever i can.

7 years ago. Still works
19:12 rockets shoot every 3 seconds do a test on all the artillery and see how fast they all take to shoot
awesome vid SR

Love your stuff by the way!
Yes! Absolutely!
And thank you!
I play Brits and RUSH to IV
u are one of the best 4 me just go ahead
wow! thats a beast strat
I actually bought the Game yesterday and will do vides on it
looks like you didn't
Thanks for sharing.

Martha Bibby You need to gain XP to upgrade your home city level. Every level is a new card you can get

I have a lot of villies on food and upgrades in the mills aswell but I still run out of food while I have a ton of the other resources. Do you know what my problem might be?
I feel like such a newb when i watch this video😁
I've only ever played British lol
Wow this guy's awesome
Britain is easy to pick up and throw - but it's also quite good if you learn to throw it better.
is my analogy ok
"you need your wood"
Love the British the imperail longbow are good support unites can almost use the same strategy is use in age of empires 2 afican kingdoms useing the britons.
Liking the videos, man! Do you ever play as the Dutch?
This what I used to do when I played AOE3
The rockets are OP but I think I still prefer the great bombards a little more idk why, maybe it’s just because ottoman is my go to civ.
Heavy cannons better then rockets lol
what's the word on livestock pens? are they worth the extra micro?
Thank you!
8:02 what is that upgrade? are that that big walls of campaign? how do i get them?
well played
Nice vid, but the typing at the left is fucking distracting
true
maybe to you, but not to me. This is how a player actually plays, by interacting and communicating. It makes the game feels better to me.
what is the number of villagers
in gold in the transition from age 2 to age 3? does not appear in the video
How he is writing while he speaking lol when I am making this it's messing with my head
Eren Bulut he recorded before then did a voice over I think
hello nice video, i love this game, i play only with the british and i want to learn more, would you please share the full deck? i can't beat the AI on expert I can easily beat it on hard but i been struggling with the expert one its funny because you can clearly see a big improvement on its skills and economy
Not a bad guide, I'd 100% take cheaper houses over build speed, unless you have double brit on team.
Good point
All perfect, except 1 thing. You shouldn't mass Musketeers, i mean, have like 10-30, but not more.
+KMalinsky Agreed. Muskets are good, but nothing special.
Breath, that's the key
I have a question for herding. when I command a villager behind the herd and simultaneously command to attack the herd, it does not work for me. let me explain, the villager walks towards the herd and instead of getting behind the herd before attacking, he/she starts shooting as soon as the villager gets in range. therefore ‘shooing' the herd in the opposite direction. can anybody help me?
hold shift, command your villigers to move behind the bison, then click the bison and then let go of shift
(bank with 950 coins) Yup, we have run out of coin.
I love it
Great video but, what level do i have to get for the cards in the video ?
ツ HiMan I think by around lvl 40 you should have enough unlocked!
Thanks!
Hey samurai revolution do use deathmatch or supremacy
i litteraly go age 4 and have 40 musketers and 10 falcons
So sad I can't log into my online account anymore. Lost the password and the secret question and and they don't seem to respond to help mails anymore :'(
Cool
still watching in 2020 lol
Yea I know British rok that's who I play as all da time
can you do a video with the french civ ?
how do you make shipments and unit training apear above the minimap?
Edit: and how do you have 25 cards in a deck, aint 20 the max?
In TAD i guess 25 max
Well, the appearing stuff above the minimap can be set somewhere in options and also, the 25 cards in the deck is an exclusive thing in The Asian Dynasties and The Warchiefs
when I try to play as british it wont let me select them. it only has russia listed?
TK Jones you need to create a new home city.
how many settlers should be there? for making a lot of musketeers! and cannons!
tell me pls
Basically, be making settlers all the time until you cant anymore.
Oh OK well thanks for your reply!
No problem! Thanks for watching :)
if blue made a few cuverlins you were fucked
After watching this year's later, I see many mistakes.
ya he has the general idea though so noobies will appreciate it
What mistakes to look out for here?
I really wanna play with people on this if you wanna play comment back your name/details and I'll play
now youre 14

17 favorite number gang
How come you have more than 20 cards in your deck??
It's the asian dynasties expansion. If you have steam, right click on the game and launch the asian dynasties
do u bother with teh walls
what is the card in second row far right?
Saloon upgrade. It makes outlaw type units cost less pop and I believe it makes them cheaper to train.
Nice well i think british are kinda good but they cant compare to dutch man. I strongly bealive dutch is the most op nation cause of these banks. I mean u get your economy easily very good then just go for factories and u dont need any settler working for u , u just build horses from then its so damn good . just focus on economy and hussar upgrades and all u have to do is train a bunch of hussars and some artilery and gg can beat anythink. untill they die in battle you got twice the money for the same huge army u send and died.
Chris Papanick up to preference!! Both are great civs for sure
Banks? Rofl?
Dutch op only in wars of liberty mod with 6 banks limit and u can send church card and build 8 banks
In normal game dutch 4 bank limit 4 banks like 16 vills 50 vill limit britain have 20 houses 5 vill card 2 falconets card dutch no 2 falcs card
Britain have op longbowmans which counter skirms and ruyters
can you share this record game ?
nice video dude!
i only use musketeers and grenadiers as infantry. and really i never regreted it
and the fact you dont mix the different types of units i dont get the point
Repeat after me: CA- VAL- RY
How can you beat expert France with British in Texas
wall yourself, defend it with longbows, wood econ and 20 house/villager boom then profit
BRITISH SUUUUUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
British is strong as f. if you know strategy well :)
Why don't u use priests?
Для них надо строить церковь за дерево и они много стоят
Why does my HUD look different to yours?
Asian Dynasties
lol. strategy "defence" never works online. micro'ing your army to harass the enemy is a must. 101 in multiplayer rts games
unless choke points. but this game doesnt have such maps
This set up with just a few cavalry ur win rate will go up to 85 90 percent been playing around lol
I don't like the British in aoe3 because how good they always are when I play alongside them or against them...
try japan, they're infantry is op and cheap.
Super Waldek ikr, i'm pretty pro at this game since im playing it for like 8 years by now. I know what civ counters what civ and that stuff, but Britain is just annoying, its not that hard to deal with it

imposible to listen to u when your typong tobur friend
This is a joke right? Missing the correct timing to age up . 17 vills instead of 16. pop blocked no houses after age 2 going for 1 archer ? You kinda messed up
Lol I know the best advantage to British is the houses as u get op cards that make them cost 86 wood and they give u a vill
The Virginia Company card is the one you're referring to, but in my opinion, that is a waste of a card. I would be sending 700w instead of that, and end up creating more houses earlier, hence end up with more vills earlier and gather more resources overtime.

16 vills it's for def from rush
dude how do i meke building colaps animations
When your in the main menu, go to your settings and it will be somewhere in the visuals.
Thx m8!
how do i get factories?
You need to level up your home city and use those home city points to buy the factory cards
Dutch are the best unlimited gold
