It's a collection of mini-games, with some strategy, some RPG, and some reaction testing.

It's set from the discovery of America till the US Civil war. Thus, railroads in later ages. Gunpowder units do NOT completely dominate the battlefield, as melee cavalry still exists late in the game and is important. Formations also have more importance, something similar to how it is in RoN. While AoE3 is still largely based on reflexes, it's somewhat easier to win through superior strategy and tactics. But yes, you still do need speed. The campaign for this game is sort of a traditional AoE campaign. Historical events, many battles, should be fun.
AoE3 uses the Havok engine for a ton of stuff... units dying, buildings collapsing, that's all physics controlled. Cannonballs roll on the field, too. Water is fully DirectX9, pixel shaders are there... naval battles look as good as bikini girls on beach on a summer day.
Oh, it focuses on multiplayer, of course, with a new version of ESO for matchmaking. Thankfully, the focus there is just like with Age of Mythology, on being able to get a game quick. Which is unlike AoE2, where the MSN Zone might not have been bad, but you might easily spend 20 minutes to get a game.
Any specific questions, just ask  .

any updates on my next anticipated game Ages Of Empire III? |
Age of Empires III (PC)
Age of Empires III offers gamers the next level of realism, with advanced battle physics and unparalleled visual detail. The new game picks up where Age of Empires II: Age of Kings left off, placing gamers in the position of a European power determined to explore, colonize and conquer the New World. This time period features stunning scenes, from towering European cathedrals to courageous tribes of Native Americans, and spectacular combat with Industrial Age units like rifled infantry, cavalry and tall ships bristling with cannons. In addition to technology upgrades, Age of Empires III also features a slew of new game-play elements, including the concept of a "Home City," new civilizations, units, technologies and an immersive new single-player campaign that spans three generations.

that kind of sucks. I was never into the early America stuff. I miss the old days, and I'd have to agree with Wernazuma III, that, at least in the screenshot provided, there do seem to be too many shadows.
