In 2006 Ensemble Studios and Microsoft Studio made an expansion game of the Age of Empires 3 named Age of Empires 3
(TWC)
The game is the same but they added revolution, trade monopoly, three new home cities, new campaigns, new armies, new mercenaries and stealth.
Each country can only choose one of the two revolutionary leaders given.
Once we chose a leader, we can’t use the other one and can’t upgrade to Imperial age.
Here’s the table of the revolutionary leaders that we can choose for the game:
Nation | Revolutionary | Advantages | Available to |
![]() |
San Martín | Grants 6 Imperial Howitzers (mortar is upgraded). | Germans |
![]() |
Bonifácio | 20 Fierce Legendary Tupi warriors come to your aid. All natives are set to Legendary level. | Portuguese and Dutch |
![]() |
O’Higgins | Grants 10 Imperial Hussars (Hussars are upgraded). | Ottomans and Spanish |
![]() |
Santander | Grants 3 ironclads | Ottomans, French, and Russians |
![]() |
L’Ouverture | Colonial militia have more hitpoints. | French and British |
![]() |
Hidalgo | A group of outlaws rally to your cause. | Spanish and Portuguese |
![]() |
Bolívar | All units gain 5% more hitpoints. | Russians and Germans |
![]() |
Washington | Gatling guns have more hitpoints. | British and Dutch |
Trade monopoly lets us win once we build enough trading post.
We will win the game in a few minutes after we click the trading post button.
The three new home cities are ‘The Aztecs’, ‘The Iroquois’ and ‘The Sioux’.



They also added two new campaigns, ‘Which is Act I: Fire’ and ‘Act II: Shadow’.
Fire is about Nathaniel Black, the half native son of John Black and Amelia Black’s father.

Shadow is about Chayton Black who was Amelia’s only son with a Sioux.

The new armies are ‘Horse Gun’ and ‘Petard’ which are available to all country except the Aztecs, the Iroquois and the Sioux.
Some units (Native Scout, Navajo and Ninja) can stealth but other units can’t.
There are new mercenaries which are Ninja, Elmeti, Camonchero, Pistolero, Renegado and more.
My favorite mercenary is Ninja
