Command the Baltic States and Master Strategic Warfare
Lead the "Baltic States" to conquest in Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition! This exciting expansion adds new strategic depth to land and sea warfare. Dominate the world by controlling two new civilizations—Denmark and Poland. Test your strategic abilities in new high-risk Challenge Scenarios and various new game modes. Conquer over 25 new themed maps from the Baltic Sea to the Arctic regions of North America, and add more flair with the Hero Cosmetics Pack Vol. 2.
Two New Civilizations to Dominate Land and Sea
Denmark (Denmark-Norway): Establish economic and military advantages from the start with excellent economic planning and naval control. Intercept other players' goods through Customs Houses to save resources as you advance through the Ages. Use Musketeers and Gunboats to defend your territory, or have villagers hide in Round Churches to resist raiding mercenaries.
Poland (Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth): Build a massive agricultural empire to meet the huge demand for war horses! Reduce building costs to specialize in manor economy development, and as your population grows, so does the power of the Sejm. Throughout history, you can lead Cossack uprisings early on or revive the once-declining Teutonic Order. Command your cavalry Cossack Hetman, leading the majestic Winged Hussars in devastating charges.
2 New Challenge Scenarios to Enhance Tactical Skills
Face new high-risk historical trials designed to test your precision and strategic thinking. In Commonwealth Charge, protect the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth from continuous invaders by timing your Winged Hussar attacks perfectly; simultaneously occupy surrounding villages to gain more resources and expand your population for survival. Lead the Spanish defenders in the Defense of Havana to fiercely resist the British offensive. Race against time to deal 1,000 points of damage to enemy forces while protecting your Town Center. Control key beaches to prevent enemy artillery from being deployed. Master these new tasks to demonstrate your tactical prowess and achieve the highest scores.
2 New Game Modes That Change the Rules
Regicide Mode: Eliminate the enemy Regent for an instant victory! In Regicide mode, the Regent cannot hide in buildings and must face enemies directly or try to escape capture.
Independence Mode: In Independence Mode, forsake the protection of your Home City and prove that you can win the game with strategy and true strength alone. Experience your favorite civilizations from a new perspective with adjusted civilization bonuses.
Over 25 New Maps and More Content
New Themed Maps : 20 new themed maps will bring you a richer battlefield experience. The Arctic map pack covers the vast ice fields from Svalbard to Nunavut. You can cross the ice on an Inuit Dog.exe sled or brave the waves in a perilous whaling ship. You can also head further south to Nova Scotia or the Shetland Islands to recruit Scottish clan warriors loyal to the House of Stuart.
New Historical Maps: Livonian War, Dano-Swedish Wars, Three Kingdoms War
