Unearth the rich tapestry of Africa's history in the newest expansion for Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition - The African Royals DLC. Here, you'll be handed the reins of power as you lead two magnificent civilizations, the Ethiopians and the Hausa, on their journey through the annals of time.

Key Features

Embark on a Unique Journey:

Your ascent through the ages hinges on your alliances in a dynamic twist unique to African civilizations. With every age progression, foster new partnerships and use your amassed Influence to enlist your allies' formidable units or assimilate their groundbreaking technologies. The strategies at your disposal have never been so diverse.

Infrastructure at Its Finest:

Fortify your empire with architectural marvels. Erect a Palace, a beacon of power and grandeur, from which you can mobilize Mercenaries, form Alliances, and even deploy the unparalleled Gatling Camel. Your resource management takes center stage as you establish a Granary, enhance food collection, or set up a Livestock Market, trading Sanga and Zebu Cattle. And for those moments when only a grand gesture will do, indulge in a Royal Banquet, amassing unparalleled Influence to galvanize your allies.

Majestic New Civilizations:

Ethiopia: Sit atop the "Roof of Africa," where Mountain Monasteries and majestic Palaces define the skyline. Command Shotel Warriors as they fracture enemy formations, while your Oromo units deflect cavalry onslaughts and Neftenya snipers keep infantry at bay.

Hausa: Carve out a thriving kingdom under the watchful eyes of your Griots, fuelled by lucrative Livestock trade and influential Universities. When threats loom, your Maigadi guards and Fulani Archers, alongside the swift Raiders and formidable Lifidi Knights, ensure that your reign remains unchallenged.

Engage in Historical Showdowns:

Battle through three gripping new Historical Battles. Confront Sebastian of Portugal in The Battle of the Three Kings, stand with scholar and military leader Usman dan Fodio during the Fall of the Hausa, and rally behind Kassa Hailu in The Era of the Princes.
