Information on the upcoming RTS in the series of Age of Empires:
Here is info on the Ages:
Discovery Age
The Discovery Age is a generalized term to refer to the era during the 16th century in which European civilizations had attempted to circumvent the Ottoman Empire in favor of another economic route to India and Asia. In doing so, the European civilizations which took part, foremost consisting of Spain, Portugal, England and France, 'discovered' other inhabited continents relatively unknown to European influence.
While information is scarce about this era within Age of Empires III, it has been suggested by PCGamer that this age will require a player to 'discover' and colonize a new land; following in the footsteps of previous games by Ensemble Studios which have each player beginning with a small settlement.
Colonial Age
The Colonial Age is used to describe the period directly after the Discovery Age, in which the European civilizations that took part in the discovery process, including civilizations which hadn't, began to populate and build settlements in the newly 'discovered' continents. Colonialism consisted of economic and political domination over a regions resources, labor and regional markets by an already established state.
While information remains scarce for this era within Age of Empires III, it can be assumed that it may involve the establishment of land and a general build-up of the economy and military of each player.
Industrial Age
The Industrial Age may refer to the Industrial Revolution which took place during the 18th and 19th centuries. The Industrial Revolution was a massive economic, social and technological change facilitated by the introduction of steam power and the use of automated machinery in manufacturing. Although the Industrial Revolution started in Europe, the effects eventually spread worldwide with the advancement of transportational, economical and communicational technology.
While information is scarce in regards to this era within Age of Empires III, it's assumed that this age will include a substantial amount of technological, and economical improvements for each civilization. It has been suggested that railroads, and perhaps other means of transportation, such as the wagon, may also be available in the game.
Imperial Age
The Imperial Age is most likely refering to the acquisition of an empire, historically in regards to the British Empire of the 19th century. The Imperial Age focused on a policy of expanding a nation state across the world in the desire to gain economic and political superiority through the use of mercantilism, war and diplomacy.
While information is scarce about this era within Age of Empires III, it is assumed that this period will be the last age covered by the game. It has been suggested by a number of previewers that it will include the Westward Expansion, the movement westwards across North America by settlers and businessmen.
