I downloaded the demo earlier today, havent had a chance to play it yet. Still waiting for my Family Guy seasons to finish downloading...
Dude, link us the website too. 
Lazy bums; Age of Empires III official website.
Maphusio, it's a RTS, with both single and multiplayer modes, though the demo only has single-player.

Dude, if he's gonna tell us to dl a demo, its hardly innappropriate to provide some background info!
I don't argue that, but it does take under 30 seconds to find the website on your own. Then you can post it, which beats waiting around for CCR.
Yay, another generic RTS!

The demo runs just fine on my rig (2 ghz processor, 512 mb ram, 128 mb ATI Radeon 9600, etc).
As for gameplay, I haven't had enough time to tinker around with it but there seems to be a fairly large amount of changes to the game, some of which are cool (the ability to hire indian allies and control trade routes) and some which are retarted (like the 'home city' concept and the fact that you have cards that you can play throughout the game to gain special power-ups).
I do like the graphics, though, and the setting is cool. Ultimately, though, this is just another AOE game. Which means I'll be waiting on Civ IV later this fall.

I'm not interested. It's pretty, yes, but it's basically Age of Empires II in 3D. There are a few minor additions, but nothing that redefines the game in any way, shape, or form. The developers have opted for the "more of the same" formula.
Why do the English speak German? And why do they have Musketeers and Longbowmen in the 1850s?
Are you sure they aren't French?The Overseer said:

It's middle English, you idiot.
Richtig=German for 'Right'
Richtee=Middle English for 'Right'

Well, somehow I suspect the game is not historically accurate. I don't seem to remember accounts of Railroad companies conducting full-scale wars against each other, down to destroying entire towns.
Johnny, middle English in 19th century South-Western America doesn't make much sense either.
