AI: Artificial Intelligence. When playing a singleplayer game, the AI files control how your enemies behave.


In Age of Empires 3 every civilization has it's own, unique Ai, based on a historical leader of that nation, ie. the British have Queen Elisabeth, the Spanish have Queen Isabella and the French have Napoleon. Every Ai behaves differently:

  • The Spanish are a so-called rusher, who disdain trading posts.
  • The British are an infantry-oriented boomer, who favor alliances with natives.
  • The French are cavalry-oriented, balanced, also favoring alliances with natives.
  • The Russians are an infantry-oriented turtler.
  • The Germans are a cavalry-oriented rusher.
  • The Dutch are a turtler, with a huge emphasis on trading posts.
  • The Portuguese are an artillery-oriented boomer, also favoring trading posts.
  • The Ottomans are an artillery-oriented boomer, balanced AI.
