Hello again Forumers!


Ladies and gentlemen, (I guess that accounts for most of you) I bring to you the Hexuquel (?) of the Age of The Empire series. So, without further ado, I bring you the long awaited* Age of The Empire VI!

Sorry, I guess there is further ado. In previous games there is only one main empire, but, in this time period, there are two empires; the Americans and the Soviet Union, so, I have put the civs into two faction groups, the Capitalists and the Communists, with varying differences between them (such as names of buildings), so therefore, I have added a new resource, the Comradeship/Taxes (Depends on the faction group) which is like export.

* not really, but still,

V) Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles

The nuke from my last game; Age of the Empire V, has the similar attack, and the same launch abilities, for more info, see my last game by searching it on the aoe3 forums under my name, READ IT BEFORE YOU READ THIS, IT MAKES MORE SENSE.

These are the changes:

•Nukes can be launched by all Civilizations, yeah you heard me, ALL CIVS!
•No limit of launched nukes
•The nuke’s crater makes fallout, which damages all units who don’t have either the FR upgrade, (fallout resistant) or has the FR upgrade built in.
•The whole “nuke stealing” concept is, as they say in England, “in the bin” Lucky old bin, I say!
•ICBMs can be fired from missile silos and nuclear submarines.
•After 1 nuke, the map stays the same, (apart from the big freakin crater) after 3 nukes, wildlife starts to leave, and civilians and infantry are seen wearing filter masks, after 4 nukes, farms cannot be harvested, trees are dying, the land seems scorched, your flags are tattered, farms are unharvestable, your buildings and navy have more lead lining, and civilians and infantry are seen wearing gas masks, after 5 nukes, the land is like mordor from the lord of the rings movies, and the sky looks like the sky from the machine world in the matrix movies, your buildings and navy are completely covered with lead lining, and your civilians and infantry are wearing anti-radiation suits. At this point, units without FR die instantly. Scary, isn’t it?

VII) Campaign

The Campaign is split into four acts, the first is the Vietnam war, and the start of World War III, the second act is the battles between East Germany and NATO, the third act is the battles in the north between Canada and the USSR, and the third act is the naval battles between the USA and Cuba, and the end of the war.


Next time, the war has ended, and possibly the world, but, some survivors have survived Armageddon, and the fight for survival begins in Age of the Empire VII, The End of Empires.
