Full publisher description

Empires: Age of Discovery allows you revisit the age of exploration and discovery in the 16th century. You will take on the role of a European power establishing new colonies and trade in the New World. Over three ages, you will launch expeditions of discovery, expand your merchant fleet and military force, train your workers, construct buildings that give your nation interesting and distinct advantages, develop your economy, and (if necessary) declare war - always with the goal of expanding your empire farther than your opponents. Note: Empires: Age of Discovery is a reimplementation of Age of Empires III but without that name due to the expense of renewing the license from Microsoft.
