House

A House is a civilian building that is used for housing units in the games Age of Empires, Age of Empires II, Age of Empires III. The House is avaliable to most every civilization in the Age of Empires series.

Game Info
A House is a basic building that can support a population of 4 (in AoE), 10 (in AoE III), settlers or military units. Houses should be constructed when necessary when you need to expand your civilization to the maximum that is allowed by your population limit. The Houses are cheap, but still are considered a very important building for the survival of your civilization.

In Age of Empires III there are 4 different types of houses which are House(West), House(Medium), and House(East) and the special Manor House (unique to the British) which spawns a new villager every time it is built.

AoE & AoE II
In these games, the House only served as a unit capacity increaser. It could be built by Villagers and in AoE its hitpoints can be increased and build time decreased when researching Architecture from Government Center while in AoEII its Line of Sight can be upgraded from Town Watch and Town Patrol at Town Center and gets more hitpoints from Masonry and Architecture at University

Age of Mythology
The House is virtually similiar for Greeks, Egyptians and Norse. Only diffrence is that they support 10 population and only 10 can be built at a time. The only way to have more population is to build more Town Centers.

Atlanteans don't have Houses but Manors which supports 20 but can only be built 5 at a time.

Age of Empires III
The House returns for use in AOEIII but this time takes its functions from AoM counterpart and supports 10 populations but this time there can be 20 built at a time.
