Export

Export is a resource in Age of Empires III: The Asian Dynasties. It is used to purchase shipments from the Consulate building, some buildings and upgrades will increase the amount of export you earn. Similarly you can change the rate of export you earn at your consulate. You will receive penalties to other resource gahtering depending on export amount selected.

Export is a powerful weapon when using one of the Asian civs as the consulate shipments arrive much faster than a Home City Card, it is rather easily obtained (it gathers automatically).
