Exploration Fleet

The Exploration Fleet is a shipment available at the Consulate in the Imperial Age in Age of Empires III: The Asian Dynasties.

It is available for the Japanese and Indians if they ally with the Portuguese, but can only be sent once. The Exploration Fleet costs 700 export and ships a single Ironclad.

The Ironclad can then be used to explore, to shell distant positions, fight against enemy ships, but most important, to help the player defeat Treasure Guardians at water, such as Sharks and Orcas, in order to collect Treasures.
