Factory Wagon

The Factory Wagon was first introduced in the origional version of Age of Empires III. The only way to aquire the Factory Wagon is through sending the Factory wagon card in the Industrial Age. Some of the European nations such as the Spanish can only send one Factory Wagon card while others like the British can send two. Once the wagon shows up outside the players Town Center (or where the player's Home City shipment point is) the player will be able to determine where it is that he wants the factory to be built. Once the sopt is determined, the Factory Wagon will automatically make its way over to the designated spot and automatically build. Once the Factory has started building, the player can not stop it, the building is final. If the player destroys the Factory, you will not get a new Factory Wagon. For this reason it is also important that players put their Factories in the back of their base and protected by walls and guard towers.

The Factory, once built, will automatically produce the players choice of Gold, Wood, Food, or heavy artillery. They do not require Villagers to work and thus make it an incredibly helpful card. Gold, Wood, Food, and heavy artillary all get one upgrade to improve the gather rates or production rates of the Factory. The heavy artillery gets a second upgrade in the Imperial Age.

Factories are helpful in many ways. First, Factories can increase the production rates for the players resources to gather more faster to be able to build units. Another use is to gather wood. The fact that Factories can automatically produce wood makes it one of the most valuable cards a player can have. By using this, the player can focus their Villagers on Food and Gold to produce units and have the Factories gather Wood so that the player can upgrade their units without having to bother with villagers at all.

Placement
The factory can be put where ever the player wishes it to be build. If the player does not care for how their settlement looks, factories (along with farms and plantations) can be build in the back of the map and surrounded with a few layers of walls.

In the The Asian Dynasties, the Factory wagon has not changed. European civilizations that could only send one factory shipment in the original can now send two Facotry shipments.

In addition to this, the Chinese have the ability to become allies with the Russians. A player can spend 400 Export to have a Factory Wagon sent from the Consulate to their city. This Factory works just its European equivalent.
