Expeditionary Fleet

The Expeditionary 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 Portuguese Brigade costs 2400 export and consists of a single Caravel and three Petards.

The Caravel can play various roles, such as scouting, fishing, harassing Fishing Boats but most important of all, it can be used to sneak the Petards to a spot behind the enemy lines (just beware of shore defenses), and after the Petards disembark, they can be ordered to attack buildings of the player's choice.
