History

“

Before European contact, the Comanche were part of the Shoshone tribe living along the Platte River in eastern Wyoming. They acquired the horse in the late seventeenth century and thereafter began migrating to the southwest as a separate tribe. They eventually established effective control over a wide area stretching from western Oklahoma, across the Texas Panhandle, and into New Mexico. This area was known as the Comancheria.

They became the expert horsemen of the southern plains and were very skilled with the lance, bow, and arrow. Their population grew because hunting buffalo from horseback provided a dependable food supply. They built up huge herds of horses through breeding and capture, and particularly prized the pintos and painted horses. They built a reputation as fierce and pitiless warriors, fighting both as raiders and as defenders of their stock.

For much of the eighteenth century the Comanche waged war against neighboring tribes, especially the Apaches, and the Spanish based in Santa Fe, Texas, and Mexico. When Americans moved into Texas, the Comanches got into conflict with them. A series of treaties were signed with the Republic of Texas, the United States, and the Confederate States, but the whites could not stop settler encroachment, which always led to more fighting. Gradually the Comanche were devastated by disease and worn down by military action. They were placed on a reservation, but eventually most of that was taken away and opened to white settlers.

-*Comanche trade language is best used with home city cards that reduce the coin costs of upgrades or units.
-*Comanche horse breeding will also effect light infantry, specifically [[Eagle Runner Knight]]s, [[Coyote Runner]]s, [[Disciple]]s, [[Shaolin Temple|Rattan Shields]], and [[Tiger Claw]]s. Some civilizations are able to send the rattan shields and tiger claw mercenaries as shipments while disciples are unique to the [[Chinese (Age of Empires III)|Chinese]] and the remaining units are unique to the [[Aztecs (Age of Empires III)|Aztecs]].
-*Comanche mustangs can be extremely useful to civilizations that have unique cavalry units, such as the [[Spanish (Age of Empires III)|Spanish]] [[Lancer]], [[French]] [[Cuirassier]], and [[Russians|Russian]] [[Oprichnik]].
-*All native tribes can only be upgraded to Legendary/Exalted status at the [[Town Center#Age of Empires III|Town Center]] or [[Capitol]], they can be upgraded to Elite/Disciplined or Champion/Honored for free through some [[Home City]] shipments.
-*Civilizations can remove the upgrade gold costs, or cut the upgrade costs in half depending on their home city cards.
