—In-game description

The Corral is a military building in Age of Empires III: The WarChiefs that is unique to the Haudenosaunee and Lakota, and becomes available once the Commerce Age is reached. It fulfills a similar role to the Stable.

Game information

The Corral is the home for cavalry units and the improvements that increase the amount of damage they can sustain and inflict. Groups of up to five units can be trained at once from the Corral. Players can train as many units as they can afford, but each additional group stacks up behind the first.

Corrals are relatively inexpensive, so the player may want to build an additional Corral to produce units faster or improve warriors more quickly.

History

“

A corral is a building in which horses are housed. Horses provided the American Indians with speed and mobility, particularly during battle and when hunting large game such as buffalo. After an extended period of absence from the Western Hemisphere, the horse was reintroduced to the New World in the 1500s by the Spanish. As horses spread across the continent, the Plains Indians in particular became known for their skills as riders and horse breeders.
