Cree Textile Craftsmanship is a technology in Age of Empires III that can be researched at a Trading Post or Tambo built on a Cree settlement. Once researched, it reduces the resources cost of all buildings and construction wagons by 10% and buildings' (except wonders) build time by 25%.
Overview[]
The Cree Textile Craftsmanship bonus is multiplicative. It scales with bonuses from other technologies and cards that reduce construction costs and time. It is extremely useful for any civilization, but particularly those which have cards reducing structures' wood cost even further.
- The "Advanced Trading Post" Home City Card available to European and Native American civilizations is particularly useful with this technology, lowering the cost of Trading Post to a mere 117 wood.
- The "Advanced Mill" card available to European civilizations can be stacked with the "Land Grab" card, and this technology (in the order listed) for 108 wood Mills.
- Asian civilizations also have the similar "Trade Empire" card which lowers the cost of Trading Posts to 144 wood if combined with this technology.
