—In-game description |
The House is an economic building in Age of Empires III that provides ten population. Unlike in previous games, Houses have a build limit of twenty.
Houses are available to European civilizations (except the British and Swedes), the Aztecs, and the Indians. The British, Chinese, Incas, Haudenosaunee, Japanese, and Swedes have their own counterparts to Houses (Manors, Villages, Kancha Houses, Longhouses, Shrines, and Torps, respectively). The Lakota do not build Houses, as they start with maximum population.
Indian Houses are 30% cheaper (costing 70 wood instead of 100).

Trivia[edit | edit source]
- There are four additional architectural variations of the House which correspond to the compass rose: House West (British, Dutch, and French), House Mediterranean (Ottomans, Portuguese, and Spanish), and House East (Germans, Russians, and Swedes).
- Indian Houses were originally supposed to be able to heal friendly units similar to British Manors with the Florence Nightingale Home City Card, although this was never implemented. However, Indian Houses with this capability can be found in the Scenario Editor.
History[edit | edit source]
Europeans[edit | edit source]
“ | Houses in the New World displayed varying styles, from the Cape-style houses of New England to the claim shanties in the West to the ranch houses in Texas and Mexico. Often the house style reflected the cultural heritage of the people who settled the land. Of course, Native Americans also had a wide variety of housing, including the tipis of the Plains tribes and the wattle-and- daub houses of the Cherokee. |

Often the house style reflected the cultural heritage of the people who settled the land. For life in their relatively dry climate, the Aztec built their homes as simple structures made from adobe (a mixture of water and dirt), with a thatched roof. |
