This article is about the minor native in Age of Empires III. For the civilization Age of Empires III: The WarChiefs, see Lakota.

The Lakota are a minor Native American civilization featured in Age of Empires III. They are replaced by the Cheyenne in The WarChiefs; however, they can still be used in custom scenarios and are found in the Unknown map.

They are not to be confused with the playable Sioux civilization, which are renamed to Lakota in the Definitive Edition.

Strategy[]

The Lakota help in cavalry rushing and hunting. Lakota Hunting Grounds grants 12 Bison that can be hunted, which the Japanese can use to fill three Shrines. Their Lakota Horse Trading technology increases the training speed of cavalry units substantially. Their main unit, the Lakota Axe Rider, is a cavalry unit with low base damage, but it makes up for it with its large amount of hit points. In the midgame, the technology Lakota Dog Soldiers grants up to 10 Lakota Dog Soldiers that have a large amount of hit points and damage, and are powerful cavalry units to assault enemy bases with.

In-game dialogue[]

Lakota units speak one of the Siouan languages.

Note: These are not used by the playable Lakota civilization in Age of Empires III: The WarChiefs

History[]

โ€œ The first European reference to the Lakota people places them in modern Minnesota in the seventeenth century. They soon moved farther west away from their enemies the Ojibwa, who may have obtained firearms by trading with Europeans. By the middle eighteenth century they had taken over the northern Great Plains by driving out other tribes. The Lakota became proficient buffalo hunters and prospered, with their population estimated at 30,000 by 1750. They quickly adapted to the use of the horse, and became expert horsemen for both hunting and warfare.

They fought on the British side during the American Revolution and in the War of 1812, but made a series of friendship treaties with the United States beginning in 1815. A treaty in 1825 confirmed their ownership of a large tract of land stretching from modern Wisconsin to Wyoming, though they later sold the eastern part of it. The tide of white settler encroachment could not be held back, and a recurring pattern of settler invasion, Lakota reprisals, and US military reprisals began in the 1850s.
