—In-game description

Merchant Marine is a Consulate technology in Age of Empires III: The Asian Dynasties that can be researched by the Japanese if they choose the Spanish as their ally once the Commerce Age is reached. Once researched, it makes Home City shipments arrive twice as fast.

Strategy[]

Merchant Marine synergizes well with the Good Faith Agreements Home City Card which allows Consulate technologies to be researched twice as fast with a 40% discount.
