—In-game description

The Native Embassy is a military building in Age of Empires III: The WarChiefs that becomes available once a Trading Post is built on a minor civilization settlement and the Commerce Age is reached. It trains native warriors from the minor civilization(s) the player is allied with.

Unlike other buildings, the Native Embassy can only be built by the Explorers/War Chiefs/Monks and Chasquis.*

Tactics

The Native Embassy allows native warriors to be trained closer to the frontline, and at a location that a player desires, rather than the random locations of map-specific settlements.

Note that if the Trading Post on an allied settlement is destroyed, access to that settlement's native warrior will be lost.

History

“

Establishing an embassy is more than simply erecting a building. An embassy represents one civilization or country formally respecting and acknowledging the legitimacy of another. Embassies serve as powerful symbols in the overall context of how societies conduct business, trade, and sometimes war.
