“ | Ships a large number of Legion Dragoons and Horse Artillery. | ” |
—In-game description |
The Portuguese Brigade is a Consulate shipment in Age of Empires III: The Asian Dynasties that can be sent by Indians and Japanese if they choose the Portuguese as their ally once the Imperial Age is reached. It ships 11 Legion Dragoons and 4 Horse Artillery.
Strategy[]
The combination of artillery and light cavalry makes the Portuguese Brigade an all around powerful force, as the Horse Artillery can easily wipe out infantry, and the Dragoons can protect the Horse Artillery from heavy cavalry. Portuguese Brigade is best when combined with Heavy Cavalry to protect it from a Culverin/Skirmisher combination, but is overall very effective.
Changelog[]
The Asian Dynasties[]
- The Portuguese Brigade costs 2,400 export.
Definitive Edition[]
- The Portuguese Brigade costs 2,300 export, and Jinetes are renamed to Legion Dragoons.
Trivia[]
- The Consulate version of Horse Artillery is shared between European allies, so the Horse Artillery speaks French instead of Portuguese.
