Stable (Age of Empires III)

"Trains and upgrades hand and ranged cavalry."

—In-game description

The Stable is a military building in Age of Empires III that becomes available once the Colonial Age is reached. It trains and upgrades cavalry.

The Aztecs have no cavalry units, thus they have no need for a Stable. Iroquois and Sioux have the Corral which is identical in function, while the Chinese have the War Academy which trains banner armies, and the Indians have the Caravanserai which trains camel and elephant units.

History Edit

"A stable is a building in which animals (typically horses) are housed. Horses were vital to survival in the New World and every inn, home, and town had to have stables to shelter these important animals. Horses were used for travel, plowing fields, and for warfare up until the mid-twentieth century.

The Quartering Acts, passed by British Parliament in 1765, allowed British soldiers to occupy living space in just about any building they deemed suitable for housing."
