** The [[Spanish (Age of Empires III)|Spanish]] can have free [[Barracks (Age of Empires III)|Barracks]] and the [[Chinese (Age of Empires III)|Chinese]] can have very cheap [[War Academy (Age of Empires III)|War Academies]] when this upgrade is combined with [[Spanish Home City Cards#Cathedral|TEAM Cheap Barracks]] (-50% Barracks cost, -25% War Academy cost) and/or [[Chinese Home City Cards#Imperial Court|TEAM Art of War]] (-30% Barracks cost, -30% War Academy cost).

** The Spanish can exploit their free barracks to build walls using the structure. If the [[Russians]] are the third ally in a 3 vs 3 game and send [[Russian Home City Cards#Cathedral|TEAM Barracks Hitpoints]] the barracks will possess 5,000 hit points each, significantly more than a basic wall. In conjunction with ''Improved Buildings'' they will posses even more hitpoints.

History

“When the Portuguese, French, and Dutch penetrated the interior of Brazil they encountered a number of warlike and aggressive tribes called the Tupi. The coastal Tupi lived mainly by agriculture, growing manioc, yams, tobacco, beans, squash, peppers, and other crops in forest clearings. When the soils were depleted, they would move to a new location, clear the trees, and replant.

In the sixteenth century they became embroiled in the wars between Europeans fighting in Brazil, mainly the French and Portuguese, who both employed native allies. Many of the Tupi were forced to work on the plantations, but they fared poorly and died. They suffered from epidemics that swept through their villages, and were forcibly taken from their villages to be sold as slaves, often by enemy tribes. European encroachment spread as the trees were cleared, and sugar plantations were established. Devastated by the recurring wars, disease, and slavery, the remaining Tupi withdrew up the Amazon into interior lands the Europeans did not want.		”
