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.

-The Tupi blackwood archer is a hybrid archer, combining aspects of the [[Crossbowman (Age of Empires III)|crossbowman]] and [[Skirmisher (Age of Empires III)|skirmisher]] units. They have fewer hit points than either unit and two less range than a true skirmisher (18 vs. 20), however they have better range than the crossbowman (18 vs. 16) while also having the skirmisher bonus versus heavy infantry and a much faster ranged attack speed (1.5 vs. 3.0). They also inflict superior melee damage than either unit and cost only slightly more than a crossbowman.

-**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.

-**The [[Japanese (Age of Empires III)|Japanese]] can stack this with their cheap shrine card ([[Japanese Home City Cards#Emperor's Treasury|Heavenly Kami]]) for 35% cheaper shrines ({{Resources|wood=81}} vs. 125).
-*Tupi poison arrow frogs are useful when stacked with other archer damage upgrades and home city card shipments.
-**The Japanese [[Ikko-Ikki]] monks benefit from this upgrade.
-*Tupi animal lore is largely useless, it adds some population free units to your attack force but ultimately it's hard to work into a strategy versus flesh and blood opponents.
-*All native tribes can only be upgraded to Legendary/Exalted status at the [[Town Center#Age of Empires III|town center]] or [[Capitol]], they can be upgraded to Elite/Disciplined or Champion/Honored for free through some [[Home City]] shipments.
-*Civilizations can remove the upgrade gold costs, or cut the upgrade costs in half depending on their home city cards.
