Tupi Forest Burning is a technology in Age of Empires III that can be researched at a Trading Post or Tambo built on a Tupi settlement. Once researched, it reduces the wood cost of all buildings and construction wagons by 20%.
Overview[]
The Tupi Forest Burning bonus is multiplicative. It scales with bonuses from other technologies and cards that reduce construction wood costs.
It can be stacked with other building cost reduction cards for a significant discount.
- The Spanish can have 80 wood Barracks and the Chinese can have very cheap War Academies when this technology is combined with "TEAM Spanish Road" and/or "TEAM Art of War", which can be exploited to build walls using the structure.
- If the Russians are the third ally in a 3v3 game and send "TEAM House of Romanov", 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 hit points.
- The Japanese can stack this technology with the "Heavenly Kami" card for 75 wood Shrines.
