CONTENT UNLOCK: THE SWEDES
Overview
“The Swedish Empire became one of the greatest in Europe through innovation in military tactics and logistics. Its artillery and cavalry charges dominated the battlefields, particularly during the Thirty Years War. Despite a relatively small population, the Swedes fielded some of the largest armies in Europe, partly through the recruitment of mercenaries.”
In Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition, the Swedes more readily have access to military technology and utilize soldiers that are tactically divergent from traditional European units. With no Skirmisher or Dragoon, they rely more heavily on the Saloon to cover weaknesses and can easily unlock the right Mercenaries. Ultimately, the Swedish aim to maintain control over their natural resources to field impressive armies.
“Torps gather nearby resources. Mercenary shipments are cheaper and arrive more quickly. Advanced improvements available at the Arsenal.”
Unique Buildings
Torp (Age I, 125w) “Swedish House which spawns a small Berry Bush and gathers nearby resources.”
Unique Units
Carolean (Age II, 60f 40c, 1 pop) "Swedish Musketeer that fires quickly and counters Cavalry from range instead of melee. Can charge quickly with his sword equipped. Good in melee combat.”
Leather Cannon (Age II, 300f 100w, 3 pop) “Light affordable artillery than can fire and reposition quickly. Good against infantry.”
Hakkapelit (Age II, 90f 110c, 2 pop) “Heavy Hand cavalry from Finland with a powerful short-ranged attack”
Notable Features
Starting units:
Explorer
6 villagers
2 crates of food
2 crates of wood
Unique cards and homecity (Stockholm)
Advanced Arsenal improvements available by default
Unit Roster
Carolean
Pikemen (Royal Guard)
Hussar
Hakkapelit (Royal Guard)
Grenadier
Leather Cannon
Falconet
Culverin
Horse Artillery
Mortar
Petard
Leather Cannons are an alternative to Skirmishers and Caroleans become a powerful Dragoon replacement in the ‘late-game’ (via homecity cards); Sweden rely more heavily on Mercenaries in the interim (can easily gain access to Jaegers and Blackriders, among others)
