Description:
I have completed the Quick Reference Guide for TAD. I posted this a few weeks ago for the clan I am in, N3O and made a few changes based on their comments. Originally I made a huge list of changes I made from the TWC to TAD Guide but it is so long I doubt there are many in the ADD age that will read it all. My advice is to look through every sheet as if it is new because I pretty much changed everything a little and some things a lot.
This Guide answers all of the common questions and a few you never thought to ask. In general, I tried to group the worksheet tabs in categories and in alphabetical order. I also started coloring coding the worksheet tabs for easier grouping. I can find anything in the guide within a few seconds, just look for key words. The following topics are covered:
• AOE3 Quick Reference Guide (Cover sheet with useful links)
• Table of Contents
• BUILDING GUIDES
...Buildings – Defensive Structures
...Building Summary
• BREAKEVEN CALCULATIONS
...Breakeven – HC Shipment
...Breakeven – Native Big Button
...Breakeven – Unique Church Techs
• Consulate Summary
• Experience Guide
• FIRE PIT GUIDES
...Fire Pit Summary
...Fire Pit-Travois & Gift Dance (a mathematical comparison)
• Healing and Repairing Guide
• HOME CITY SHIPMENT GUIDES
...Home City Shipments – Asians
...Home City Shipments – European
...Home City Shipments – Natives
...Home City – Trickle Shipments (Villager equivalent calculations)
• Map Summary
• Market Analysis (compares advanced market and all Asian unique markets)
• MINOR NATIVE GUIDES
...Minor Natives, Temples, & Maps
...Minor Native Technologies
• Politicians, Councils, & Wonders
• RESOURCE RATE GUIDES

For those of you who do not have Excel, do not want to download a free viewer, but still want to access the spreadsheet, I have converted it to an .html file on my website:
On-line AOE3 TWC TAD Quick Reference
I would like to warn you that it does not look as good. The interactive features (i.e. calculators) do not function in this version (due to the .html). It was either have all the cells formatted and no interaction, or interaction with no formatting. Since the majority of this spreadsheet requires reading but no inputs, I decided to keep the formatting. It is sad Microsoft forces you into those choices but those are the only options I am aware of.
All in all, I should have been paid for this. But don’t get me wrong, it is not perfect, but I did strive for perfection. Go over it with a fine tooth comb and let me know of any mistakes I may have made. Please post all of your comments, error corrections, and general praise here.
