which civilization are you gonna play?
If it's Japan, China, Aztec or the Sioux, these guides are pretty good for beginners:


Aztec
Chinese
Japanese
Sioux

Ottoman

Less detailed but should give you the idea. Still the best way to get your builds is to get a replay from rts-sanctuary.com
There aren't many detailed guides for aoe3.
Most is shared through replays.

I play on ESO 99%  of the time, and I think so does the rest. Maybe you can create a support ticket to recover it..

true, but it's still an awesome guide. British, Dutch, Otto and French still pretty much have the same builds (especially Dutch and French are barely different on RE 1.03). For some civs like Sioux it really doesn't work though.

Nevertheless I find it the most valuable source for aoe3 strategies.

I dont have fanpatch, actually I havent played the game in ages, I'm just playing b/c I wanna have a few games with some friends so I dont care much really :) I most likely won't play that much since AOEII HD comes out soon anyway.

Shoot hunts towards tc and ship 3 vills as first card. This will improve your gameplay greatly :D

oh fyi you don't need to buy tad or twc, just need it installed with a real key :)

Set attack move to space is my best advice for new players ! Even drew did this !

1 Key per account, I forgot my account but I still have key. They need product ID for recovery and email and stuff like that, I remember nothing but CD key, I was like 10 when I last played online. Also I *may* get the legacy pack on steam, but I'm not sure. I don't want to invest alot of time in gaming. Over the next months to april next year my activity will decrease.
