The Home City is a unique and powerful mechanic in Age of Empires III, acting as a persistent capital that levels up across all your games. As your Home City gains experience (earned by playing any game mode), you unlock Shipments – powerful cards that can be sent to your in-game colony. These shipments can provide resources, units, technologies, or even unique buildings. Before starting a game, you can customize your Home City deck with up to 25 cards. A well-constructed deck tailored to your chosen civilization and strategy can provide significant advantages. Prioritize cards that complement your early game build order and late game power spikes. Experiment with different decks to find what works best for your playstyle.
