| 19 | !Minor Factions |
| 20 | These civilizations are located in settlements scattered across the maps. Building a Trading Post on their settlements allows the player to spawn new, tribe-specific units as well as research new techs, granting different bonuses. These units are classified as "native warriors", which are cheaper than their equivalent counterparts and don't add to the population limit, but are weaker and have a build limit. Building a Native/Royal Embassy allows players to train these units outside of Trading Posts, as long as they're allied with beforehand. Some Home City Cards would allow training specific native warriors at Native/Royal Embassies even if their settlement isn't on the map, in exchange of giving them a population cost. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | !!Native American Tribes |
| 23 | Tribes of the New World which can be found in the New World-based maps. They provide soldiers and technologies to whoever builds a Trading Post in their village. ''Age of Empires III'' introduced the Aztec, Carib, Cherokee, Comanche, Cree, Incas (Quechua), Iroquois, Lakota (Sioux), Maya, Nootka, Seminole, and Tupi, while ''The [=WarChiefs=]'' added the Apache, Klamath, Mapuche and Navajo, and replaced the PromotedToPlayable Iroquois, Lakota and Aztec tribes with the Cheyenne, Huron and Zapotec tribes.

Their techs also involve sending said Mantlets every two minutes up to 30 minutes[[note]]"Iroquois Morning Wars" and "Huron Trade Dominance"[[/note]] and a military boost[[note]]"Iroquois Lacrosse" gives an attack bonus to ranged infantry, while "Huron Sun Ceremony" duplicates the train limit for its Mantlets[[/note]].

| 544 | * {{Cowboy}}: One of the bonuses of the "Morochucos" Home City is the shipment of 10 Morochucos, which are modified Comancheros armed with revolvers that fire burst of bullets like the organ guns. They cost food instead of coin, cost less Population, can construct Livestock Pens, train Cows, and gather from livestock. They can be trained in Stables, Fort, Galleon, and Saloon. |

| 561 | ---- |
| 562 | * ArmyScout: Eclaireurs are fast cavalry units that replaces all preexisting Native Scouts and trainable at Town Centers and Native Embassies. They benefit from Agility promotion as well, allowing them to be even faster. |
| 563 | * BadassBystander: Sansculottes are Settlers who are better at fighting than they are at gathering, and both capabilities can be improved by sending certain cards such as "Reign of Robespierre" (which causes them to frighten enemies) and "Guillotine" (which makes them better against heroes). |
| 564 | * CompositeCharacter: Revolutionary France combines the Republican period, Robespierre's Reign of Terror, and a much more pronounced nod to Napoleon's French Empire. |
| 565 | * EliteArmy: Several of the cards available after sending the "Napoleonic Era" card improve the French army in various respects to make them outclass their opponents in quality, such as "French Royal Army" (which enables Musketeers and Halberdiers to benefit from Combat promotions to receive extra hitpoints and damage for each defeated enemy military unit) and "Grande Armée" (which allows Imperial upgrades to be researched and at half the cost). |
| 566 | * GrenadeLauncher: Royal Musketeers from the House of Bourbon turn into Foot Carabineers under this Revolution, where they exchange their charged pistol attack for a grenade one. |
| 567 | * MechanicallyUnusualFighter: Unlike other Revolutionary Nations, Revolutionary France has the unique ability to advance to the Imperial Age via the "Napoleonic Era" card. This card also expands their deck with several new cards. Even without said card, Revolutionary France's card deck is far larger than that of the average Revolutionary Nation, with it being comparable to that of the Mexican Revolutionary Nations. |
| 568 | * RuleOfSymbolism: |
| 569 | ** The "Napoleonic Era" pseudo-age-up card costs 1,789 food, 1,804 wood and 1,815 coin. [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1789_in_France 1789]] was the year of the Storming of La Bastille, Napoleon himself got appointed as Emperor on [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1804_in_France 1804]] and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1815_in_France 1815]] was the year of his defeat at the Battle of Waterloo. |
| 570 | ** The Napoleonic Era tech "Grand Battery" costs [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1804_in_France 1,804]] coin. 1804 was the year the Napoleonic Code was instituted and ended with the coronation of Napoleon I. |
| 571 | ** The Napoleonic Era tech "Rustam's Regiment" costs [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1798_in_France 1,798]] coin. This reflects the arrival of Napoleon's troops in Egypt on that year's July 1st. |
| 572 | ** The Napoleonic Era tech "Continental Blockade" costs [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1806_in_France 1,806]] coin. 1806 was the year said blockade was announced. |
| 573 | * StuffBlowingUp: As a nod to Napoleon's background as an artillery officer, several of the new cards gained from the "Napoleonic Era" card revolve around artillery, such as "Grand Battery" (ships 3 Heavy Cannons and 3 Horse Artillery) and "Flying Battery" (which increases artillery move and attack speed). |
| 574 | * ZergRush: Several of their cards allow them spam Revolutionaries such as "National Guard" (which sends 2 Revolutionaries for each shipment sent so far) and "Client States" (which spawns Revolutionaries for each Trading Post). |

| 612 | ---- |
| 613 | * AwesomePersonnelCarrier: Trek Wagons can be used as a transport for Settlers in addition to gaining attack the more Settlers garrisoned in them. They can also be used as a shield for backline units. |
| 614 | * BadassBystander: Once it is full of Settlers, Trek Wagons can be powerful through their abilities. Combine this with the "Wanderlust" Home City card, which increases Settlers and Trek Wagons' speed and all other unit's hitpoints, and the fact that this card can be sent three times. |
| 615 | * ACommanderIsYou: Economist. Their bonuses completely climb up their resource gathering as their Settlers gather more than usual and don't become Revolutionaries. Dutch Banks trickle even more Coin, while the British can build up to 2 Banks as well (plus another 2 with the "2 Bank Wagons" card). In addition, their Home City cards involve improving their economy like "Huguenots"[[note]]allows them to train Coureur des Bois[[/note]], "Factory Wagon" and "Robber Barons"[[note]]lets them build Factories[[/note]], and "Diamond Rush"[[note]]ships a Diamond Prospector Wagon that creates a diamond mine holding 100000 Coin[[/note]]. |

Some of the United States's strongest units are long-ranged units, which include their Gatling Guns and the Sharpshooters, long-ranged snipers that deal more damage against heavy infantry and light ranged cavalry, which are shipped from the "Morgan's Continental Sharpshooters" Home City card. |
| 632 | * BadassBystander: Through the "Conscription" Home City card, they can ship a load of Minutemen, and they no longer lose hitpoints over time. This means that you can grow an army in an instant, especially since Forts get the technology "Levy" as well. |

| 832 | * AwesomeButImpractical: "UsefulNotes/MeijiRestoration" advances the Japanese to the Imperial Age at the cost of 4000 export. Not only the player will advance in age without getting any kind of bonus that they would get by building a wonder, which is a death sentence in most scenarios, but 4000 export is far slower to gather in the Industrial Age compared to 4000 food and 4000 coin, even at the highest export gather rate. |
| 833 | * ACommanderIsYou: Brute Force. This consulate is geared towards pure offense. Their passive bonus gives land units higher attack. "Bushido Principles" allows units to be trained in blocks of 10 instead of 5. "Military Rickshaw" grants a free Stable or Barracks to train more units from. "Clan Offerings" makes a one-time Samurai spawn from each Castle. Their units are powerful and trainable like regular units instead of like Consulate armies, but are slow and can be picked off from range. |

| 895 | '''Unique Units''': Rodelero, Hoop Thrower, Lancer |
| 896 | ---- |
| 897 | * AscendedExtra: The Knights of St. John, also known as the UsefulNotes/TheKnightsHospitallers, were an opponent faction in the Saladin campaign in ''VideoGame/AgeOfEmpiresII'', where they were represented by the Teutons. |
| 898 | * CripplingOverspecialization: Their Hoop Throwers are effective only against Janissaries... and nothing else. [[spoiler:The Ottomans are found as enemies only during the first, second and fourth missions of ''Blood''. By the time of the last mission of ''Blood'', they're fighting ''at your side'']]. |
| 899 | * DiscardAndDraw: The "Royal Decree to Claim the New World" Home City Card unlocks Temple techs that give the player advantages and disadvantages: |
| 900 | ** "Corselet" increases the hitpoints of their heavy infantries at the cost of speed. |
| 901 | ** "Tax Burden" periodically ships 100 gold for every minute but drastically reduces the villager's hitpoints. |
| 902 | * DoesNotLikeGuns: While they have access to Falconets and Mortars, they lack gunpowder infantry units such as Musketeers and Skirmishers. |
| 903 | * {{Expy}}: They share many traits with the Spanish. Similar architecture, similar units down to their unique units (with the exception of many gun-toting units), and their Home City is based on the Spanish Home City. It helps that the Spanish are considered a {{Skill Gate Character|s}} civilization, and the KOSJ are as basic as you can get (i.e. cannot advance further than the Fortress Age). |
| 904 | * HistoricalHeroUpgrade: The in-game Knights of St. John being opposed to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_Malta slavery and taking free stuff from non-Christians]]. But it's just [[UnreliableNarrator a family tall tale]]... [[RealAfterAll maybe]]. |

| 911 | ---- |
| 912 | * DiscardAndDraw: Upon shipping the "Royal Decree to Claim the New World" Home City Card, you can research the "Customized Merc Weapons" at the temple, which increases the attack of all mercenaries while raising the cost of buildings. |
| 913 | * {{Expy}}: Their roster combines that of German cavalry (Uhlans and War Wagons) and French infantry (all 5 units from the European Barracks). |
| 914 | * NobleWolf: In addition to increasing John Black and Kanyenke's hitpoints, the "Mercenary Drills" Home City Card allows Kanyenke to train up to 5 "Buck the Tame" Wolves. |
| 915 | * PrivateMilitaryContractors: A band of mercenaries defending the American colonies from Native American attacks, [[spoiler:and later, The Circle's ambitions]].

| 928 | * DiscardAndDraw: Upon shipping the "Royal Decree to Claim the New World" Home City Card, you can research the "Grand Encampment" technology, which, like the British's "Thin Red Line" tech, increases the Musketeers' hitpoints at the cost of their speed. |
| 929 | * {{Expy}}: They have similar traits to the British, including their Royal Guard upgrades and Manor building. They can also build Rockets in their Artillery Foundry instead of being automatically generated from the Factory. |

| 937 | * BackForTheFinale: The Boneguard swordsman variant is only found in ''Blood'', with the musketeer replacing it afterwards. However, the swordsman variant shows up again in the final scenario. |
| 938 | * CosmopolitanCouncil: The Circle of Ossus has members from various European powers. |
| 939 | * EliteMooks: Their elite troops, the Boneguard, are some of the toughest units that can be found in the campaign. They come in two variants: the swordsman and the musketeer. |
| 940 | * LightIsNotGood: They have white animals at their service and their ships allude to the color white, but they're an evil organization. |
| 941 | * SavageWolf: The White Wolf, which appears in Act III. Beaumont had two wolves at his side to [[spoiler:sic and kill Cooper]]. |
| 942 | * ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: While the Circle does have its own army, it's also as likely to use its myriad connections throughout Europe to have others do their dirty work, including Russians in Act II. |

But the Artillery Foundry is still available near the end of the campaign even after the rest of the tech tree is fully changed to a Sioux/Lakota one.
