* ScrewedByTheLawyers: Mexico is represented in-game by the [[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/77/Flag_of_the_Three_Guarantees.svg flag of the Three Guarantees]], which was a symbol of Revolutionary Mexico but short-lived as a national flag and replaced in 1821 with the modern tricolor. The complete lack of the modern Mexican flag is likely due to the country's unusually strong flag use laws, which essentially prohibit all displays of the flag in media unless you acquire a permit to do so.

* DoingItForTheArt:
** The ''4599'' separate voice-acted lines for just the skirmish AI (found in Age of Empires III/Sound/Chats directory).
** The sheer number of languages spoken by the units in the game. The major civilizations account for 14 different languages, the minor Native Americans account for another 16 languages and the mercenaries account for another handful, even though only one or two units will ever speak the languages. Some of these languages, e.g. Early Modern English (British); Japanese and Mandarin (Chinese), even have different regional pronunciations when used by different units.
