Overview
Forts and Saloons are the two buildings in Age of Empires 3 that have a unique original name afforded to them with each construction. No two of these buildings will have the same name unless multiples are built. Forts must be shipped from the Home City and thus have unique historical names given to them by the corresponding civilisation. Forts are powerful defensive buildings that can train Cavalry and Infantry units, so there is usually a limit of two per game for each player. Saloons in Age of Empires 3 train mercenary and outlaw units some of which are randomly selected to be available to train each game. Kudos to the developers for some fun, creative Saloon names!THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION WAS OBTAINED IN-GAME. CREDIT GOES TO THE GAME DEVELOPERS.One of the most famous Forts is Fort McHenry which was under siege by the British for 25 hours during the American War of Independence in 1814. The poem ‘Star Spangled Banner’ was written by Francis Scott Key about the siege, and was later adopted as the American national anthem in 1931. ‘The rocket’s red glare’ lyric in the anthem refers to the British’ Navy Congreve Rockets used to bombard Fort McHenry during the siege. Credit must go to the game developers for this paragraph of information. Thanks to the developers for including such interesting information and educational elements in the game. See the Info Tab whilst a Congreve Rocket or a Fort is selected in-game for more information.(Image: pixy.org under Creative Commons)
