## Overview

The **Canadians** are an Anglophone civilization in *Age of Empires III: Wars of Liberty.*
The Canadian economy is based on the abundance of maple trees in their area of the world. Experienced Canadian lumberjacks gather huge quantities of maple wood in their log cabins, which is then traded with other countries. Canadians love their forests and their government takes measures for the restoration of the trees that are cut, while the Canadian military is equally dependent on wood. The Canadians can gather Wood very quickly using their unique House, the Log Cabin, which trickle Wood, and nearly every building they construct will spawn with trees.
Canadians' Home City cards are focused on being team-oriented with many cards that benefit the entire team. The two factions of the Canadians are **New England** and **New France**. Food is not needed to Age up as Wood replaces Food for their Age up costs. They have a strong roster of unique unit options in the early game and in the late game.
## Features

* Maple trees are spawned near finished constructions

### Political Factions

#### **New England**

    New England pertains to the English of Canada. The unique units of the faction include the Foot Guard, Fencible, Mountie, and Black Watch. These units are longer ranged than their New French counterparts and also have a somewhat weaker hand attack. Also, their ranged attacks tend to deal more damage.

#### **New France**

     New France pertains to the French of Canada (Quebec). The unique units of the faction include the Troupe de la Marine, Metis Rebel, Mississauga Horse, and Voltigeur de Quebec. French unique tend to have a shorter range than their English counterparts, yet possess both a strong hand attack and have more multipliers against certain units. Also, some units like the Metis Rebel and Mississauga Horse cost wood instead of coin making them much easier to train in mass thanks to Log Cabins.

## In-game Dialogue

Pioneers, Fur Traders, Priests, and the units obtained through New France politicians all speak French, while units obtained through New England politicians speak the same variant of English similar to those spoken by the British in-game.
