Overview

The Indians are an Asian civilization featured in Age of Empires III: Wars of Liberty as a modified version of the original Indian civilization from Age of Empires III: The Asian Dynasties. In Wars of Liberty, the Indians are a religious people, who respect herdable animals and don't treat them as food.

Their military is based on fast camel units and strong elephants, whereas their economy mostly depends on the wood of the country's mango groves.
