An official expansion to Empires: The Age of Discovery and compatible with Age of Empires III, Empires: The Age of Discovery Builder Expansion will contain:

A NEW SPECIALIST: THE BUILDER

When placed on the colonist dock and sent to the New World it will increase the VP's scored for the region: +2 VP's/ Builder (of any color) for 1st place; +1 VP for second place. When placed in the Capital Building track, the player pays half the normal cost.

20 NEW CAPITAL BUILDINGS

These include some "buildings" that cost zero, but offer a one-time instant effect such as receiving $7, 2 free specialists, or 2 free trade goods. So even if a player is short on cash, a building action is available.

A RULES SHEET with the new Builder Rules, Capital Buildings, and even special rules for a historical start (Each Nation has a special ability and one or two Capital Buildings to start the game).

INCREASES THE NUMBER OF PLAYERS TO 6 by including a complete set of purple colonists.
