sorry to disappoiint chums but this is from the gamespots preview section As such, you can play as the Spanish, English, French, Portuguese, Dutch, Prussians, Russians, and even the Ottomans, in the race to conquer the Americas by establishing colonies, monopolizing trade, and crushing the opposition by warfare. (Native American tribes, such as the Cherokee and the Aztecs, can be enlisted as allies during a game, and you can raise Native American armies, but they aren't really a playable faction like the European ones.) you can see it here http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/ageofempiresiii/preview_6131066.html better luck in AOE4?
