4s Tycoon is a brand new game mode that  puts the focus on economic superiority  
8s over military domination. Free from the pressure of direct head-to-head aggressive play, this new mode  
14s encourages economic expansion and exploration, opening the door to a slew of new strategies  
19s and tactics not present in any other game mode  throughout Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition.  
24s At the beginning of the match, a score target  is set—when the first player or team reaches  
29s this score limit, the match is over and players  will receive a victory position equal to their  
33s score ranking. Points are earned by collecting  resources, constructing economic buildings,  
38s researching technologies and advancing, but most importantly, competing to claim  
43s challenge rewards. These challenges are only  available for a limited time, but have huge  
48s rewards will give you a serious edge against  the competition. Each of these challenges has  
52s a first, second, and third place reward, but each  with diminishing returns. Balancing your overall  
58s expansion strategy while pursuing these challenges  is key—prepare your decks and strategy accordingly!  
64s Despite not receiving any points for constructing  military buildings or training military units,
69s trading posts, wild hunt, and other natural  resources still need to be claimed and defended 
73s if you want a chance at scoring the top spot.   In Tycoon, any trained military units will slowly  
79s lose health, similar to the militiamen from  the Town Center's Levy. This will still give  
83s you enough time to tear down your opponent's  trading posts or push them off a nearby herd of  
86s wild hunt, but directly engaging your opponent's  town will be a futile battle.   
92s We hope you enjoy the twist on classic gameplay this new mode  brings to the table.
97s Tycoon will be available to everyone with the Knights of the Mediterranean expansion for Age of Empires 3: Definitive Edition!
