In this action adventure tale of historical fiction, players take on the role of Morgan Black and his family, struggling against the hostile wilderness and a mysterious cult that's crept in from Europe. In a series of 24 scenarios divided into three acts, Morgan Black and his descendants help the Aztecs resist conquest by Spanish conquistadors, pit the French against the British in the French and Indian War and help Simon Bolivar lead revolutions in South America.

Place in My Documents - My Games - Age of Empires III - RM3
Then run Age of Empires III: Asian Dynasties and select "Custom Maps" in Single Player or Online to play.
I recommend online play with these maps.
To get the new treasures to work:
Either install:
N3O Added Pack Mod:
Moddb.com
Gates for AI Mod + Proto Mod:

These maps are also good on games without Treaty, starting in Colonial Age. It helps the AI gain a foothold and give a challenge, while not requiring the player to wait for a time interval to get into action! With Rush games, it is good to begin in Colonial Age rather than Discovery Age to ensure that all players have a chance to winning!
