Piyade image - Age of Empires III: The Native Empires mod for Age of Empires III: The Asian Dynasties
As the original game, The Native Empires will focus on developing the American Indians theme. It will feature new playable native civilizations, as well as new European and minor civs and a whole new African continent to colonize. This mod aims to add fitting content without significally changing the gameplay and the overall feel of the game. The emphasis is not on adding the most to the game, but rather on adding the best: with nothing missing and nothing out of place.

Description
Piyade, an Ottoman pikeman, unit showcase
I felt like the Ottoman civilization needed a spear unit, as they do not have any anti-cavalry option apart from the Janissaries and Cavalry Archers later on. Piyades complement the Ottoman light artillery well and are only Ottoman units costing food and wood. They are trained in barracks, and in general the addition of the unit makes the Ottoman a less awkward civilization to play.
