Here are some articles I have written throughout the years. Most of them are quite old going back to high school.
Age of Empires III Data
, Gaming Articles, David Bond
Welcome, I hope you enjoy these data tables. Below you will see various civilizations shipments from age2 and age3 which can be quantified into villager seconds. I obviously have not included shipments such as +10% hp since these are non-quantifiable. If you are not familar with villager second here are some resources you might want to check out.
AoEIII Gather Rates
Some Old stuff from AOK, still a good read.
More AOK Stuffs

Also while these can be interesting do not base everything off of these charts since they look at the game from soley a statistical standpoint. For instance when I FF i use the 700 gold card and I gather over 700 wood while I am aging up. One might say woudlnt it be better if you sent the 700 wood card and gathered the 700 gold since you would be saveing 300!!! villager seconds. And well yes you are right however if you did the FF that way it is going to take you quite a while to get the the towers you need to defend yourself. Thus while you might get to the 3rd age faster you are going to be dead because you wont have anything to defend yourself. Similarly the 3 hussar card might seem very useless, but one can't forget how valuable it can be when used to do an early raid.
Also with the mercs I have calculated their shipment worths and deduced the gold cost to ship them. There costs are based on their proto.xml costs and therefore are very sketchy on whether of not they are accurate.
Finally all german shipments are inflated since the germans get uhlans, or extra units with their shipments. For shipments which recieve 2 uhlans that is an additional 462 VS and for 3 that is 692 VS. One must remember that other civs have bonuses that do not show up from this statitical viewpoint. For the french the CS worth represents Coureur seconds, since villager second do not accuratly represent their econominy. Very soon I will have a conversion factor to convert from a Coureur base to a settler base system. Right now I have 3 civilzations posted. More will come later. All Villager Second are based on the base gather rates.
