Age of Empires III The Inca

The Incas are one of the two civilizations introduced in Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition, the other being the Swedes.

Their main civilization bonus comes in the shape of their unique house, Kancha Houses, which support 12 population and passively produce food (although it does cost 125 wood). The Inca also receive a free Chasqui with each age which can construct Tambos, the powerful Incan Trading Posts which support 5 population and may garrison Villagers for extra damage. Similarly, military units may be garrisoned in Kallankas and Strongholds, two of the Incas' unique buildings. They also have access to the unique unit Priestess, which, although expensive (300 gold), can convert enemies and work at the Community Plaza.

The Inca also possess two unique ceremonies they may perform at the Community Plaza, the Moon Ceremony (which generates wood over time) and the Supay Ceremony (which spawns Macemen).

They appear to be similar to the Aztec civilization, with all infantry units trained at the War Hut and Kallanka, which appears to be the Incan counterpart of the Nobles' Hut. Priestesses are also similar to Warrior Priests as they may also work at the Community Center. The unique units of the Incan are also often similar to the Aztec and perform the same role.

The Incan can however also train all their units from their Stronghold, which seems to be the Incan equivalent of a Fort. The Stronghold and Kallanka also plays the role of a military garrison points excluding the garrisoned units population from the population census if garrissoned within a Kallanka or boosting the Stronghold's attack if garrisoned within a Stronghold.
