Revolutions are a mechanic in Age of Empires 3, which allows European nations to revolt from their Home City and for a new nation with additional units, cards and bonuses. Although it can give a great temporarily military boost, it also comes at the cost of not being able to advance to the Imperial Age.
Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition comes with 8 brand new revolutions and a complete overhaul of the existing revolution system. No longer do you have to sacrifice your full economy, you can keep on playing as your newly formed nation!
