The comparisons of CoE3 with Dom3 are interesting.

The TEAM abilities in CoE3 are great. You can see each others explored areas, you can both attack in a shared combat, you can sit inside of each others fortresses and towers, you can exchange sites.

The AI is smarter. There are separate AIs for each nation which allows some very specific instructions in the programming instead of general ones.

The AI even makes a pretty good ally for a TEAM. And certain nations pair up with other nations very nicely in ways that allow overlapping areas and best use of individual nations abilities without competing for the same resources.

The MAP commands for CoE3 include triggers which allow creating maps for scenarios. And the maps are text based which will make them much smaller for downloads.
