—In-game description

The Cree Coureur des Bois is a Native American villager in Age of Empires III. It is available at Cree settlements.

Overview[]

Although Cree Coureurs des Bois are available only in small numbers per Trading Post (5), they work in the same manner as the their French counterpart. Unlike most native units, however, they use up population.

For further information, see Coureur des Bois.
In regards to improvements and Home City Cards, the Cree Coureur des Bois is affected by all improvements and cards that would affect villagers.
