1. Game Information
WotTA is to date probably the largest mod for AoE3.
It expands the game to the nations of Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina, Colombia, Tupi, Egypt, Abyssinia, and Zulu. Course will be delivered alongside a new and improved revolutionary system, new units, technologies, and peoples, as well as a number of new random maps.
Historical Information
The War of the Triple Alliance, also known as the Paraguayan War, took place between 1864 and 1870. It is considered the bloodiest war in Latin American history. The war was fought between Paraguay and the allied countries of Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay.
2. Mod versions
WotTA has three different versions. The current version is beta for TWC and it's currently being updated into beta for TAD. The other two versions, that will come later, are gamma and then, echo. Each new version will bring new stuff that were incomplete in the later version. Echo is the final version. What's included in each version?
Beta
Already released for TWC; conversion to TAD nearly finished.
Adds many new civilizations: Brazilians, Paraguayans, Argentines, Colombians, Tupi

It's the first mod ever to add new politicians.

New game modes, new strategic units, new UI!
And some serious big new stuff that will just shine WotTA again as the largest and most creative mod ever created.
Delta

Epsilon
The final installment in WotTA, this will update the old nations, add in a few more secret gameplay additions, and polish off everything currently in the mod.
3. The Latin Americans
The Latin Americans are comparable to the Europeans, but they have a different culture.
Liberalism and Conservatism
If you are choosing an age-up politician, every nation has 2 liberal and 2 conservative politicians to choose from. Each of them introduces new technologies in the town hall and abilities for the coronel.
Immigration
The Latin Americans have Immigrants instead of Mercenaries. Immigrants can be chosen by selecting a civilization to ally with, similar to the consulate, from your Post Office. Throughout the rest of the match, your immigrant nation will communicate with you, and you can use it to build support soldiers and send powerful technologies. Everything from the Colony costs XP, however, so you have to choose between immigrants and hc shipments.
