Age of Empires IV

About

Age of Empires IV is a real-time strategy game developed by Relic Entertainment, set in the medieval period. It offers a classic RTS experience with base-building, resource gathering, and military unit management. Players can choose from 16 civilizations, each with unique units, technologies, and landmarks that reflect their historical context. The game features four Ages: Dark, Feudal, Castle, and Imperial, similar to previous titles in the series. Advancing through these Ages involves constructing specific landmarks rather than upgrading at the Town Center. The game includes a robust single-player campaign with six story-driven missions, focusing on historical events like the Norman Conquest and the Mongol Empire. Players can also engage in multiplayer modes against other players or AI opponents. Age of Empires IV is praised for its historical accuracy and engaging gameplay, although some critics note its conservative approach to innovation within the series. It has received awards for its strategic depth and historical storytelling.
