Known Issues
Ayyubid House of Wisdom does not allow for additional Wings when starting in Age 2 or Later
We are aware of an issue that impacts the Ayyubid’s House of Wisdom when starting the game in the Feudal Age (II), Castle Age (III), or Imperial Age (IV). When starting in these ages, the House of Wisdom does not account for any skipped ages and allow additional Wings to be built (like it does with its parent civilization, the Abbasid). We are tracking this issue and do not require any additional reports of this issue.
Crash on Canal Map when using unequal Team sizes
We are aware of a crash that occurs when loading into a match on the Canal map when team sizes are unequal (2v1, 3v2, etc). We are tracking this issue and do not require any further reports. Thank you.

Age of Empires 4
Age of Empires IV, the latest addition to the Age of Empires series, is a real-time strategy video game created by Relic Entertainment in collaboration with World's Edge and published by Xbox Game Studios. Released on October 28, 2021, for Windows and later on August 22, 2023, for Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S, the game marks the fourth installment in the renowned franchise.
In Age of Empires IV, players engage in strategic gameplay, building civilizations, managing resources, and commanding armies to achieve victory. With its launch on different platforms, the game extends its accessibility to a wider audience, allowing both PC and Xbox users to enjoy the immersive and historically inspired gaming experience.
Developed by a dedicated team, Age of Empires IV combines modern gaming technology with the beloved gameplay elements that have made the series a staple in the real-time strategy genre.
Age of Empires 4 Gameplay
Age of Empires IV takes players on a strategic journey through history, set in the Early Middle Ages to the early Renaissance period, starting from the year 750. In the game, there are eight civilizations, including English, Chinese, Mongols, and more. Two additional civilizations, Ottomans and Malians, were added in a free update. The game offers five single-player campaigns, such as The Rise of a King and The Hundred Years War, each presenting unique historical scenarios.
Players progress through four Ages—Dark Age, Feudal Age, Castle Age, and Imperial Age—by constructing Landmarks rather than advancing at the Town Center. Units include various types of land and naval units, each civilization having its own unique flavor. The Malians stand out with an asymmetric unit lineup. Buildings, from economic to military and defensive structures, contribute to the strategic depth, while Landmarks play a crucial role in advancing civilizations to new Ages.
