Age Of Empires 4 Patch Notes Today   

The highly anticipated Season 4 of Age of Empires 4, titled "Enchanted Grove," began on February 16, 2023, bringing with it a substantial update to the game. In addition to a range of balance adjustments, new map types, and a new game mode, the patch introduces a novel biome, the Enchanted Grove, to the real-time strategy game. Players can look forward to experiencing this new, magical setting in the upcoming update.

Patch 6.1.130 marks the end of the Enchanted Grove event, and we hope you enjoyed your time in the biome and with the Enchanted Stag. We've carefully considered your feedback and made some changes to improve your gaming experience. Specifically, we have removed the resource-gathering boost from the Hardest AI and introduced new levels of AI difficulty that use the boosted resource-gathering. We're eager to hear your thoughts on these changes! In addition to the new AI difficulty levels, we have also made improvements to in-game balance, addressed known issues, and made some slight tweaks to the trade mechanic as we work towards larger goals in that area. We're always striving to enhance your gameplay, and we hope you enjoy these updates.
