So I've set out to further look into the ladder winrates, and peculiarily, the Delhi Sultanate lies at top 1 of the best civs in 1700+ elo. Let's see why!

​ I always felt that AoE IV played it too safe. Instead of asking "How do we evolve Age of Empires?", it mostly asked "How do we recreate AoE II?" Here's the direction I would have taken: - Setting: Late 18th century to roughly 1930/35. The focus isn't WW1 or WW2, but the rise of the industrial nation. - No historical ages by date. Instead, each Age represents a new way your empire functions. For example: - Age of Settlement – expand, secure resources, establish villages. - Age of Organization – roads, administration, postal routes, better city planning. - Age of Industry – railways, factories, logistics, industrial districts. - Age of Information – telegraph, observation balloons, zeppelins, long-range reconnaissance. The important part is that every Age introduces a new gameplay layer, not just stronger units. Some ideas: - Scouts don't just reveal resources—they gather intelligence. Early on, information has to be brought back before it becomes permanent knowledge. - The map is divided into current vision, explored territory and outdated intelligence, making reconnaissance relevant throughout the game. - Roads automatically improve movement. Later, railways become the backbone of your empire. - Armies automatically board trains at railway depots if a connected network exists—no transport micromanagement required. - Railways create entirely new strategic objectives. You're no longer fighting only for gold mines, but for mountain passes, bridges, junctions and supply corridors. - Engineers repair bridges, convert captured rail lines and restore damaged infrastructure. - Instead of simply destroying everything, players can block tunnels, cut railway lines or sabotage logistics. The result would be a fourth strategic pillar alongside economy, military and technology: Information & Infrastructure. Your empire wouldn't just become stronger over time—it would become better organized. Campaigns could still tell historical stories (American Civil War, German Un

just started a week ago playing 2s. Even though we get rolled every game the games are still fun and improvement is rewarding. I was a Gold Zerg in Sc2 and played MOBAs so I’m not completely new to the genre. i guess I’m looking for a coach but it doesn’t have to be anything serious would just like some questions answered and games looked over every once in a while. https://aoe4world.com/players/25939141-CC

Roughly every second game in ranked (Platinum), my opponent pauses the game— and almost always at the same kind of moment. Not randomly, but right after I win a big fight or I take down their second Town Center. Basically, the moment the game swings my way. When I ask about it in chat, the answer is always some version of "sorry, got a call." That's a completely normal thing to happen, and I rarely resume the game myself out of courtesy. What bothers me is the frequency and the timing. I've been playing for a long time, and this simply wasn't a thing I ran into before — it's only started in the last few weeks. To be clear, I'm not accusing anyone specific and I'm not naming names. People do get calls. I might be pattern-matching after a bad run. But my honest question is whether some players are alt-tabbing and using a tool — an AI assistant specifically — to work out what to do next. Not map hacks or anything that reads the game, just outsourcing the decision-making, which to me is the actual game. (English isn't my first language, so I used Claude to help me write this up clearly. The experience and the opinions are mine. :) )

I know this has been brought up here a couple of times here, but I am curious if there is a negative that I am not thinking about. One change that I would like to see is that stone towers and castles cannot be damaged by torches (similar to walls), which would mean you would need siege to destroy them. It feels like horses are the “Do It All” unit, and they can make quick work of castles and even quicker work of towers. This usually makes it feel hopeless when trying to defend these positions. I feel like this change wouldn’t ruin raids/hit and runs, and it would also provide a little more value defensively. What am I missing here?

While playing matches vs bots I had one where the enemy rolled up with a bunch of melee and ballista elephants and even tho I had plenty of spears and crossbows he just went through that like butter 🥲 any tips on what units I should go to deal with that type of stuff (outside of simply being agressive enough to prevent them from making them in the first place ofc) ? Would it have been enough to go into heavy spears ?

Hey guys, so pretty new player here and am struggling to find info elsewhere. I play on ps5 but can't seem to figure out how to chat in game (typed txt) is this function just not supported for ps5 or do I need a plug in key board or something? Cheers :)

Hello idle villagers, I would appreciate some feedback from my last game as to how to beat the army composition my opponent had. He was play Ottoman's and I was play Templars. It was a good game for me right up until we had our first army on army collision where he just wiped me from the map. He had a more diverse army than myself and better counters, but this morning I woke up thinking, what army comp would have been good against his and I was struggling to come up with a proper answer.
