Hi everyone, I’d like to propose a new, separate casual game mode concept for Age of Empires IV, which I call “General Mode” (or “The Strategist Mode” ). The goal of this mode is to lower the mechanical barrier of entry and bring RTS back to its roots: pure strategic decision-making , rather than an APM (Actions Per Minute) competition. We’ve seen Microsoft successfully implement similar ideas like the “Villager Priority System” in Age of Mythology: Retold , and I believe a dedicated mode in AoE4 would attract a massive crowd of casual players. How It Works (The Core Mechanics) In this mode, players act as the High-Level Commander , while an integrated Tactical AI handles the repetitive micro-management (“the grunt work”). Automated Economy: Players don’t manually queue villagers or farms. You simply set a macro-direction via a dashboard (e.g., “Focus on Food/Gold for Castle Age” or “Balanced Economy”). The AI automatically produces villagers and distributes them to resources efficiently. Macro Production: Military buildings can be set to auto-train units based on a pre-set composition (e.g., “Maintain a ratio of 60% Lancers and 40% Crossbowmen”). Command-Based Warfare: Instead of micro-managing single units in battle, players issue high-level tactical orders on the map or minimap, such as: Flank from the West Set Defensive Line at this Chokepoint Raid enemy trade routes The unit AI will then execute these commands, automatically kiting, retreating when low on HP, or prioritizing counter-units. Why This Mode is Good for AoE4 Lower Barrier to Entry: Many players love the history, civilization designs, and grand strategy of AoE4, but quit because they cannot keep up with managing 100+ villagers while fighting on three fronts. A Pure Test of Wits: This mode elevates the game into a chess match. Winning depends entirely on your scouting, tech transitions, civilization matchups, and map control—not your finger speed. Preserving the Competitive Scene: This would be a comp

IMG-20260619-WA0000 557×212 21.1 KB I have the game on steam, on my primary (and only) SSD. I have the same config error on game launch that has been presented in the Forum before. Unfortunately, those same solutions didn’t work for me. What I’ve tried: Run as admin Verify integrity Reinstall Manually delete, verify (reinstall through the backdoor) Allow through ransomware protection (not only Cardinal, also webclient.exe and the two bssndrpt) Allow through Firewall for Cardinal Reinstall latest visual c++ thingy I’m all out of ideas. Is there a way to manually create the game config data? What puzzles me most is that it has worked previously. I did play the tutorial and for a bit over 3 hours in total. I don’t know what changed and what I can do. Please - does anyone has any idea? Thanks!

(what was happening at the time of the issue. this could be an action you or another player took right before the issue started) Repro Steps: Look at the twitch clip and replicate Spawn Bed Crossbows Shoot at target close to their maximum range Watch them miss many of their shots.
