What gameplay to expect?
The previous Age of Empire games was dominated by a single period in history. That has made the middle ages their desired period. However, the Age of Empires 4 gameplay seems to suggest an adventure through a time where several different civilizations are reappearing. It’s not sure whether it’s going to be two armies of various periods battling each other or a solitary storyline journey.
Players are likely to lead a historic nation or civilization to income and victory by gathering resources, constructing new systems and innovations, competing to dominate other nearby civilizations, and progressing through ages. Apart from new gameplay attributes, players can probably expect new and improved cultures to choose from.
Although the Age of Empires is known for its large narrative campaigns. It has been reported that the new installment will feature smaller games that players can complete in a timely fashion.
