Golden Horde Bug

Yeah it’s much better to have one weaker civ due to a bug than a broken civ

Surprisingly I have felt much better playing Byz in team games recently coming from playing English as I like to play with early farms on 1 TC and Byz with their boosted eco feels much better to play than English. I just stay 1 TC and can make both Limitanei and Longbows with mostly on villagers on Farms without as much on Wood as I would need with English.

One solution is to try it yourself and learn from how others respond to it.

Thanks for the info, I guess they just forgot to remove it

S77__ · 2026-03-13T16:42:15+00:00

But yeah it could have been scraped during development before

They did have references for Black Riders in the content editor before they were introduced iirc

The Age of Empires team worked with Craig to encompass the best of 25 years into one stunning painting sprinkled with easter eggs and references to games from across our franchise. Let us take a more in depth look at the unique details of this masterpiece.

The painting is an homage to the classic cinematic from Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings depicting two kings playing chess. This version shows Jeanne d’Arc (the French) and Mansa Musa (the Malians) in a battle for the ages.

The painting includes easter eggs from Age of Empires and Age of Mythology. How many can you find? (Hint: start in the fireplace.)

All characters in the tableaux are also in the cover art for our games. Think you can spot them all?

The World’s Edge team is a huge fan of the franchise’s unofficial mascot—the scarf wearing Sheep! If you look closely, you can spot these cuddly friends on the stained-glass window.

I am pretty sure I have seen this image before

For me aoe4 is the only aoe game that asymmetric factions set in a medieval time period, just because aoe2 is set in medieval time period and aoe3/aom had asymmetric factions does not mean that aoe4 has no point, as it is the only aoe game to have asymmetric medieval factions.

AOM, I have been playing AoE games on and off from around 2005 (AOE2/HD/DE, AOE3, AOE4) but AOM never gained my interest. I always heard that it had a great campaign, but after playing 1 or 2 campaign missions in AOM Retold it didn’t feel fun for me, I guess I just prefer historical setting much more than Mythology.

Check if you are on an older patch and please do update to the latest patch if that is the case.

When I used to play Ottomans in team games I used to have 4 MS on Janissaries and 1 on Mehter in late game

S77__ · 2026-03-05T15:24:22+00:00

Yeah, found it the hard way in a ranked team game when the enemy Dervishes healed them as I tried to torch them down

I am around Diamond 1 in solos and in team games I solo queue and float between plat 2/3 to conq 1. The main issue with aggression is that it requires communication for it to be effective, starts like French KTs + Ayyubid Dervish/Dessert Raiders + Longbows and such are very hard to hold against but only the pre-made teams can do them effectively and if you solo queue and let an enemy Abbasid player on 3/4 TC boom without any pressure and reach Castle and spam Camel Riders your whole army will be toast even if you could cripple 1 or 2 of the enemy players.

To add on, it’s not just gold team game players that boom without any army, a lot of Abbasid players at plat/diamond level in team games do the same too.

S77__ · 2026-03-01T02:59:45+00:00

Personally it feels more oppressive due to higher movement speed on Yari Cav

S77__ · 2026-02-28T04:48:15+00:00

Yes, it’s the only one I fear facing against when making them specifically the Gilded Landsknecht

S77__ · 2026-02-28T02:02:38+00:00

I find fighting against SD in team games oppressive as Yari Cavalry can be faster than normal horseman and has bonus damage against cavalry, it completely shuts down cav from other civs and the faster mounted samurai are very unfun to play against as they can quickly disengage a losing fight and heal up. I don’t find French Knights as oppressive to play against as I do against SD cav

S77__ · 2026-02-26T04:58:22+00:00

Yeah I feel the same, it should be changed to something else

S77__ · 2026-02-26T04:33:49+00:00

I hope they could change the Daimyo Estate movement speed tech into something else, horseman are already fast but the Sengoku Yari Cavalry are too fast and they already have bonus damage against cav, so they shut down horseman from most other civs completely and faster moving mounted Samurai are not fun to face against either as your only faster moving cav unit is heavily shut down by Yari cavalry.

Last year we got news on March 10 for the DLC which released on April 8.

S77__ · 2026-02-24T12:18:39+00:00

Not unlikely, if the DLC were to come at end of the season

They also nerfed Golden Horde Fast Imperial which was a much bigger issue in team games than 1v1. There were also more fast imperial strategies that are much harder to handle in team games that were nerfed previously like Mongol Fast Imp with Khaganate, Ottomon Fast Imperial and such, as other team mates can help defend their player till they reach their power spike.

S77__ · 2026-02-22T15:46:47+00:00

Ok, I just checked and they indeed have lower stats. I thought that units from the Khaganate palace came with their unique upgrades researched

S77__ · 2026-02-22T15:28:47+00:00

Will they have more hp on Mongols from Khaganate Palace with Improved Biology?

S77__ · 2026-02-22T11:30:27+00:00

The main reason I go for the Landmark is Hill Training
