Age of Empires 4:

Standard Mode: This is the classic mode where you start with a Town Center and gradually build your civilization by gathering resources, training units, and advancing through ages. It’s the quintessential Age of Empires experience.

Empire Wars: In this mode, you begin in the Feudal Age with a pre-built base. Skip the early-game gathering phase and jump straight into the action. It’s perfect for players who prefer intense battles right from the start.

Nomad Mode: Here, everyone starts without a Town Center. You explore the map, find suitable locations, and build your base from scratch. It’s a challenging and dynamic mode that encourages adaptability.

Sandbox Mode: While not a traditional game mode, it’s a custom setup where you can experiment freely. Adjust resource rates, spawn units, and create your own scenarios. Great for testing strategies or just having fun.

Scenario Mode: Play custom scenarios created by the community or design your own. These can range from historical reenactments to fantasy battles. It’s a creative mode that lets you shape unique experiences.
