Age of Empires IV

Notes:

Greetings, Age of Empires IV community! We hope you’re staying cool and hydrated this summer. We’re coming at you with a nice, refreshing new patch for the season! We are pretty happy with where gameplay is right now, so we aren’t going to be introducing a ton of new balance changes. That said, we’re always eager to iron out those pesky bugs and issues that pop up! Plus, we’ve got a new event: Winds of Change. Winds of Change Event The wilds bloom and wither, kings rise and fall, and time marches on – the Winds of Change spare nothing under the sun. Adapt to the battlefield and outwit the competition in Season Eleven’s newest event, Winds of Change! Push yourself to complete a fresh set of challenges, including several from the newly introduced Chaotic Climate game mode. The Winds of Change seasonal event will start on July 30th. Gameplay General Season Ten Shepherd monuments will now correctly appear when equipped. Naval units will now receive the correct buffs in the Chaotic Climate mode. The Abundant Kindling buff from the Chaotic Climate game mode will now correctly modify attack damage. The Warm Pelts buff from the Chaotic Climate game mode now correctly grants one extra armor instead of granting 1% armor (this formerly caused armor to be overridden by the percent armor). Added missing text within the Chaotic Climate game mode. Increased the chances of granting a buff or debuff from the seasonal pool (rather than drawing from the general pool) in the Chaotic Climate game mode. Maps General Map Changes The Chaotic Climate game mode now uses the unranked map pool instead of only selecting the Dry Arabia map. The Map Monsters game mode now uses the unranked map pool instead of only selecting the Dry Arabia map. Civilization-Specific Changes Mongols When playing the Chaotic Climate game mode, Mongol buildings will now retain their seasonal buffs and debuffs when packing and unpacking buildings. Rus When playing the Chaotic Climate game mode, Rus Lodya will now retain their seasonal buffs and debuffs when changing ship roles via the upgrade.
