In the Dark Age, the Chinese civilization lives under the Tang Dynasty, which excels at exploration. The Chinese civilization is the only one in the game to have civilization bonuses change as it moves from age to age thanks to the Dynasty system. The Chinese are one of the most difficult civilizations to play in Age of Empires IV, as they require frequent re-evaluations of strategy. The English do well to push their early military and food advantages for aggressive pushes, claiming as much territory as they can, and then relying on their strong fortifications to hold onto it. Extra range also pops up for the civilization's unique unit, the Longbowman, which are cheap archers that can construct Palings to help negate archers' typical vulnerability to cavalry. English Town Centers also fire twice as many arrows as those from other civilizations, and English villagers use bows to attack, giving them a little more oomph than other villagers.Įnglish ships benefit from extra range, making them strong naval competitors.
Once you've claimed territory, it'll be hard to dislodge you, as English Town Centers, Outposts, Towers and Keeps all give nearby friendly units 25% extra attack speed. With that army in place, you'll be able to expand your sphere of influence quickly, especially as the Vanguard Man-at-Arms provides an early advantage against other infantry. This extra food allows them to build and maintain a larger army than other civilizations. As the English, your farms cost 50% less wood than other civilizations, and produce food 15% more quickly when within range of mills. The English playstyle is built around two essential concepts: powerful agriculture, and impenetrable defense. The English are a fundamentally defensive civilization, with a strong early game military and the fortifications to hold onto early gains. The English civilization is pitched as one of the simplest to play, which makes it a great place to learn the ropes. Photo courtesy of Relic Entertainment/Xbox Game Studios To
