Embark on a grand new chapter in the Age of Empires IV saga with Dynasties of the East, an expansion that redefines the art of real-time strategy through the lens of some of history’s most dynamic Eastern empires. This expansion invites players to explore an era of ambition, conquest, and innovation.
Age of Empires 4: Dynasties of the East introduces four distinct variant civilizations, each with its own historical flavor and gameplay innovations. Lead the Golden Horde, a formidable evolution of the Mongol legacy, where mobility meets devastating power through the mighty Golden Tent and the ability to unite your forces for overwhelming assaults. Command the Macedonian Dynasty, a Byzantine-inspired powerhouse that thrives on the trade of Silver and wields elite Varangian warriors to dominate both land and sea. Step into feudal Japan with the Sengoku Daimyo, where you'll pledge loyalty to one of three great clans—Takeda, Oda, or Hojo—and shape the fate of the Warring States era through clan-specific bonuses and strategic estate management. Finally, rise to prominence as the Tughlaq Dynasty, a Delhi Sultanate variant that introduces a dynamic Governorship system and deploys unique units like the Worker Elephant and Ballista Elephant to secure territorial control.
Dynasties of the East introduces a brand-new single-player roguelite mode that transforms traditional RTS gameplay. Every run presents procedurally generated challenges, unpredictable objectives, and escalating threats. With permanent upgrades and evolving strategies, no two campaigns will ever play the same, making this mode a true test of adaptability and long-term planning.
The expansion widens your horizons across eight new maps and six beautifully designed biomes, each offering unique strategic opportunities. From volcanic black-sand shores to lush tropical rainforests and serene highlands, every battlefield feels fresh and alive. These diverse environments encourage experimentation and reward players who can adapt their tactics to the terrain.
In Dynasties of the East each civilization introduces fresh economic, military, and political mechanics that redefine how empires grow and wage war. Whether you prefer the swift cavalry strikes of the Golden Horde, the diplomatic and trade mastery of the Macedonians, or the disciplined warfare of the Sengoku Daimyo, every match offers new ways to think, plan, and conquer.
