Age of Empires 4 – the game where you start with a peaceful village and end up screaming as Mongol horsemen burn it to the ground in 3 minutes. It’s like Age of Empires 2, but shinier, louder, and with even more ways to ruin your economy.

🔥 The Good Stuff:
✅ Trebuchets – Bigger, better, and still the superior siege weapon.
✅ Monks can still Wololo your units – Because losing a knight to hypnosis is great for morale.
✅ Walls, glorious walls – Until your opponent just walks around them.
✅ Mongols can pack up their buildings and move – Your city is gone, but hey, at least they left a note.
✅ Campaigns are basically history documentaries – I came for the battles, stayed for the voiceovers.

⚠ The Struggles:
🔹 The English Longbowmen have a personal vendetta against fun.
🔹 "Your villagers are under attack!" – Of course they are, what else is new?
🔹 Trying to micro military units while your economy collapses is a rite of passage.
🔹 AI either plays like a clueless chicken or an omniscient god – no in-between.

If you love medieval warfare, strategic heartbreak, and the soul-crushing sound of "You are being attacked," Age of Empires 4 is perfect for you. Just don’t forget to build houses… always build houses.
