Once construction is completed, you will advance to the next age. Select the Landmark you want, and build it. Each Landmark has a predetermined reward and/or buff, similar to the Home City Cards and Shipments in Age of Empires 3.Įach Landmark also displays how many resources it requires and the time it will take to erect it.

This will bring up the Landmarks menu, where you choose between two distinct Landmarks for the next era. This is true for all civilizations except the Abbasid Dynasty, which we cover below. You can also do this by pressing "T" after selecting a villager. In this real-time strategy game, you must select a villager, then click the Advance Age button (Roman numeral) in the top right corner of their actions menu. Also have 2-3 of each military unit building (Barracks, Archery Ranges, Stables), so you can make reinforcements quicker.Another change in AoE 4 is that you won't advance to the next age through the Town Center. Make sure you always have more queued, if you run out of gold it’s okay to build cheap units, they are still good at throwing torches at enemy siege weapons. You can press Shift + Left Click on a military unit in the Barracks etc. This way you maintain a steady flow of new units while the enemy attacks. When a unit dies, it will automatically start creating a new unit. You can keep putting them in the queue after reaching the population limit.

If you have an excess of food, sell it to get gold. Use the Market (Age II building) to buy & sell resources to get 3000 of each.Then the Wonder icon can be selected and you can start to build it.īeware that once the Wonder is built, the enemies will be alerted and its location will be revealed to all opponents. You need 3000 of each resource to build it. Chances are that this icon will be grayed out, which is why it’s easy to overlook.Click on any villager (worker) and it will be the bottom icon under Age IV buildings. At Age IV, the Wonder becomes available for building.Each landmark advances to the next age (I > II > III > IV), so keep doing this until you reach Age IV, which is the final age. You do this by clicking on a villager (worker), then select the 5th icon in the 1st row on the bottom left window. First you must reach Age IV by building Landmarks that advance the age.
