AOE 4 Tier List: All Civilizations Ranked [V6.0.878]

Each of the eight AOE 4 Tier List civilizations will be examined to determine where it falls in the hierarchy. Keep in mind that this is only a personal opinion. Yours may be different. The fact that you disagree with me is entirely okay.

To account for this, there is a ranking system. Starting with the finest civilizations, we’ll move on to other civilizations.

S Tier

Our AOE 4 Tier List comprises of excellent civilizations that are very flexible, match up well with other civilizations, and can be picked up on almost every map.

English

The English civilization is adaptable in all matchups and capable of pulling off different tactics. Age of Empires IV includes the English as a playable European culture. In the Age of Empires IV, the English are a formidable opponent in the defense.

As a result of their superior archery, ownership of castles and other fortifications, and a food supply that has proven reliable for millennia, the Romans’ power is unmatched. Age of Empires IV presents the English civilization during the Anglo-Saxon period in Great Britain, from 850-1555 CE.

From the Middle Ages to the Late Renaissance of the 16th century, you see the narrative of a civilization that has withstood empires falling, conquerors conquering, and plagues.

Choosing to play as the English in Age IV gives you a leg up in the competition for resources and success, thanks to a slew of critical benefits. The English had access to cheaper farmland than other civilizations, providing a consistent food supply to increase improvements and troops over matches substantially. For brief periods, the English relied on their extensive network of fortified towns, outposts, and towers and kept away to alert their troops and defensive buildings when an enemy approached.

Unique units	Longbowman.
Landmarks	Council Hall/Abbey of Kings, King’s Palace/The White Tower, Berkshire Palace/Wynguard Palace.
Unique building	N/A

French

The French will be our next civilization to examine. They’re very adaptable, like English, and I expect that to be the case as the rankings evolve. It all comes down to the civilization’s adaptability, which we’ll discuss in the coming weeks as we look at the Holy Roman Empire. The French have got up a lot of different strategies that they can employ. It’s a civilization with a plethora of exciting pairings. Age of Empires IV includes the French as a playable European civilization.

As a military powerhouse known for its cavalry, the French have shown time and time again that they can turn the course of a fight. Between 840 and 1559 CE, the Age of Empires IV’s French civilization is modeled on a medieval France that overcame hardship to achieve greatness.

France became a great modern country after overcoming invasions, epidemics, and uprisings. For hit-and-run tactics, French cavalry attacks may shatter enemy lines and inflict more damage.

This civilization will take you from the period of chivalry and noble battle to the worst hour of France’s history and its construction of a disciplined army capable of freeing the country with a cannon’s rumble. Gunpowder siege weapons, strong knights, and advantages in commerce are the French civilization’s strengths. When resources are few, the ability of French Traders to bring back any required resources is an invaluable asset.

Unique units	Royal Knight, Arbalétrier, Galleass, Cannon.
Landmarks	Chamber of Commerce/School of Cavalry, Royal Institute/Guild Hall, Red Palace/College of Artillery.

A Tier

A-tier is an above-average tier where I put my favorite AOE 4 Tier List civilizations with the same amount of love as the civilizations above them.

Holy Roman Empire

AOE’s 4th-tier civilization list has the Holy Roman Empire as its next target. There is a chance that this civilization might be S-tier. I believe that still could be the case, but I think people are going to sort it out obviously in the early days of the fresh new patch, but already we are beginning to see new construction orders emerge. The Holy Roman Empire is in such a strong position because that early prelate speeds up their earlier game, which is when they are hurting the most.

The Holy Roman Empire is a playable European civilization in the Age of Empires IV. An infantry force backed by a religious element, the prelate, helped create the Holy Roman Empire’s culture. The Age of Empires IV occurred in the Holy Roman Empire and lasted from 936 to 1517 CE. There was an empire that claimed to have been the true successor of the Roman Empire, which was based in contemporary Germany.

Using an army of enthusiastic Landsknechte, its rulers ruled central Europe and wanted to conquer Rome, the center of Christianity. The Holy Roman Empire stands out regarding religious units accessible in Age IV. Players can boost Villagers’ economic development with the prelate if they utilize it correctly. The Holy Roman Empire is a formidable infantry-based civilization with various defensive turtling tactics at its disposal.

Unique units	Prelate, Landsknecht.
Landmarks	Meinwerk Palace/Aachen Chapel, Regnitz Cathedral/Burgrave Palace, Elzbach Palace/Palace of Swabia.
Unique building	N/A

Mongols

Recently, the Mongols were both nerfed and buffed. It was nerfed due to that, yam, auto network speed. Because the Mongols had no walls, this was the worst blow to their civilization that we could see, and it fundamentally altered the Mongols’ identity.

They must use their yam network to increase their forces’ pace and protect against counterattacks. If you have outposts throughout the map, you will still not be able to infringe against your enemy’s base at rapid speed and then duck away because we have observed it since the yam network was lingering.

Age of Empires IV includes a playable Asian culture, the Mongols. Players new to the game may find them, along with the Chinese, one of the most challenging civilizations to learn. Mongols are nomadic people capable of building and moving their settlements as necessary. However, they can develop outposts since they cannot build walls or fortifications, which might backfire on them. Ovoo and outposts are the only permanent constructions in Mongolia since their buildings cannot be moved to a new location and replaced.

Even while the Mongols may be a mighty civilization in the early going, their inability to effectively protect themselves makes them increasingly susceptible to siege attempts as the game progresses. As a result, the Mongol civilization’s sole means of protection are attacks. During the Age of Empires IV campaign, the Mongols are the only culture to produce two military units simultaneously (paying for the second one with stone). Ovoos’ influence may be used by locating their military facilities there.

The Mongols are a culture with a wide range of influences. It is not uncommon to witness tower rushes, though. Perhaps that is a sluggish tower. They don’t need to think about it since the free tickling of stone that Mongols constantly have flowing in makes it so simple to acquire such emplacements. They depend on ensuring that they offer the opponent an appropriate level of punishment. For the Mongols, this will be a deciding factor in many games. Hence, I will put them in the A tier of the AOE 4 Tier List.

Unique units	Khan, Mangudai, Traction Trebuchet.
Landmarks	Deer Stones/The Silver Tree, Kurultai/Steppe Redoubt, The White Stupa/Khaganate Palace.
Unique building	Ger, Pasture, Ovoo.

B Tier

All of these cultures are great, but they all have many problems. If you start well, you won’t do badly with them, but only if you do. After I tell you about a few things that have happened, you’ll see why the rest are here.

Delhi Sultanate

The civilization has a plethora of interesting matches. However, it’s essential to keep in mind that they also feature a lot of terrible maps. If you’re looking at competitions, Delhi is an excellent selection for the pocket pick on particular maps if you want to main a civilization. More and more cultures realize Delhi’s dependence on electricity spikes and times.

In the Age of Empires IV, players may take control of the Delhi Sultanate, an Asian civilization. The Delhi Sultanate civilization is at the forefront of technological advancement. They have an intense concentration on research and defense, with an advantage in technical growth over other civilizations. In Age of Empires IV, the Delhi Sultanate civilization is based on the great kingdom founded by the invasion of the Ghurid Dynasty (originating in Persia) into northern India during 879-1526 CE.

For 300 years, this kingdom developed an autonomous Indo-Islamic territory, embracing technologies available in India. As you go through the ages, you’ll learn about the fascinating past of this civilization. With a focus on the Farsi/Persian-speaking Delhi Sultanate civilization, you’ll experience the Mamluk and Khalji dynasty, the Tughlaq dynasty, and the Sayyid and Lodi dynasties throughout your time in the First Age of the civilization.

Strategic choices in the early Ages of the match are vital for the Delhi Sultanate civilization, which emerges as a dominant power in the late game. The War Elephant, the backbone of the Delhi Sultanate army, is a combat unit of startling sheer power and damage potential.

Unique units	Scholar, War Elephant, Tower Elephant.
Landmarks	Tower of Victory/Dome of the Faith, Compound of the Defender/House of Learning, Hisar Academy/Palace of the Sultan.
Unique building	Mosque.

The C rank of the AOE 4 Tier List is the first category that I would say has bad civilizations, and it’s only going downhill from here.
