Hi Age of Empires IV community! We have heard your feedback regarding the variant civilizations released with Age of Empires IV – Knights of Cross and Rose. It seems that the House of Lancaster hit the battlefield with a little too much muscle, so we are scaling back their power in today’s patch to get them to a more balanced state. We are also adjusting some of the Knights Templar’s numbers to redistribute their power more fairly.
We truly appreciate all your feedback—while we anticipate these tweaks will get things where we want them to be, we will continue to monitor player feedback and balance suggestions as the ranked season progresses!
