Expand Your Legacy. Explore the Unknown. Step into a bold new chapter of Age of Empires IV with Dynasties of the East—an exciting new expansion introducing four variant civilizations with unique gameplay mechanics and a new singleplayer game mode that will redefine the way you play Age of Empires IV. Dynasties of the East brings with it 8 unique maps and 6 stunning biomes that will add to your experience in single-player and multiplayer matches.   Four Civilizations Inspired by History Command the battlefield and employ new gameplay strategies with variant civilizations that bring with them unique units and technology inspired by well-known Eastern Dynasties. • The Golden Horde (Mongols Variant) – Ditch nomadic complexity for a powerful centralized force led by a combat-hardened Khan and his elite guard. Build multiple Ovoos, amass large armies and make critical strategic decisions from the seat of the Khan, the Golden Tent. Gather your forces and prepare for a glorious charge into battle. • The Macedonian Dynasty (Byzantines Variant) – Command a force of powerful and foreign-born warriors known as the Varangians and charge into battle as the Macedonian Dynasty. Ruled by Emperor Basil II at the height of its power, this variant civilization brings with it unique resources and technologies focused on rapid growth and conquest. Fortified by a rich economy, the Macedonian Dynasty produces and trades in Silver to strengthen their forces.  • Sengoku Daimyo (Japanese Variant) – Rewrite your clan’s destiny in the fractured Sengoku era. Pledge allegiance to rival banners—Takeda, Oda, or Hojo—each offering distinct bonuses, units, and technologies. Customize your civilization’s progression by dedicating Daimyo Estates to fuel factional power and strategic depth. • The Tughlaq Dynasty (Delhi Sultanate Variant) – Take charge of this large and long-reigning dynasty built through astute political rule. Appoint powerful governors who bring their own adept craft to the table with the brand-new Governorship system.  Varied in battlefield strategies, the Tughlaq Dynasty brings with it two new elephant units: strengthen your economy with the Worker Elephant and engage in a new way to siege with the Ballista Elephant. Each civilization included in Dynasties of the East brings with them distinct strengths, strategies, and historical flavor—offering new ways to master the art of war.
