I'm a casual player, and I find BG mode more fun than ranked. I don't like knights excessively killing villagers

Personal Thoughts: I really miss my earlier Age of Empires IV gaming experiences. Back then, 4v4 matches would often last an hour, especially with those epic late-game unit clashes. You rarely see those grand war scenes anymore nowadays.

That’s why I can only play BG mode now. It has very successfully filled that void for exciting gameplay.

**I still remember, ranked 4v4 used to be more fun than BG mode (even though most matches ended in early Imperial Age back then), but 4v4 doesn’t have that feeling anymore.

I really miss the Age of Empires IV from two years ago!**
