To improve Age of Empires IV, please add a feature that includes leveling for heroes and units, similar to the Nemesis of the Holy Roman Empire.
Implement a system where heroes share levels with their units and possess unique abilities.
- Additionally, include an “AI Takeover” toggle for multiplayer that allows villagers to automatically build necessary resource drop-off buildings and relocate to the next available treeline once their current one is exhausted.
(Provide a toggle that allows players to enable or disable these options, even in multiplayer mode.)

please no, nobody needs hero Units in this Game and its not an RPG.
- AI Takeover –> almost already exist for controller (Console) Player
–> could be a good Idea for PC Player (at least as a checkbox for activating)

Maybe for a new “Game Mode”*, a Hero game mode for each civ could be entertaining.
But for normal gameplay, please not. When JeanneDArc was released, people complains that they didn’t want to play with RPG heroes in an RTS, especially in Ranked multiplayer, because it would give an unfair advantage to other civilizations without heroes.
In fact, what inspired the first MOBAs like Starcraft, “Aeon of Something,” and Warcraft, DOTA, were the campaign heroes and skill mechanics, which were too cool to exist only in single-player. For a MOBA version of AoE4, it would first be good to have enough campaigns and heroes in the Editor to make it possible.
The Crucible mode helps a lot in that regard.

Agree with the others, please keep individualized hero units out the game.

No, putting heros is not a good idea.

I would say the concept of a “Hero” unit has really taken off in the game already. While initially you had the khan and English king and then Jean d’arc it really opened the door for the golden hordes Khan and house of Lancaster lords. All those units are buff units..they can act on their own in some way but really they work best leading the charge or supporting their army with a buff. I could see them continue that trend with nearly all civs in some way to give it a unique hero unit that buffs their army in some fashion.
To add on a few other examples: the sengoki daimyo unit that also buffs and then the Macedonian Dynasty champions I would also say fall in that hero category. Actually of all the new civs in the last dlc tughlaq and knights templar were the only ones with out an optional hero type unit as an option.. so only 2 of the 6 don’t have a hero unit.
No thank you. We do not want this.
