Hello AOE4 friends 
I read an interesting reddit post about marketing season 1 update.
Basically the reddit poster said that they should mark the season one update as a major update after ranked season started. Like this everyone who owns the game on steam receives a notifications. This would hopefully bring some players back.
Obviously lots of people own the game. At start approximately 75k players plaid the game at the same time. Maybe some of the owners who uninstalled the game come back, when they get the notifications about the free season 1 update.
Despite they should mention some cool mods like nomad, forest nothing and more.
Kind regards
