The game needs to strengthen the early confrontation. Mongol lancers were not used in the early days, but needed to be upgraded when they were used in Age 2, costing more resources than other civilizations. Early game according to the fixed development route without the slightest forces against. Age 3 seems to be the focus of the game, because the swordsman comes in age 3. Why not introduce a new unit that can replace the swordsman at the beginning, one that can replace the swordsman without being restrained by archers? It’s too expensive to use a swordsman like British Era 1. Making swordsmen and lancers in age 1 meant spending too much food to get to the next age. So the early period focuses on the development era.
I suggest lowering the cost of building armies to facilitate light confrontations that are effective up front. It’s not. It’s built to stop the development of opposing bases. The scope of the game should be the entire map, not the protection of the town center.
In our Age of Empires series, age 1 had to build fences for defense, Age 2 had to build walls for defense, and Age 3 had to build castles for defense. Age of Empires IV has completely deviated from this gaming tradition. There is no need to build fences in Age of Empires iv, but fortifications directly into Age iii. No sense of the game’s history at all.
Earlier villagers had no choice but to eat mutton or build timber mills to gather berry bushes (individual races). The process of gathering these two resources is so boring. I suggest strengthening the hunting of the villagers in the early stage, as we all know that primitive people live by hunting. Human civilization developed from hunting to animal husbandry. Perhaps Age of Empires iv began with the animal husbandry era. The point of hunting is to get gold, not food.
The game is like Warcraft 3, with a fixed resource point or two. There is no fence. Expect to reinforce the importance of hedgerows in era 1. Age of Empires 4 is the age of Empires series.
游戏需要加强前期对抗。蒙古的长矛骑兵前期用不了，二时代2使用的时候却需要升级，比其他文明花费更多的资源。游戏前期按着固定的发展路线没有丝毫的兵力对抗。时代3仿佛才是游戏的重点，因为到了时代3才有剑士。为何前期不加入一种可以替代剑士的兵种，一种不被弓箭手克制又能够代替剑士的兵种？使用像英国时代1的剑士，成本却太贵了。在时代1制作剑士和长矛骑兵，就意味着花费大量的食物导致无法进入下一个时代。这样前期的就侧重于发展时代。
我建议降低打造军队的成本，来促进前期有效的轻微对抗。而不是， 打造军队是为了阻止对方基地的发展 。博弈的范围应该是整张地图，而不是城镇中心的保护范围。
我们的帝国时代系列游戏，应该是时代1必须建造篱笆来防御，时代2可以建造城墙来防御，时代3是建造城堡来防御。而帝国时代4已经完全偏离了这个游戏传统。 在帝国时代4里面无需建造篱笆，而是直接进入时代3之后建造城堡来防御。完全没有的游戏的历史感受。
而前期村民除了吃羊肉，或者花费木材建造磨坊来采集浆果丛（个别民族），没有别的选择。而这两种资源采集的过程如此地枯燥。我建议加强前期村民的狩猎，众所周知原始人都是狩猎为生。人类的文明是从狩猎发展到畜牧业。或许，帝国时代4是从畜牧业时代开始发展。那狩猎的意义是用来获取黄金，而不是食物。
游戏就像魔兽争霸3一样，固定的一两个资源点位。没有篱笆。期望加强时代1需要篱笆墙的重要性。这样的帝国时代4才是帝国时代系列游戏 。
