Age of Empires IV
About Age of Empires IV
Age of Empires IV is Relic Entertainment's continuation of the classic real-time strategy (RTS) series. Players choose from eight different civilizations (the English, the Mongols, the Chinese, the Abbasids, and other historical powers), managing resource gathering, base building, and army management to defeat rival civilizations. While preserving the classic Age of Empires formula (villager micro-management, technology tree progression), the series offers a modern touch with improved graphics and unique playstyles specific to each civilization (like the Mongols' mobile bases). Its competitive multiplayer scene has significantly contributed to reviving interest in the classic RTS genre.

How can I get more FPS in Age of Empires IV?
Strategy and simulation games are mostly CPU- and RAM-bound in the late game, so lower unit or population detail, shadow quality and simulation-heavy effects before touching resolution. Age of Empires IV recommends 16 GB of RAM, so check your memory before changing any other setting. Keep your graphics card drivers up to date, lower a few graphics settings (shadows, reflections, draw distance), close unnecessary background apps, and try disabling V-Sync.
