Challenges
This page shows the player statistics on playable challenges such as Art of War (Base game), Historic Battles (Knights of Cross and Rose DLC) and The Crucible (Dynasties of the East DLC).
Not all records are known by aoe4world, the number of players displayed do not represent the total number of players that played these challenges.
Stats are updated when a player plays an observable multiplayer/custom match, but may take 5 minutes to show up. If you're logged in, press 'Refresh Stats' on your profile page.
We know that a bunch of the global records are cheated. We periodically hide the ones we confirm are cheated, but otherwise there's little we can do about it at this time. Please don't go witchhunting.
