Patch 13.0.4343
We have heard your feedback regarding the variant civilizations released with Age of Empires IV – Knights of Cross and Rose. It seems that the House of Lancaster hit the battlefield with a little too much muscle, so we are scaling back their power in today’s patch to get them to a more balanced state. We are also adjusting some of the Knights Templar’s numbers to redistribute their power more fairly.
