Templars and House of Lancaster will soon appear in Age of Empires IV: strategy authors announced DLC Knights of Cross and Rose
The authors of the popular strategy Age of Empires IV announced a new major DLC Knights of Cross and Rose.
Here's What We Know
In Knights of Cross and Rose developers will add two powerful factions of medieval Europe - Knights Templar and House of Lancaster.
As in real history, the Templars rely not only on military strength, but also on a wide representation in most kingdoms and great economic power. They have allies everywhere, so playing as Templars gamers will constantly get new bonuses. In addition, the Templars have a huge number of impregnable fortresses, which makes the war with them difficult and very costly.
As for the House of Lancaster, this British dynasty relies on small units of mobile archers, which are distributed across the battlefield and quickly destroy infantry. This faction has a unique Manor building that speeds up the acquisition of valuable resources.
In Knights of Cross and Rose the developers will add ten new maps for multiplayer and "Battle" mode, as well as a new single-player mode "Historical Battles", in which there will not be the usual emphasis on real events, it will be small scenarios that will allow you to find out which side would be stronger in this or that situation.
When We Can Expect It
The Knights of Cross and Rose DLC will be released before the end of spring.
