Age of Empires IV: The Abbasid Dynasty

The Abbasid Dynasty is an adaptive civilization with the ability to upgrade through research instead of villager construction allowing you to expand your empire quickly. With this advantage, you can continue gathering resources, construct buildings, or perform other tasks allowing uninterrupted growth. Keep an eye out for Camel Archers and Camel Riders, which serve as unique anti-cavalry cavalry units.

Amazing features. Thank you Relic Entertainment for making it actually unique and kind of realistic. But it would be more accurate to call it *The Abbasid Caliphate* instead of Dynasty. If you change it, that would be more epic from you.

@Lycanthrope You are right. It is not a big deal anyways. I think they represented the Abbasid Caliphate beautifully and as practical as possible for a fair game. The units, the House of Wisdom, and dietary changes, the architecture, the units' voices...etc. Unlike how Ensemble Studios did in AOE2, where they unjustly and criminally called the Arabic and early Islamic civilizations "Saracens". They messed up the history in that game so badly and so disrespectfully. While here now, it is much more accurate.

[@annaairahala9462]

@@adamjohnsonstudio7910 Only 2 civs have a form of horse archers, being Mongols and the Rus. Mongols make sense because they revolutionized horse archery, the Rus also make sense but in way that's harder to describe that isn't as strong as the Mongol's reason. I tried finding information on if the abassids employed horse archers specifically and I haven't found much. It's likely they would have had some at some point, but if they were they were never used much. I did find "Camel archers" were a thing, but they seem to have been more uncommon and it sounds like actual camel archers would dismount before firing. The actual camel melee warfare is fairly accurate though as many in the Arabian area would use camels for the additional height, additional maneuverability, better resistance to the elements, and natural counter to enemy horses, although once again dismounting the camel to fight was also quite common. Later on after aoe4 time period, they would once again see a rise in use for some time because of their fearlessness as they were one of the few animals to not freak out at gunfire. Horse archers weren't exactly the best units like aoe2 might make you believe, so it does make sense to me why not many civs have them. If there would be an inaccuracy I'd point out is that it's probably more realistic to just not even have a camel archer unit, but having camel archers still seems to me like a decent gameplay decision if you also consider how much more inaccurate it would be to give everyone viable horse archers

I love the fact that they cannot hunt or gather boars. It's like a small detail that shows the dedication they put in this game. I really hope the game is the next big thing in the RTS scenario...

Interesting

[@Bassario]

You forgot "AND get completely and utterly smashed by springalds" when talking about all the amazing things the camels can do lmao.

[@Mocktailmetal]

Hmm ''can't hunt boar''! I guess, Hoang from age of empire 2 pro players won't be enjoying playing against this dynasty

[@alifmahmud5244]

Where can I find abbasid caliphate? In my game there's only rus/norman/english/mongol

[@edishasora5200]

It makes me love microsoft more!!!!! From Minecraft to AoE, Microsoft you are the BEST !!!!!!!!!!

[@ksrniceguy8754]

Graphic is good ~ very nice game~~ AGE OF EMPIRE4~~

[@DestructoMonkey]

Funny how the Abbasid camels are a counter to horses, which means the Abbasids are a soft counter to the Mongols, when it was the Mongols that largely reduced the Abbasids to ruin historically

[@Makofueled]

This part of history isn't my forté, is it correct to say that Mamluk dynasties controlled both Abassid and Dehli land at similar times here?

[@mohammedmessaoudi2882]

I hope we can see Andalusia sultanat & Umayyad Empire ( offensive empire )

[@Cplusplus745]

Attention to muslim culture that is no pork was much appreciated. And alao the game tends to look more and more photorealistic. I like it.

A camel, catching a fleeing horse?! makes no sense... Maybe a poney but not a horse
