Knights & Guns + Yuzu Emu for PC

Age of Empires IV: Knights of Cross and Rose expands the medieval strategy experience by introducing two historically inspired variant civilizations: the Knights Templar and the House of Lancaster. Building upon the foundations of the French and English factions, these new armies bring distinct units, mechanics, and tactical possibilities to the battlefield. The Knights Templar combine European military traditions with the valor of crusader forces, offering a versatile and resilient fighting force. Meanwhile, the House of Lancaster draws from the turmoil of the War of the Roses, emphasizing strong ranged combat and a thriving economy that enables advanced technological advantages rarely seen in medieval Europe. These additions deepen the strategic variety available to players, whether in single-player or multiplayer modes. The DLC also features a new Historical Battles mode, where players can relive pivotal moments such as the Battle of Montgisard and the aftermath of Towton, each mission providing unique challenges and the opportunity to refine strategies through repeat play and an optional Conqueror Mode. Beyond these scenarios, Knights of Cross and Rose introduces ten new maps that span diverse terrains—from verdant countrysides to harsh battlegrounds—encouraging adaptable tactics and fresh competitive experiences. Together, these elements offer both newcomers and longtime fans an engaging blend of rich storytelling, immersive gameplay, and expanded strategic depth, reinforcing Age of Empires IV’s reputation as a dynamic and evolving real-time strategy title.
