AGE OF EMPIRES IV
CIVILISATION MATCHUPS
YOUR CIV
OPPONENT
House of LancasterHouse of Lancaster generates passive income through Manors while establishing keeps that spawn free heavy infantry with cumulative damage bonuses, scaling into a late-game army of heavily armored cavalry and elite soldiers whose durability and unit production chains compound with each keep, creating overwhelming staying power through accumulated armor and sustained presence.
Matchup advice4 TIPS
It's always difficult trading up against Yeomen with your normal archers because they move so much quicker.
Out of every men-at-arms variant in the game, I think Earl's Guard should technically be the best ones against knights, especially from an age ahead. With those you just need to kite back and not wait too long before the next dagger is ready.
Synchronized Shot (Yeoman ability) is effective against clumped groups of French archers.
Without Essence of the King, demilancers don't pack the punch needed against French knights.
