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 advice5 TIPS
Because House of Lancaster has healing at home (Abbey of Kings), consider picking the Ryokan landmark to match their sustain.
Against aggressive House of Lancaster, protect your Sake Brewery with defenses, or it will be shut down.
Against Hobalars, kiting with archers is ineffective; you need a melee unit to stop them.
Mounted samurai are one of the few units that can fight under the White Tower and survive for a while.
Hobelars perform well against archers (like Yumi Ashigaru) due to their high ranged armor.
