[h2]New Event and Game Mode[/h2]
Plant your flag into the battlefield and look down upon your enemies in Season Ten’s second event, Conquest! This event also introduces the (aptly named) Conqueror’s Cache game mode, where players will fight for dominance by seizing capture points across the map (details below). Guard your treasures and trophies with unwavering pride – after all, if you can’t have them, no one can - starts April 29th!

[h3]New Game Mode: Conqueror’s Cache[/h3]
Battle for control in Season Ten’s new game mode! Fight for control over the Conqueror’s Cache and the Conqueror’s bounty. The longer you hold one, the more you’ll be rewarded! Over time, the hill will upgrade and provide stronger and more devastating rewards to unleash on your opposition. Be careful not to lose your hold on the cache, as having to take the point again will mean you’ll need to build up the hill’s level.

Released in 2023, The Sultans Ascend DLC pack for Age of Empires 4 adds a new campaign and two new civilizations. It's a significant expansion for Relic and company's beloved strategy game, and well worth the price. Knights of Cross and Rose is arguably not so substantive. The latest AoE 4 DLC introduces two new armies, ten maps, and four historically based missions - but not a full campaign, and no extra civilizations. Costing the same as The Sultans Ascend, Knights of Cross and Rose has earned criticism from some AoE 4 players owing to a perceived shortage of fresh material. With Steam reviews now officially 'mixed,' Relic and fellow development teams Climax, World's Edge, and Forgotten Empires have shipped a new Age of Empires 4 patch in an effort to correct the course.
