Check out this fan-made spreadsheet with detailed Age of Empires IV unit stats

We're less than a month away from the launch of upcoming RTS game Age of Empires IV, although gamers were treated to an initial taste during the recent open beta a few weeks ago. For our part, we quite enjoyed what was on offer, and we look forward to getting our hands on the full game at the end of the month.

In the meantime, fans are not sitting idle, and one industrious player - TurnSpender - has pulled together their own spreadsheet that offers minute detail on all of the units, buildings, techs, and pretty much anything else you could think of that was available during the recent stress test.
