Age of Empires IV – Season Eight Update 11.0.782
Hello, and welcome to Season Eight, where we’re celebrating warm weather and good friends, as well as preparing for the return of our Map Monsters, the Wild Man and Dragon Turtle! This update arriving July 18th brings with it Ranked Season Eight with a new map pool, as well as a new mini event, “Summer Sights.”
Balance changes and bug fixes also arrive with this update, however given our proximity to the exciting Red Bull: El Reinado qualifiers, we’ve made a slight adjustment to our typical planning and will be rolling out more major changes to the meta mid-season with a patch planned for mid-to-late August. You can read more on this update, as well as future plans for Season Eight and beyond below!

[h3]Design Rework: Attack Move[/h3]
We’ve made an adjustment to the default Attack Move behavior, designed to help prevent accidental mis-clicks. On PC, this can be changed back by setting the Attack Move Behavior setting under Game options to “Legacy.” Check out the full details of this rework below.
