Hello, Age IV community! We delivered what we thought would be our final patch of the year on November 19th, and then your diligent eyes spotted a bug. We’ve wrapped up one final gift as part of this year’s Season’s Feast, and today’s hotfix brings with it a quick Malians bug fix heading into the holidays.
- Fixed an issue with the Malian Mansa Javelineer’s Farimba unlock being available at the Archery Range in Feudal Age.
Thanks again to our amazing community members, all of whom have helped to make Age of Empires what it is today!
