Each story is about eight missions each, and every mission is interspersed with high-quality narrated cutscenes that merge dramatization and animation and are quite fascinating. Age of Empires IV spans 500 years, from the Dark Ages to the Renaissance, and features eight factions over four campaigns: The 1066 Battle of Hastings, the Hundred Years War, the Mongol Invasions, and the Birth of Moscow. Relic Entertainment picks up the reins this time, and they are no strangers to the real-time strategy genre, having previously brought us award-winning titles such as Homeworld and Company of Heroes.
