Age of Empires 4 - what's new in season 2?
The most important attraction, which will appear in the second season, is an additional map called The Pit. Another important new feature is the ability to choose the color of your units (randomly or by preference), which will be visible during gameplay and on the minimap during single and multiplayer battles. This also applies to regular and ranked online matches.
Going further, with the update it will be possible to customize key bindings.. At the same time, the developers have worked on the clarity of the menu dedicated to these options.
The developers have also created a system that will enable us to determine our favorite maps and search for games based on them. This will be its first version, so we can expect possible improvements over time. The developers also announce that with the start of the second season they will publish an FAQ.
