To dominate the battlefield inAge of Empires 4, players need to carefully execute their strategy. This is important to be done even from the early game. For example, some Civilizations can survive the early game without certain resources. While some others desperately need everything.

In each match,Age of Empires 4players have to raid the map to find the source for important resources. In the end-game, they will even find themselves fighting for a Gold Mine, as Gold will be the most important commodity. Luckily, some Civilizations don’t have to join this savagery, as they’re able to thrive simply by having unique Technologies and playstyles.
Abbasids Dynasty
The Abbasids' end-game goal is reaching theGolden Age. The Age has three tiers, and each can be unlocked by building structures and Landmarks inside the influence of theHouse Of Wisdom. Building 10, 30, and 60 buildings will grant these buffs, respectively:
House of Wisdom is agreat Landmark for the Abbasids. It makes sense why it’s the only Landmark they can construct. With each Wing upgrade, the Civilization gains a more solid ground to support their dominance. The amount of unique buffs and advantages this Landmark gives is incredible, such as:
Rus
One of the main ways Rus can earn resources is by upgrading theirTotal Bounties Accumulated. Similar to the Abbasids’ Golden Age, The Rus rank their tiers up when hunting down animals (this also improves their income). With 100, 250, and 500 accumulated Bounties, the Rus will Generate Gold faster from Hunting Cabins. They also unlock the following buffs:
The Rus can build theirHunting Cabinsaround trees, and it will generate Gold passively (based on the number of trees in its perimeter).The Golden GateLandmark, built to reachFeudal Age, is a place where players can visit every few minutes to exchange resources at a very favorable price. Moreover, when advancing to theCastle Age, the Rus can build theHigh Trade HouseLandmark. It acts as a Hunting Cabin with a Deer Spawning every minute. The building also generates 200% more Gold from trees.
Mongols
Saying Mongols can be deadly at the start of the match is common knowledge. But, saying Mongols can generate so much Gold that they don’t even need, is not.The Mongols can plunder Food and Goldfrom every structure they destroy, giving them the urge to keep raiding enemies. This ability can be upgraded with theirOvoo. It allows Mongolsto plunder more Food, Gold, and even Stone.

The Silver Treecan be built to advance to Feudal Age. The Landmark acts as aMarket,and recruiting Traders becomes 50% faster and cheaper. Not only that, but providing coverage ofOutpostsalong the Traders' way can grant them theYam Speedbonus. It will greatly improve their Gold productivity.
Furthermore,Stepe Redoubtis another Landmark built to advance to the Castle Age. Itacts as aGerand increases Golddropped inside it by 50%. Lastly, their last Landmark,The White Stupa,passively generates Stone without being nearStone Outcropping.
