, and more!
Among the future content available is an adrenaline-charged hands-on preview of two new civilizations – the Malians and the Ottomans.
The Malians focus on strong economic play and strategic hit-and-run tactics. This civilization will play best for those that enjoy ambush or hit-and-run style combat while leveraging influence and economic prowess.

- The Ottomans benefit strongly from their military prowess, as well as their Imperial Council and Military School systems.

- Eight new maps
- A sneak peek of Taunts and Cheats
- Team Ranked functionality
- Updates to Naval balance
- …and more, including additional balance changes and quality of life improvements!
