What it is

AoE4Guides is a free web service for finding, creating, and sharing Age of Empires IV build orders. Its browser lets you filter builds by civilization, video creator, season, map, strategy, and patch or version, then sort the results. Each build includes a timeline marking the Feudal, Castle, and Imperial ages, plus an Economy view showing villager assignments. You can save liked builds to favorites and open the current build in a floating Build Order Overlay. The site says that overlay currently supports Chrome and Edge, and it also provides an RTS Overlay export. AoE4Guides invites users to contribute their own builds. All content remains available without payment; listed voluntary support options are €2,510, paid once and €2,510 a month. The site says hosting, domain, and storage cost about €100 a year, paid out of pocket. It states that collected personal information is used to provide and improve the service, and that it is not affiliated with Microsoft.
