EDIT - Looks like I posted this video literally HOURS before they actually confirmed that the Byzantines are coming to AOE4 lol. It's awesome to see the devs also have an Aquaduct system with Cisterns. I'm hype. Check out my video of my analysis on the teaser screenshot: [ Ссылка ]
Hi I'm Chilly and I make fan concepts for AOEIV. The Byzantines are speculated to be coming in the new Sultans Ascend DLC for AOEIV so in this video I go deep into the history of the Empire and how I would design the faction.
Note - I don't include any naval stuff in my concepts.
Cover art is created using Midjourney + some Photoshopping by yours truly.
