How To Get A Monk In Age of Empires 4

Monks are valuable religious units in Age of Empires 4 that can heal your army and convert enemy units. This guide will walk you through the simple steps needed to recruit your first monk, regardless of which faction you’re playing.

Prerequisites: Reaching Castle Age

The first requirement to unlock monks is advancing to Castle Age, also known as Age 3. You’ll need to gather sufficient resources and complete the age advancement through your Town Center or equivalent structure. Once you’ve reached Castle Age, you’ll gain access to religious buildings.

Building a Monastery

After reaching Castle Age, you need to construct a monastery—or whatever religious building your faction uses. Different civilizations have different names for their religious structures. For example, the Chinese faction builds a Monastery to train monks.

Training Your First Monk

Once your monastery is built, click on the building to select it. The unit production menu will appear at the bottom of your screen, displaying available units you can train from this structure. You’ll see the Monk unit listed in this menu.

Simply click on the Monk unit icon to begin training. Your monastery will now produce a monk, and once the training completes, you’ll have your first monk ready for deployment.

Conclusion

Getting a monk in Age of Empires 4 is straightforward: reach Castle Age (Age 3), build a monastery, and click the monk unit from the production menu. Now you’re ready to heal your units and expand your strategic options in combat.
