How To Pick Up Relics In Age of Empires 4

Relics are valuable resources in Age of Empires 4 that can provide significant bonuses to your civilization. Learning how to pick up relics is essential for any player looking to gain an economic or military advantage. This guide will walk you through the simple steps required to start collecting relics in your games.

Prerequisites: Reach Castle Age

The first requirement to pick up relics is to advance your civilization to Castle Age, also known as Age Three. Simply reaching this age is mandatory before you can interact with any relics, even if you’ve prepared the necessary units beforehand.

Build a Religious Landmark

Before you can advance to Castle Age, you need to construct a religious landmark in the Feudal Age (Age Two). Different civilizations have different religious units available to them. For example, the Sultanate civilization uses the Scholar as their religious unit.

Scholar Unit Abilities

The Scholar unit description states: “Can pick up relics, convert enemies and capture the sacred sites starting in castle age.” This confirms that even after building your religious landmark, you must still advance to Castle Age before these abilities become functional.

Pick Up Your First Relic

Once you’ve reached Castle Age and have your religious unit ready, navigate to a Sacred Site or relic location on the map. Simply right-click on the relic with your religious unit to pick it up. The unit will automatically collect it, and the relic will be added to your possession.

Summary

Picking up relics in Age of Empires 4 is straightforward once you understand the requirements. Remember: build a religious landmark in the Feudal Age, advance to Castle Age, and then right-click relics with your religious unit to collect them. With relics in your control, you’ll gain valuable bonuses that can help you secure victory.
