Nomad Megarandom 101 - Age of Empires IV

by Team Respawn · ~6 min read

Nomad Megarandom is one of Age of Empires IV's most chaotic custom modes — you get a random civilization on a random map and must find a good spot for your first Town Center before you can build a real economy. This guide is aimed at players who have finished the tutorial but have not tried Nomad yet.

Watch the video above for a full walkthrough of scouting, TC placement, villager priorities, and how Megarandom map rules change your opening. The written notes on this page stay short for now; use the video as the primary reference.
