Expilatores is a unique technology in Age of Empires IV: The Sultans Ascend available to the Byzantines that can be researched starting in the Feudal Age. It increases the attack bonus of the Horseman vs. workers by +2, and yields +20 gold whenever they kill a Villager or Trader.

When researched at a Stable within the influence of a Cistern with the Dialecticus ability active, the research speed of this technology is 30% faster per water level at the Cistern.

Trivia[]

  • Expilatores is a Latin word which meant "robber" or "plunderer", but it was used to define a type of mounted scout or light raider in the Byzantine army. A similar description is given to Trapezites.

Changelog[]

  • While the technology description states that only Horsemen are affected, prior to update 10.0.576, it also affected Sipahis and Camel Riders, although Camel Riders did not receive the bonus damage vs workers.
