| —In-game description | ||
Principality of Antioch is an Age-up technology for the Knights Templar in Age of Empires IV: Knights of Cross and Rose that can be researched at the Town Center in the Dark Age as part of the Commanderie system. It advances the player to the Feudal Age and enables the Serjeant. Additionally, it increases the damage of melee units by +15%.
Strategy[]
While not specifically favoring a defensive or offensive strategy as much as the other Feudal commanderie options, choosing the Principality of Antioch can be forward-looking, as it eventually provides the most powerful heavy infantry and melee cavalry in the late game, increasing their cost efficiency. Additionally, due to their unique ranged melee attack, Serjeants can sometimes be troublesome to an unprepared opponent. They are especially effective at destroying siege engines from afar.
