Changelog[]
- Originally, Villages were only available in the Song Dynasty (Feudal Age dynasty). With the Season One Update, they are unlocked in the Tang Dynasty (Dark Age dynasty) and dynasty units and buildings once unlocked are not disabled when switching dynasties.
- Originally, Villages had 2,000 hit points, and cost 100 wood. With the Season One Update, they have 1,500 hit points, and cost 125 wood. With update 15.1.6970, the cost was reduced back to 100 wood.
- Originally, Villages could garrison 10 units. With Server-Side Patch 5.1.148.1, they can garrison 8.
Trivia[]
- The Village is based on Hakka walled villages (also known as Tulou).
- Villages have a base build time of 30 seconds, but in practice always have a build time of 15 seconds, because both civilizations that have access to it build non-defensive buildings 100% faster.
Campaign version[]
Although the Village is not obtainable in campaigns, because the campaigns have not been rebalanced since the release of the game, enemy Villages in The Mongol Empire have 2,000 hit points instead of 1,500.
