Age of Empires 4- How to Pay Tribute
Paying tribute is an important thing you should not miss while playing Age of Empires 4. To give a tribute means sending resources to other players. You need to meet the criteria to send tribute to other players-
- You must be at Feudal age
- You should not be hostile towards them
- You must have built a market.
If you meet all these above criteria then you’ll be eligible to give tribute to other players. Below we’ll tell you the process of paying tribute in details
- Tribute Menu is available in both Single-Player and multiplayer modes.
- You’ll find the Tribute button on the top right corner of your screen.
- It doesn’t always appear because every mission doesn’t need tribute to pay. But if the mission involves tribute, you’ll find the button at the same place every time.
- Once you click on the button, another menu will be open up. There you’ll find the names of the other players.
- Next to the player’s name, you’ll find four icons indicating four resources- wood, stone, food, and gold.
- Left-click on those icons to add up to 100 units. You can decrease the amount by right-clicking on them.
- Once you decide the amount you want to send, press the ‘Send’ button to send it to them.
It is important to note that you need to match all the criteria mentioned above to send tribute. It is prominent from the criteria that you can only send tributes to your friends and not to your enemies. The scenario of the mission decides who you can send tribute to. Therefore, don’t worry about the criteria.
In the Second Norman Conquest mission and the second Rise of Moscow mission, you need to pay tributes to the Vikings and to the Golden Hordes respectively to protect yourself from them. These two tributes are the crucial part of the game, otherwise, they will attack you with a powerful army. Therefore, don’t miss these two tributes.
