Age of Empires IV:
THE KINGDOM OF BENIN

The Obas of Benin ruled over a small but powerful empire nestled within the protective boundaries of the Guinean rainforest. They are known for their large network of earthwork defenses, powerful infantry, and magnificent bronze work. In AOEIV, the Malian faction includes a number of units inspired by the military of the Guinean Coast, including the Javelin Thrower, the Sofa, the Musofadi Warrior, and the Musofadi Gunner. In this concept, the Beninese are centered around the god-king "Oba" unit, which provides an aura that boosts both economy and military. Additionally, they have special stone walls known as "Iya" that are easily spammable.
