Age of Plan
What it is
Age of Plan is a free, open-source browser tool for creating, editing, importing, exporting, and following Age of Empires IV build orders. Its editor supports drag-and-drop steps, resource allocation, villager counts, timestamped notes, and unit-placement tags. A separate overlay can run on a second monitor or phone, advance through steps on a timer, or allow manual navigation. The build library supports browsing, searching, civilization filters, and sorting. Builds can be imported from the aoe4guides.com API, RTS_Overlay JSON, or native JSON, then exported as native or RTS_Overlay-compatible JSON. The project describes support for all 24 base civilizations and variants. Builds remain in browser localStorage, with no backend, telemetry, account, or sign-up requirement; the app works offline. Light and dark themes plus adjustable font size persist and sync across windows. Age of Plan is deployed as a static single-page app on Cloudflare Workers and released under the MIT License.
