Learn about Assyrian architecture in Age of Empires IV, including building materials like mud bricks and stone, and decorative elements like Lamassu.

Assyrians in Age of Empires IV built on a large and lavish scale. Their primary building material was mud bricks, supplemented by stone that was more readily available than in regions further south. Kings of the New Empire era constructed extensive palaces, which were adorned with the spoils of war and tribute collected from vassal states. These palaces also featured painted stone reliefs, expansive gardens, and man-made streams.

A common decorative fixture found in Assyrian architecture was the LAMASSU, depicted as a winged hybrid creature combining features of a bull and a man.
