Learn about the Age of Empires IV Assyrian economy, based on agriculture, herding, and taxes from provinces and vassal states.

The foundation of the Assyrian economy rested on agriculture and herding. However, their strategic location along important trade routes also provided significant benefits. While not primarily remembered as traders themselves, they likely profited as tax collectors on merchants passing through their lands.

During the New Empire period, the Assyrians amassed wealth through the collection of taxes and tribute from their diverse provinces and vassal states. This included substantial revenue from regions such as Egypt, which they controlled for a period of several years.
