Learn about the Babylonian military in Age of Empires IV, including their use of chariots, cavalry, and siege tactics against Assyrian cities.

Little is known about the Babylonian military during the Old or New Empires in Age of Empires IV. Hammurabi's army from the Old Empire may have made significant use of chariots during their early development.

Armies of the New Empire in Age of Empires IV probably adopted many practices from the Assyrians. This suggests extensive use of cavalry, especially mounted bowmen. Foot soldiers likely employed iron weapons, iron helmets, and some chain mail armor.

The Babylonians, along with their less advanced allies, the Medes, successfully captured three heavily fortified Assyrian cities in quick succession. This indicates they had mastered Assyrian techniques for storming fortified locations.
