What Age of Plan 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. The library lets users browse, search, filter builds by civilization, and sort them. 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. A standalone overlay can run on a second monitor or phone and move through steps on a timer or by manual navigation. Builds are stored in browser localStorage, and the project says the app works offline without a backend, telemetry, account, or sign-up. Light and dark themes and adjustable font size are saved and synced across windows. Age of Plan is released under the MIT License and is an unofficial fan project unaffiliated with or endorsed by Microsoft or Relic Entertainment.
