The Tank is strong against most vehicles, but ineffective in fighting infantry units.

Unique units

• The Germans build Tiger Tank instead of Tank.

Trivia

• The Tank uses five different models:
  • Panzer IV for the Romans and Spanish (and Germans if unique units are disabled).
  • Type 97 Chi-Ha for the Japanese.
  • T-34 for the Chinese, Mongols and Russians.
  • Churchill for the British, Dutch, Egyptians, French, Greeks, Indians, Iroquois, Lakota and Persians. (The Egyptians use a desert version of the tank.)
  • M4 Sherman for the Americans, Aztecs, Bantu, Inca, Koreans, Maya, Nubians and Turks. (The Bantu and Nubians use a desert version of the tank.)
