About the Game

Command a fantasy kingdom entirely of your own making in Age of Wonders 4! Venture into uncharted magical worlds through Age of Wonders' celebrated fusion of 4X strategy and turn-based tactical warfare. Lead a faction that evolves and transforms alongside your growing empire with every passing turn.

Triumph Studios' critically acclaimed strategy franchise has stepped boldly into a new era, elevating the series' hallmark empire construction, role-playing depth, and large-scale warfare to unprecedented heights. An innovative storytelling event system paired with extensively customizable empires delivers a ceaselessly replayable experience, where every session contributes a fresh chapter to your ever-expanding legend.

Formidable Wizard Kings have made their triumphant return to the realms, ascending to rule as divine figures among ordinary mortals. Seize and harness the Tomes of Magic to transform your civilization, and steel yourself for an earth-shattering conflict that will shape the destiny of all ages ahead.

  • Shape your followers by blending physical forms, cultural traits, and mystical abilities together. Construct anything from a tribe of cannibalistic halflings to ethereal moon elves, or breathe new life into your most beloved fantasy archetypes

  • Pursue mighty tomes of magic to strengthen your armies and reshape your people! Watch your civilization visibly transform as they ascend into angelic forms or descend into chaos-born warriors ready to confront their foes.

  • Pursue glory through ruthless conquest, shrewd diplomacy, or supreme mastery of the arcane arts, and etch your legacy permanently into the very foundation of the realm!

  • Each decision you make unlocks fresh possibilities and new tactical edges; rich, multi-layered strategy invites you to experiment with different approaches and discover new abilities at every turn

  • Turn-based tactical combat breathes life into your armies, putting their full strength on display across a battlefield sculpted by your choices. From clashes with wandering beasts to massive sieges featuring dozens of units per side, complete with an integrated morale system and additional features, no two battles ever feel alike

  • Sweeping variety across empires, units, and environments ensures the game remains infinitely replayable. Age of Wonders offers greater modding support and open-ended gameplay than at any previous point in the franchise

  • Discover a brand-new realm with every playthrough — or forge one entirely from scratch! Take on diverse combinations of settings and features, ranging from frost-covered wastelands lorded over by ice queens to crumbling ancient ruins prowled by fearsome dragons

  • A groundbreaking event system introduces remarkable storytelling depth previously unseen in 4X games. Watch your choices ripple across the world around you, from flourishing cities and marching armies to reality-altering magical phenomena

  • Steer your empire toward ultimate greatness — yet the tale continues beyond victory or defeat! Elevate your rulers into an in-game pantheon and unlock additional ways to personalize your experience. Encounter your own past creations as potential rivals or allies in future campaigns, and discover the next thrilling chapter of your personal saga!

There is just going to be too much DLC creep soon, and buying in is going to be harder and harder even with editions that comes with the DLC that is already years old. I want to recommend this game because I love it and

I want to like this game, but too many core elements don't work. RPG hero elements, but the combat is complete ass. Interesting civilization management, but the AI is balanced via lazy-af cheat multipliers. Multiplayer,

This is a mediocre game. It was "OK". After fully exploring it, I'm left feeling that if I never played it, I wouldn't be missing anything. Too much DLC, and even on sale isn't worth the price. The whole game loop is

Great TBS game. The only downside I'd caution people of, is that the game loads all its content during startup. With all the DLCs this means it can take a minute or two to load sometimes. Other than that the game is

Buy this game on sale, definitely not worth the full price. My main issue is that everything in this game is kinda fluff. -You can customize your specie with spells!... not really, you'll just pick whatever tech you
