About the Game

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

Triumph Studios' celebrated and award-winning strategy franchise has stepped boldly into a new era, elevating its iconic pillars of empire building, role-playing, and large-scale warfare to greater heights than ever before. A revamped narrative event system paired with deeply customizable factions delivers a virtually limitless replay experience, where every session contributes a fresh chapter to your ever-expanding legend.

Mighty Wizard Kings have made their long-awaited return to the realms, ascending to rule as divine figures among ordinary mortals. Seize and harness the ancient Tomes of Magic to shape and evolve your people, then brace for a monumental struggle that will determine the fate of all ages to come.

  • Design your followers by blending physical forms, cultural traits, and arcane abilities together. Forge anything from a tribe of cannibal halflings to ethereal moon elves, or breathe life into your most beloved fantasy archetypes

  • Hunt down powerful tomes of magic to enchant your forces and transform your civilization! Watch your people visibly evolve as they shift into radiant angelic beings or twisted scions of chaos, ready to face whatever foes await them

  • Pursue greatness through ruthless conquest, shrewd diplomacy, or the mastery of ultimate arcane wisdom, and etch your legacy permanently into the very foundation of the realm!

  • Each decision you make unlocks new possibilities and strategic advantages; rich, multi-layered gameplay encourages you to experiment with fresh tactics or discover new powers at every opportunity

  • Tactical turn-based combat brings your armies vividly to life, putting their full strength on display across battlefields shaped directly by your choices. From skirmishes against wandering monsters to colossal sieges featuring dozens of units per side, and further enriched by a brand-new morale system and additional mechanics, no two battles ever feel the same

  • An extraordinary variety of empires, units, and environments ensures the game remains endlessly replayable. Age of Wonders 4 offers the deepest modding support and most open-ended experience in the entire history of the series

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

  • An all-new event system introduces unprecedented depths of storytelling to the 4X genre. Watch your choices ripple outward to reshape the world around you, influencing everything from the growth of your cities and the movements of armies to sweeping, reality-altering magical phenomena

  • Steer your empire toward ultimate glory — yet the narrative continues long after victory or defeat! Elevate your rulers into an in-game pantheon to unlock additional customization options for future runs. Encounter the very factions you previously created as rivals or potential allies, and carry your personal story forward into each new chapter!

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
