Age of Wonders 4

Age of Wonders 4 is a turn-based strategy game with tactical battles. The player creates his own race and leads it through the magical world. Race is made up of traits: origin, culture and magical tendencies. The available troops and buildings depend on this. The Empire can belong to any race, and this affects diplomacy. The ruler can be customized in detail, including appearance and character. Magic books determine the available spells and troops, so development follows the chosen path. Cities are built, and lands have to be cleared of monsters. Cities grow in blocks, and provinces require management and protection. Provinces provide resources and require garrisons. City improvements open up new units. Battles take place in turns on a separate field, where order and positions are important. Diplomacy and alliances help to survive among neighbors. Tactical battles take place on a grid, where heights and cover give an advantage. Tactics are based on a combination of spells and units. Sieges require technology and defensive enchantments. Spells require mana and preparation. The campaigns are connected by a common world, and the sandbox allows you to build your own map. Updates added books and settings. Events on the map bring surprises, and rulers gain levels. Victory is achieved in different ways, including magic. Rivals form alliances against the strong. Anyone who loves magic and turn-based combat will find this world suitable. Updates added books of magic and world settings. Patches corrected spells and added content. Scenarios offer their own victory conditions.
