After choosing your race, you can select one of six cultures. However, you are not locked to those and can choose one of the other thirteen traits available for Body and Mind. Each race has suggested Body and Mind traits, each giving unique bonuses. The rest of the model is fantastic, don’t get me wrong, it just the head feels off. The race I felt could have done better with the head part is the Feline.Ĭompared to the rest of the races, they didn’t give it the same oomph as the rest. They also changed the races you can play with this time, having Human, Elfkin, Orcoid, Drawfkin, Halfling, Goblinoid, Feline, Ratkin, Toadkin, and Molekin. One gives you economical and diplomatic bonuses, with the other gives you the ability to wield more magic more often. With your leader, they removed the class system from Age of Wonders 3. One of the most significant changes is the customization available to maps and leaders. First, let us talk about the changes to the game from Age of Wonders 3 other than the move away from campaigns.

The other is how the head of one of the races looks, but more on that later. The first is the move away from an actual campaign with the game to a more scenario-based system.

The release date will be May 2nd, and I can’t wait to play it with friends.Īt the time of writing this review, I have only two issues with the game. It will also release the next-gen consoles and Epic Games Store, Windows Store, and GOG. So this review will be for the Steam release of the game. So I was ready for something fresh.īefore I even had the game in my hands, I could tell that Triumph Studios had taken what they had learned from their other games, applied it to their flagship game series, and improved upon it. I was at a point where I was burnt out on other games that had come out since the third game. So when I heard they had a new entry coming, I was ecstatic about it. I have played the series since the first game, where there was a story campaign for the forces of light and darkness and the multiplayer mode. It is also published by Paradox Interactive, who have also published many great games over the years. Age of Wonders 4 is the latest of the Age of Wonders series from the developers at Triumph Studios.
