Triumph say that you’ll be able to create realms to play in, combining locations and features to make loads of combinations. There’s also a new event system that can drop characters you’ve made into later playthroughs as rivals or allies. That could mean generating some moody moon elves, or even a batch of cannibalistic halflings.

One novel thing that's fresh to the series with Age Of Wonders 4 is the opportunity to create custom factions. There'll be roaming monsters to engage, but your forces can also lay siege to their enemies in large-scale, turn-based tactical combat. Age Of Wonders 4 gives you the chance to fight against these sorcerous invaders using destructive tomes of magic, and armies that you can manipulate into new forms. If you’re not keen on almighty wizard kings who rule mortals as gods then Age Of Wonders is probably right up your magical alley, because you’ll get to biff them right back through their shimmery portals. You can watch a short teaser video for Age Of Wonders 4 below.Īge Of Wonders 4 sure does like its fantasy Stargates. It’ll be the first Age Of Wonders in nine years that hasn't veered into sci-fi territory, and introduces a new custom faction system. The 4X game was announced during a livestream today hosted by publishers Paradox Interactive. Magic’s making a comeback when fantasy strategy sequel Age Of Wonders 4 arrives on Steam on May 2nd, devs Triumph Studios have revealed.
