It feels like playing a game Risk as a kid and I’m obsessed

Eloquently crafted review for a fantastic title.
AOW 3 is one of the 3 games I have played for over 1000 hours*. I can see AOW4 being the first to 2000.
(*the others being Terraria and Stellaris)

What made me happy is that the dev hinted at that they plan to support it for years. In the anniversary post which makes me happy since AO4 rocks

I played this when dragon dawn first came out but I broke my laptop early this year. I'm getting a new one in January and this is the first thing I'll download

Great video! Age of wonders 4 is shaping to be one of the best fantasy games. As you said its customised nature is greatly benefitted by dlc. However the king of fantasy strategy games for me remains Total war warhammer trilogy. It has now over a decade of added content and factions-races are way more defined and lore-rich. You should try it out if not already.

I couldn't have said it better (literally). I love the random realm options that slowly reveal themselves as you play. Add in the ability to customize each option to be included or not in generation and I can easily see myself passing the 1k hour mark on this one.

How are the chances we'll get a Planetfall 2? I really like this type of game, but not a big fan of fantasy in general.

Coming fromAOW Planetfall, I got the game after seeing reviews and eventually got the all first 4 DLC package. I agree with all you say, it is a solid game with a lot of customization.

But there is, for me, something you did not mention and that becomes very evident on the third game you play in this tittle: the game has quantity but lacks on depth and personality. Factions don`t feel that different one from another, and combat is not that unique from one, say, Tome to the next. The games's strive for "symmetry", customization, and balance make it somewhat shallow, and most expansions feel like they add quantity, not expanding on existing mechanics or adding a new axis/dimensions to explore. With the exception of this last one DLC, I'd say.

The best 4X games for me have both depth and personality woven in the world and their Factions/Characters, something a bit lacking in this game tbh. But all in all a solid one.

Thank you for your content. Does the initial AoW4 game received new musics ? I'm coming from AoW1 and I was at that time in love with the musical atmosphere ; an atmosphere I didn't found to be as magical in the 4th edition of the game.

I was hooked on a *HEAVILY MODDED* Civ VI for years. I loved that game, still love it, but I had to be honest with myself that my favorite part of a CIV playthrough was waiting for some idiot enemy leader to give me an excuse to unload on them militarily.... and the military aspect of the CIV games just aren't that good lol.

Just this past year I've fallen in love with AOW4 and AOW Planetfall at the same time [FYI both games run *MUCH* better on a steam deck than CIV VI does] and, yeah, it kind of reminds me of CIV if it just got straight to the good stuff lol. There really isn't a culture victory analog or anything like that, but if youre playing these games for the military aspect then the AOW franchise might be just about the single best option around.

What do you think of the AI? Is it enough challenging or does it just keep repeating same? Like spamming same units over and over again if you win of their heroes?

Multiplayer is often not working. When it is not desync, it is wierd error that prevent you from hosting.

I enjoyed the free trial but damn is it expensive even on sale

Now i wish there were romance events. Not because i'm a horny guy, but because it would make for interesting dialogue. Let's say you could marry your ruler or one of your heroes with another rulers daughter / son to create a powerful alliance, granting positive influence towards the other faction and eventually forging a new empire? I'm referring to Crusader Kings III. Wish we had something like this in Age of Wonders 4.

So, years ago I skipped this because i've read IA was dumb and not competitive in any way. Has this improved?
