Age of Wonders 4

Age of Wonders 4 is for players who like growing a small kingdom into a real empire and don't mind losing a few evenings to one more turn. Magic here isn't decoration: the books change how your people fight and what they become. Why grab it: - Early on, your time goes to building your own people, with looks, culture and magic skills that actually matter in play. - Battles happen on the grid, and the terrain counts as much as the army, from frozen wastes to deserts and sieges. - Each new world plays out differently, so the second campaign doesn't feel like a copy of the first. - Your choices in events have consequences, and your ruler can come back in later games as an ally or an enemy.
