These points are spent on unlocking customisation options and new traits in your ‘Pantheon’ - the rate of progression is quite slow when campaigns take multiple hours each, and it feels frustrating to have to unlock options that you dislike just to get further into a tree. A hefty sum for winning, but a ton more for claiming victories in battles and settling cities, among other things. After the usual, satisfying stats screen and interactive timeline, I was booted back to the main menu, where I levelled up a few times with points accrued for playing the game.
Perhaps Hard mode is where things get rough.Īfter defeating Dafal Dea (and a few other rulers besides), Estoth claimed victory over the land, and the campaign ended. Its use of per-turn spells doesn’t feel as impactful as when I use them, and it relies on swarming individual, weak units when taking out my powerhouses should be the main goal. However, on Easy and Normal at least, the enemy AI doesn’t always make the best decisions. With classic mechanics like hero units being one-person powerhouses and standard units getting weaker as their health is whittled down, Age of Wonders 4 feels like a blend of Total War and Civilization more than ever in battle. The combat system is a robust turn-based affair, with up to three full armies on either side being able to clash on hex-based battlefields.
