Key features of Age of Wonders 4: Rise from Ruin:

  • New culture: become nomads who move swiftly both on the battlefield and across the world. They can relocate an entire city to conquer a new land. Choose the path of conquerors to capture territories, or gatherers to collect ancient wonders and loot.
  • New race: the rabbitfolk, who survived a true apocalypse through speed, instinct, and an incredible will to live.
  • Three new books: The Combat Squad book allows players to create powerful armies and train soldiers; the Desert Pathfinder Book enables players to explore deserts, track and blind enemies, and summon the Desert Guardian; while the Command Book ensures conditions for world conquest with warriors and hellish allies.
  • New world map content: survive in the Astral Wastes, a new type of terrain that drains mana, halts regeneration, and punishes spellcasters. The instability of energy causes spells to work contrary to their intended effect. Explore shattered lairs, ancient wonders, and ruined nodes. The worlds of the Astral Sea have changed – 20 meticulously crafted regions have been added. Try to survive the engulfing winds brought by the echoes of the fracture. The global crisis has made all spells dangerous.
  • And much more: 2 new mounts, 5 new world traits, 3 new music tracks, new story content, animals, units, and a user interface skin.

On the same day, a free content patch Scorpion Update will be released, available to all players of Age of Wonders 4. In addition to technical updates and fixes, significant changes will occur in the in-game unit movement and combat balance, as well as new settings and pantheon options.
