    It's alright but a downgrade on the gameplay side compared to previous games ,also most of the customization was copied from Age of wonders 3 and I can't play technological empire as far as I have seen whit technologies and magic been one thing .

    Also it doesn't keep my attention like the other age of wonders and for some reason the UI feels really weird . on the good side I like    It's alright but a downgrade on the gameplay side compared to previous games ,also most of the customization was copied from Age of wonders 3 and I can't play technological empire as far as I have seen whit technologies and magic been one thing .

    Age of Wonders 3 is one of my most favorite 4x games of all time. AoW4 seems almost like a graphics update of the old game with a couple tweaks. Paradox's weird territory system is used again. There are some new races and some new resources but it feels like the exact same game from almost 10 years ago. The thing that I miss most are the campaigns which I bet Paradox will releaseAge of Wonders 3 is one of my most favorite 4x games of all time.

The thing that I miss most are the campaigns which I bet Paradox will release separately for more $$$$ as they do. I'm just not as into it as I thought I'd be.… Expand

    Пародия на циву, которая очень приедается после одной с половиной партии.

    It is very good in many aspects, but unfortunatelly AI is awful making it lot less enjoyable than it could be.

    지도자 커스터마이징 시스템은 매우 훌륭하지만
    다른 대부분의 요소들은 3의 반복처럼 느껴진다. 멍청하지만 경제만 부스트 받은 ai와의 똑같은 전투를 수십번 반복하다보면 금방 질리게 되는듯

    You are not bound by fantasy stereotypes or archetypes, and can thus create often very bizarre combinations of races and their elements. It's a brilliantly done system, and one on which the authors will be able to build all their major or minor DLC for a few more years if sales are good. In an age of games as services, one couldn't ask for more from a solid strategy game. [Issue#327]

    This installment is a lot closer to modern Civilization games than to classic Age of Wonders. The differences between factions are so few and far between, everyone might as well be humans under various banners. [Issue#262, p.72]

    Age of Wonders 4 offers a profound gameplay when we talk about pure strategy, despite the battles are not at the same level. There is no doubt that it's a great entry to the genre and the Paradox portfolio.
