Top tactical gameplay with a fantasy 4X
The really good stuff All together, the tactical combat with spell slinging is very top notch. There are many layers to play around with. The first layer, the dynamic of the basic 7 units. Your shield units and pikemen are controlling the hexes of the battlefield and closing off your opponents maneuvers while enabling your own. Your archers and cavalry are dealing damage and exploiting weaknesses. Battle mages, support units and skirmishers are opening opportunities and exploiting certain conditions. But all these basic strategies can be tweaked with the other mechanics. There’s morale, which can boost your crits for massive damage, or demoralizing the enemy causing them to miss and do reduced damage. There are many buffs and debuffs that can disable or stun units, pour on damage, or give special protection. There are units that get tougher with every hit, units that bounce back with healing, units that ignore terrain or zip between shield units to get to the flank, etc. Spells are also the good stuff, allowing you to cast world altering spells and create and summon strange combat units or significantly alter combat encounters. In this game, spells are packaged into tomes of about 5 spells each. The spells fit closely into a theme and every 2 tomes opens up the next tier up to 5. You can freely mix and match these, and another tome unlocks after every 4 spells. You are free to dip in to any tome, each of which is in one of 6 schools of the empire tree. It is a very friendly system which means you can have just about anything. Age of Wonders 4 creates a magical empire building game where it really feels like the civilization is your own. There is a lot of flavor in the world. The story realms of AoW4 were pretty impressive. The consequences are meaningful and it is satisfying to see a strategy play out or snatch victory from the jaws of defeat with clever unit maneuvering and spell slinging.
