A 4x for the masses

This is a very early review, so take it with a grain of salt. I'm still on my first game and I can see why this game is so popular. 4x games are notoriously complex, with a large variety of systems at play. While not cutting too many corners, AoW4 manages to distill the greater part of the information it throws at you to just about the simplest form possible (kudos to the UI team I guess). It's a full 4x, but it feels more like playing an rts in terms of complexity. I spend less time poring over stats and more time focusing on my armies (which could be a pro or con depending on you playstyle). While maybe too simple for some, the ease of access is welcome (I am no longer a young gamer), and helps to foster the 'one more turn' appeal of the genre. Customization is cool, but I haven't played long enough to really see how it affects your faction mechanically. Aesthetically it's a blast though, despite a glaring lack of ponytail hairstyles. Combat is... good. I'm not good at it yet, but it is enjoyable. Overall I'm not completely floored by AoW4 like I was with Endless Legend (an absolute must play of the genre in it's day), but the wide variety of aesthetic options, easy to digest information, and strong combat will keep me coming back for a long time. If the devs ever add a trading marketplace like the one in EL, this is subject to change, lol. Game seems to run okay on a 1660ti, although the initial load takes a very long time (granted it's pretty much the only load in a session). tldr: good game if you want a 4x that plays like an rts Kudos devs!

Customisation is the name of the game

By far the best feature of AoW4 is the flexibility. With 10 races to choose from, 6 unique cultures and numerous society traits and magical tomes, it's easy to create the fantasy empire of your dreams. World map gameplay is a big improvement over AoW3 - you can choose all-out war and slaughter everything if you like, but there are also far more options for diplomacy and peaceful play. You'll even get occasional 'quests' from random events or allied city-states. Auto-combat has also been improved a lot, and you can manually replay a battle if you're not happy with the results. The turn-based combat is also very enjoyable - fun and resonably deep without being over-complex. The only real downside for me is the lack of an overwatch feature as seen in Planetfall. The downside of all this customisation is that it arguably goes a bit TOO far at times. For example, racial 'forms' are purely cosmetic - they have some default traits but these can easily be changed. All the previous lore regarding inter-race relations, terrain preferences etc. has been thrown out the window, leaving the impression of a society with no real history or pre-existing culture. Even the story missions are largely procedurally generated, allowing you to play any character or faction you want. This may well be a big issue for people who loved the story of previous AoW games. There are also some odd gaps in the customisation, especially in the world generator - e.g. map size is determined by the number of players and distance between them, so you can't have a small number of players on a huge map. There's no option to remove the underground layer or set terrain percentages as in AoW3. And in terms of leader cosmetics, some race/culture combos give an annoyingly small number of heads, hairstyles and outfits to choose from. Still, for me these feel like minor nitpicks of an excellent game. Some bug-fixing and balance tweaks are needed, but overall it's an easy 5-star rating and well worth a buy.

Took some time to get into, but I love it

My first step into AOW was Planetfall, so this was my first real foray into their fantasy offering, and it took me awhile to grasp, but I really like it. It has the same deeply fascinating customization, but much of that customization happens as you play the game. It has the sense of exploration, mystery and discovery that I never would have expected out of a strategy game, capturing the essence of the fantasy genre very well. Like Planetfall, I am obsessed. I dropped my coin on the deluxe edition and to my delight, it's been totally worth it. The production values are also top notch. The characters look great, the game looks great. There is, however, no voice acting, I don't know why. Planetfall had voice acting, it added a lot, it's weird that this one reduces characters to grunts and hmms. This does hurt the experience. The game has story arcs, which is wild. You don't have to play the story realms, but the design of each scenario is fascinating: they're not just interesting and unique scenarios with which to play the game, but narrative arcs as well. The design depth of this game is just crazy. The combination of faction, culture, aspect and then world means every game feels unique. It really does it for me. Totally worth checking out if you like the 4x space.

It's a good game.

I am having a hard time getting through the story lines, but I love playing the random maps. I have tried all the different factions. They are preatty equal. Age of wonders 3 and 4 are my favorite. It is a very good game. I have put in over 300 hours and still enjoy the game.
