Forge a mighty realm from the ashes in Age of Wonders 4: Rise from Ruin. Journey into the Withered Worlds and explore their devastated landscapes with the Nomad Culture, uniquely adapted to survive and thrive in desolation. Unearth the lost magics that ravaged these realms, and choose to either banish them forever or harness their power for your own ascendancy.
Age of Wonders 4: Rise from Ruin Key Features:
- New Culture - Nomads: Masters of mobility on the battlefield and world alike, Nomads can carry entire cities across the realm in relentless pursuit of conquest and power. Scavengers of the magical wastes and conquering hordes, they drain the land for potent essences before moving on, leaving only desolation behind. Choose Conquerors for fast, aggressive raids that seize enemy territory, or Scavengers to harvest ancient wonders and battlefield loot for growing power.
- New Form - Harefolk: When the world collapsed, the Harefolk endured through speed, instinct, and an unyielding will to live. They thrive where others fall, turning agility and cunning into the ultimate weapons of survival.
- 3 New Tomes: Build strong armies and rise units through the ranks with the Tome of the Warband; spread sands, blind enemies, and summon desert guardians with the Tome of Sand Stalkers; conquer the realm with mighty warriors and infernal allies with the Tome of the Warlord.
- New World Map Content: Survive in the Astral Barrens, a new terrain type born from a catastrophic magical calamity, where magic itself has been corrupted. This unforgiving wasteland drains mana, halts regeneration, and punishes spellcasters as unstable energies cause spells to backfire and living magic to wither away. 20 additional handcrafted regions, a new realm trait that threatens the use of magic, and many more features provide new challenges at each turn!
- So Much More: 2 new mounts, 5 new Realm traits, 3 new music tracks, new Narrative Content, new Wildlife and Units, a new interface skin, and beyond!
