Highlights

Bring the empire of your wildest fantasies to life

• Create your followers by combining body shapes, social traits and arcane powers. Build everything from a clan of cannibalistic halflings to mystical moon elves, or recreate your favorite fantasy motifs.
• Seek out powerful tomes of magic to enchant your armies and evolve your people! Watch your followers physically change as they transform into angelic beings or chaos scions to face their enemies.
• Pursue glory through brutal rule, strategic alliances, or the ultimate arcane lore, and leave your legacy in the fabric of the realm!

Strategy combined with role-playing like never before

• Each choice brings with it new possibilities and tactical advantages. In-depth, multifaceted strategy lets you experiment with new tactics or explore new powers at every turn.
• Tactical turn-based battles bring your armies to life, displaying their power in an environment shaped by your decisions. From skirmishes to wandering monsters and vast sieges with multiple units on each side, and with the addition of a morale system and more elements, every battle presents a new challenge.
• The tremendous variety when it comes to empires, units and environments makes the game replayable over and over again. Age of Wonders has never been more amenable to modifications or more open in terms of story.
