Exploring each map to find its natural features is just as enjoyable as stumbling on its scattered Ancient Wonders, and unique locations that offer your cities exceptional bonuses. Though 4X fans are notably able to overlook a lack of production values and some even actively rebel against such “frivolous” things, it’s easy to appreciate the amount of skill and effort on display here.įrom detailed, artful unit models, to maps with lush forests, craggy mountaintops, and snow you can practically feel, the game just looks beautiful. Very few 4X games, let alone fantasy 4X games, are as beautiful, well-produced, and audibly satisfying as Age of Wonders 4. #1: The Production Values Are eXceptional

She'll never count against your hero count again after dying.By the time you’re reading this, I am likely having serious withdrawals. If she dies, she's immediately resurrected, but it frees up her hero slot count. You can also exploit the extra hero you get. Make sure you have movement within provinces alliance and make your way to that cave to take her on. You should see the one it corresponds to that way. But if you see her capital you can find the nearest underground entrance and hit the hotkey to go to the surface layer. When you do meet the fourth leader, INSPECT her capital.

I highly recommend you go with something Nature affinity so you can get Leafwalking.

Oddly enough she doesn't get mad when you attack Meandor. To do this I made friends with literally everyone that would take me. Meandor was actually stronger than the final ruler in my two playthroughs. The achievement is for destroying Meandor before the fourth ruler. You have to interpret it from the dialogue prompts you get. The quest will not progress and illustrate this. The fourth is the goal of the map for the Eternal Conquest quest. There's a living elf, and a married couple of dead elves. There are FOUR rulers on this stage, not including yourself. The quests on this stage are VERY confusing.
