The fourth iteration of the Age of Wonders video game series. The best 4X game ever made. Builds upon and improves the already great Endless Legends game. First, each planet is procedurally generated with climates, biomes, resources, landmarks, exploration sites, anomalies, hazards, and marauder spawners. There are eight playable races all with very asymmetrical units, doctrines, technologies and unit mods. Each race uses two weapon types each with their own tech tree. There are seven secret technologies that can be combined with any race, each with its own doctrines, units, unit mods, and doomsday weapons. There are six npc factions the player can ally or war with, each with its own recruitable group of doctrines, techs, mods, and five unit types. All on a beautiful detailed world map that makes Endless Legend maps look like a pile of hot garbage. There’s an empire mode with tons of unlocks and challenges. All of the above with random world event and a world invading alien race that can appear randomly to change the game.
