Age of Wonders 4: Archon Prophecy transports players to the mystical realms of Athla, where celestial Archons rise against the corrupt forces of Urrath in this expansive 4X strategy game add-on. As a Godir, you shape a custom empire, wielding the new Architects culture to construct magical monuments that align with chosen affinities, unlocking potent economic boosts and unique bonuses. The narrative unfolds across two story realms—Rings of Emnora, a hidden Archon stronghold, and Cliffs of Sordünn, a land lost to the Umbral Abyss—where you fulfill prophecies to shape the war between light and darkness.
Gameplay merges turn-based tactical combat with deep empire-building. The Prophecy Traits system introduces visions that define your ruler’s ambitions, granting powerful rewards upon completion. Four new Tomes—Virtue, Prophecies, Revenant, and Archon—offer spells like prophetic omens or celestial summons, while the Battlesaint hero class excels as a sacred support or martyr-like tank. Two new forms, Elysian and Ancient, add divine and withered aesthetics, complemented by two Revenant Archons with necromantic prowess. Seven wildlife units, two mounts (Chariot and Griffon), and map updates, including new regions and wonders, enrich exploration.
The Architects’ monuments enhance strategic depth, tying your empire’s growth to affinity choices. A new interface skin and five atmospheric tracks by Michiel van den Bos elevate immersion. The free Griffon Update, included for all players, adds form flaws, hero class tweaks, and extra faction data. With dynamic events, customizable factions, and replayable story-driven campaigns, Age of Wonders 4: Archon Prophecy delivers a rich, tactical experience for strategy fans craving celestial warfare and empire-crafting mastery.
