![]() ![]() A halfling? A cat type thing? An elf? A human? Whatever you want, it is here, and the sheer number of choices in everything from hair to body shape is crazy. Just as an example, from the moment you start Age of Wonders 4 and enter the character generator, the amount of different races you can play with seems never ending. In terms of the gameplay that is on offer, and the choices here really do boggle the mind. ![]() Just remember to bring your very best pair of eyes. This is how the tutorials are played out, and so you will need to read and digest as much of this info as you can. See, they are tiny and densely packed with information, and so I found myself sitting on the floor near the TV in order to be able to read them any further away and my ageing eyes had no chance.

The camera can be repositioned as you like, to make sure you have a good view of the action, although the isometric viewpoint remains the same, and you are in no doubt as to what is going on.

Now, obviously, we can’t let this stand, and so it falls to our character, as a leader of whatever tribe we choose, to drag our people up, evolve our society and take the power back from them. It appears that a gang of powerful Wizard Kings have returned to the realm, and have set themselves up as gods among us lesser mortals. We will start with the story found in Age of Wonders 4, mostly as having a nice goal to work towards is always important, especially in a game of this scope. ![]()
