Age of Wonders 4: The Eternal Court Ep 4 – Digging Through the Deep

Описание: Empire growth becomes the primary focus as development options expand and the ability to dig is unlocked, opening new paths across the underworld. The march toward an Ancient Wonder continues, with nearby cages and scattered loot claimed without resistance.
A rivalry declared by Sylvani Laurel reshapes the political landscape, adding tension to the realm’s diplomacy. An unexpected event introduces Fortuna Tempus as a new hero; her collector trait makes her growth rapid and her value immediate.
The underworld becomes a sprawling network of potential gains as digging sites yield rewards, hidden tunnels, and strategic advantages.
Age of Wonders 4 features a mixture of tactical combat, economic depth, and sprawling map design. Digging has roots in earlier titles of the series, where underground layers created additional dimensions of strategy and surprise. Heroes with collector traits thrive by gathering items and curiosities scattered across the world, a system inspired by classic RPG progression. The Eternal Court realm blends elven myth with necromantic echoes, a design choice reflecting Triumph Studios’ long-standing fascination with high fantasy aesthetics.
Manual exploration of underground spaces is often a hidden strength of strong economies, allowing indirect growth through treasures, wonders, and rare resources. The evolution of wonders across the franchise—from fixed map structures in early titles to dynamic multi-stage sites in Age of Wonders 4—represents one of the series’ largest shifts toward narrative worldbuilding. Deep caverns, rivalries, and ancient relics all converge into a landscape shaped by old magic and opportunistic ambition.
