Age of Wonders 4 - Steam Awards and Autumn Sale!

Rulers!

We are pleased to announce that we are entering Age of Wonders 4 into the Steam Awards for the category Best Game You Suck At!



Hours of theorycrafting, debates over tactics, and curses at the Grexolis designers for being born are thrown around every week. Yet even the most dedicated players find themselves at odds with the enemies they try to exert dominance over, especially after the AI got a beefy upgrade in the Golem Update.

Best Game You Suck At recognises the effort the devs have put into designing the core strategy of the game, the compulsion that keeps you coming back and saying “One More Turn” even when wars aren’t going your way. It celebrates the wonderful joys of experimenting tactics through trial and error, in order to creatively pull off the most hard-earned triumphs.

We truly hope that amidst the many other wonderful entries, our game has captured your hearts enough to fetch us your nomination!

Vote now: https://store.steampowered.com/steamawards/nominations


How It Works:
  • In the first phase (right now!), players submit their nominations to Steam.
  • The Top 5 games then go into a second round of voting
  • At the end of the second round, the game with the most number of votes wins!

  • Standard Edition: 30% off
  • Premium Edition: 15% off
  • Dragon Dawn: 10% off

*The Premium Edition grants access to the newly released expansion Empires & Ashes!
