Age of Wonders 4: Archon Prophecy review – Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair

While the previous installment, Giant Kings, enriched the game’s maps and worlds with additional depth, Archon Prophecy appears to serve as a culmination for this strategy title’s powerful faction-building aspect. In Archon Prophecy, two new physical manifestations for your civilizations are introduced: The Elysians, who bear an uncanny resemblance to characters from Greek epics, and the Ancients, a decaying people reminiscent of those rumored to dwell in ancient tombs. The expansion’s novel Culture – the Architects – embodies the essence described above: They are the last remnants of the Archons’ followers, safeguarding their secrets and completing any tasks left unfinished by their masters.
