Age of Wonders 4 lets you build high-fantasy civilizations — at a cost
Immediately after starting Age of Wonders 4, I decided to make a custom race of molekin for the tutorial realm — a swarming, mana-channeling people ruled by High Matriarch Enam’ru Onimole. I could have just as easily made a race of feudal toadkin or poisonous halflings, but as a selective isolationist when it comes to 4X strategy games, the idea of building my empire underground and popping up like a horde of gophers sounded irresistible. Unfortunately, there is great hubris in getting too creative before learning a game’s systems and synergies, and as a result, the proud mole-folk of Holemind paid a dear price.
