The newest content pack for Age of Wonders 4 is now available. In "Ways of War," players are given new ways when it comes to facing conflict. This DLC is priced at $14.99.
One of the new additions of the DLC are the multi-stage story events which bring narrative elements to normal skirmish maps. These events focus on crises that include assassinations, coups and betrayals. It gives players the chance to take part, thwart, or even exploit them as they wish.
Oathsworn Culture
The Ways of War introduces players to a new culture that's based on ethical codes and provide some unique advantages. Known as the Oathsworn culture, it's all about giving rewards to those who are strong enough to stick to their principles. It has three subcultures where players get to choose the ethical code that they want their people to follow.
The first is "Oath of Harmony" where the focus on avoiding wars while at the same time build a multicultural empire and making the world a safer place. Meanwhile, "Oath of Righteousness" is all about getting those "good" alignment points, and of course, destroying the evil forces. Finally, the "Oath of Strife" puts focus on waging war against worthy opponents. In this subculture, players get to earn bonuses for attacking forces more powerful than their own.
