jasonnieva November 07, 2024

The Tiger Update is now live Age of Wonders 4. There's a lot of new features added and today we'll take a closer look at one and it's Hero Ambitions.

Basically, it's what the name implies which is heroes no have their ambitions and even goals. Now each hero has an Ambition that determines their Major and Minor Goal. The main difference between the two is that a major goal can only be achieved once. Achieving the goals result in getting yield points that can be used to level the hero's Renown level. The higher the Renown level the more additional benefits a hero obtains when governing a city. For heroes who are unable to complete their ambition, not to worry. That's because they'll be given the chance to follow a different path.
