About this DLC
Take command of the forces of light in the Age of Wonders 4: Archon Prophecy expansion. Join the celestial Archons as they strike back against Urrath’s corrupt forces. Consult the oracles, glimpse hidden prophecies that shape the fates of the realms and become the master of your own destiny. Contains a new culture, story content, and society traits.
New Culture:
Build your empire with the help of the Architects — construct vast, magical monuments within your cities and dedicate them to the affinity of your choice to empower your economy and unlock powerful bonuses. Shape your domain and carve your ideology into the world.
Two New Forms bring their eternal struggle to the soul of your empire:
-
Elysian — ascended, heavenly beings that bring a touch of the divine to your realm.
-
Ancient — withered and bent beings from the depths of history - and other, more sinister places.
New Narrative Content:
Forge your destiny with Prophecy Traits — new society traits that help you shape your empire. Early in your journey a vision will appear, challenging you to define your ruler’s purpose and ambitions. How you interpret it is up to you, but fulfilling the Prophecy will unlock powerful rewards.
