Rich domains I tend to go for production first, thinking that it has what it needs at the moment. Generally I rush either Store House or Builders hall, the distinguishing factor is how long it has till the next level up, and what is in the domain. I know there is no cure all, but im looking at being a more aggressive player so I want to be more efficient. So the assumption is that I know nothing of the enemy, and have completely average city domains.

However, this also means players don't get to choose what kind of hero they are.Īge of Wonders 4 is available now on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.I know that this game has a lot more variables in what you build when, but I want to get better so i'm looking at clarification on city add on priorities and such. That city's ruler will become a faction hero for free, and they usually come with a lot of very nice equipment. One other way to get a hero is to integrate a vassal free city. Players also can't dismiss heroes the way they can dismiss regular units, and so the only way to get rid of them is to send them into a suicidal battle and sell off their remains ( aside from the faction's ruler, who will always respawn). For reference, every hero below the hero cap has zero maintenance costs. It's possible to hire a hero without raising the hero cap, but doing so costs an extra 200 gold up front and 30 gold in maintenance per turn. However, players will also need to get a new city to raise the hero cap. That means the best way to raise the hero cap past 3 is to raise the city cap using the Expanded Governance rite in the empire development tree, a rite that every faction gets access to. Because of this, the hero cap is closely connected to the city cap. Conquered and incorporated cities count, but outposts and vassals don't.

Players can only have as many heroes in their faction as they have cities under their direct control.
