The fantastic 4X strategy game Age of Wonders 4 (in testing) from Triumph Studios and publisher Paradox Interactive, to which Dragon Dawn (in check), Empires and Ashes (in check) and last Primal Fury (in check) three expansions have already been released, is celebrating its first birthday today.

Thanks in a blog post Lennart SasGame Director and Studio Manager of Triumph Studios, the AoW community that has accompanied the game series for almost three decades, as Sas along with Arno van Wingerden Triumph Studios was founded to mix strategy with role-playing games. Sas sees AoW4 as the most successful execution of their vision to date, as it gives a lot of freedom in faction creation and strategic development, which would enrich the core gameplay and role-playing experience. As a thank you for the support, you will also receive new in-game content as part of an update today: a raptor mount and skin and a dragon scale UI skin.
