In The Silver Seas, players can explore oceans that are rich with mystery, master the tides to claim their hidden treasures, and become the undisputed ruler of the waves. The expansion centers around the new Mercantile culture, built on turning every deal, alliance, and rivalry into profit. Place cities on both land and sea, and expand your influence, always getting more out of the bargain than anyone else. Choose between two ruthless subcultures: the Cartel, masters of information and manipulation who run camouflaged smuggling routes and turn stolen leverage into battlefield advantage; and the Barony, wealthy trade princes and nobles who command armies and place bounties on their enemies.
The Silver Seas also include:
Two New Forms to conquer the seas, the elegant and otherworldly near-human Aqualon, and the monstrous, toothy, battle-hungry Sharkkin
Four New Tomes providing the power to manipulate the waterways, plunder your rivals, summon the souls of the damned, and even freeze the ocean itself
New World Map Content including a pirate dwelling with a variety of possible captains at the helm, each with their own personalities, benefits, demands, and stories to tell. The map is also awash in new aquatic events, Landmarks, Ancient Wonders, and Infestations of the sea, and a new Magic Material to fuel your empire
New Wildlife Units from electric crabs to schools of frenzied fish and more
New Music, New Interface Skin, New Realm Options and enough extras to drown in
To celebrate the maiden voyage on The Silver Seas, Age of Wonders 4 will be free to play via Steam and XBOX starting on November 5 and lasting through the weekend. In addition, the Manta Update, a new content and quality patch, is available today for all Age of Wonders 4 players, including vast improvements to water gameplay, both on the world map and in combat; new options for a piratey pantheon, a new trade system, new Form Traits, and a host of bug fixes and balance updates.
