They are smaller than sectors and unlike Planetfall you will gain a new province every time you gain a new population. Provinces also follow the natural features of the world. But these choice moments were few and far between and it was hard for many players to comprehend the impact of these choices.Īge of Wonders 4 uses a new province and expansion system. In Age of Wonders: Planetfall this was changed to a sector system, which resulted in player control over growth and more natural shapes that follow the environment. This allowed it to exploit the natural resources of nearby resource nodes but gave the player no control. In Age of Wonders 3 and prior, this domain was a hexagon-shape that grew equally in all directions out from the city. This domain extracts resources and ensures rival players can’t just enter it without consequences (more about diplomacy in a future dev diary!)


Cities project a sphere of influence around the city called their domain.
