Lead a civilization from a lone settler to a global power in this turn-based 4X strategy game. Explore handcrafted hex maps, found cities, build roads, research technologies, manage strategic resources, trade, wage war, and play solo or multiplayer.
Build a civilization, one turn at a time
Your people begin with a lone settler, an unexplored hex map, and a world full of opportunities and threats. Found your first city, reveal the surrounding lands, and decide what kind of civilization you want to create.
Age of New Worlds is a turn-based 4X strategy game built around deliberate decisions rather than quick reactions. Every turn is a chance to expand your borders, strengthen your economy, prepare your defenses, or exploit a rival’s weakness.
Explore, develop and connect your empire
Send units into the unknown, uncover valuable terrain, and choose where your next city should rise. Develop the land with workers, construct roads between important locations, and build an empire whose cities, armies, and trade routes support one another.
Strategic resources are more than icons on the map. Reveal deposits through research, build the improvements needed to extract them, accumulate stockpiles, spend resources on production, and trade your surpluses for gold or other resources.
Research, trade and fight
Advance through the technology tree to unlock new units, buildings, improvements, infrastructure, and world wonders. Invest in a peaceful economy and diplomacy, or prepare armies capable of taking what negotiation cannot secure.
Command land, naval, siege, reconnaissance, and modern units. Movement depends on terrain and roads, while fortification, ranged attacks, retreats, and positioning can decide the outcome of a war.
Conquer your rivals, dominate the map, lead through score, or compete for powerful world artifacts. There is more than one path to victory.
