Ahoy there, folks! I’m the Captain of Age of Wonders 4, a game we’ve been sharing with you for either four years or twenty-seven years, depending on how long you’ve been playing the series. Everyone here at Triumph Studios has spent a lifetime coming up with fantastical ideas to add to our games, but now that Age of Wonders 4 is entering its fourth year and kicking off its fourth set of expansions, it’s officially the longest-running title in the franchise in terms of ongoing support.

It makes me proud to work on a game whose players are still hungry for more new stuff, from dragons to vampires to otherworldly terrors beyond comprehension. It makes me even more proud to have players who are so enthusiastic that we have enough great suggestions and ideas from all of you that we can make entire expansions themed around your requests, which is what The Silver Seas is all about. It’s out today, and it’s loaded with goodies that you’ve asked to see!

Let’s start with Pirates . Age of Wonders 4 is a game where your empires and armies sprawl across forests, deserts, underground caverns, on land and at sea, but our players have been asking for more seabound gameplay since launch. Of course, you all made it very clear that you didn’t want to expand onto the sea without being able to build your own swashbuckling pirate fantasies in the process, so we started there. The heart of The Silver Seas is the new Mercantile Culture, which allows you to place cities at sea, and transform them into floating fortresses to rule the waves.
