Age of Wonders 4 - Coop and Hot Seat; Multiplayer Explained
In this guide we will talk about multiplayer in AoW4. Learn about co-op and hot seat modes.
Age of Wonders 4 is a new title, which is part of the cult series of turn-based strategy games. Players can pick one of the predefined factions or create one with their own hands and conquer different fantasy worlds. However, many fans are wondering about multiplayer. In this guide we will talk about coop and hot seat in AoW4. We have some good news.
Multiplayer: Coop and Hot Seat in Age of Wanders 4
It is possible to play in coop mode. The game is based on various players doing their turns at the same time or one after the other, so, it makes it very easy to incorporate multiplayer and coop. You can create various teams and play in many ways.
What is more, it is possible to play in hot seat mode. It means that a few players can play on one device. You can take turns one after the other. To do that, when you create a new map, just change ruler to human in Advance options.
The important factor while playing with friends is that it is impossible to assign all players to the same squad. If you want to play with all friends in one team, you have to find opponents or just create AI adversaries.
At the moment, the biggest maps can be created for 9 players. So, it is the max number of people in multiplayer mode. However, it can probably change in the future.
It is worth to add that on launch there were some problems with multiplayer mode and online functions were turn off. It may be fixed now (when you read this text).
