There are four key resources that you’ll have to manage during any Age of Wonders 4 playthrough. These are as follows:

  • Food – Used to manage and increase your population
  • Gold – Used to recruit new units and build structures
  • Draft – Also used for recruiting units in your cities
  • Production – Also used for building new structures

When it comes to structures, they are crucial to your empire as they’re responsible for delivering the resources that you need.

However, they’re not just limited to resources as they can also provide a bunch of other stuff like city stability, defense, research, and a whole lot more.

Since there are several types of structures that you can build in Age of Wonders 4, you must carefully choose which to prioritize depending on your strategy and available resources.

For example, if you’re running low on resources, you can build structures like farms and mines to further boost your resource production.

You can also gain the ability to lower the costs of building new structures.

This allows you to easily manage your resources even further since you can spend your extra resources on other empire-building efforts.
