Paradox Interactive revealed this past week that the next expansion for Age Of Wonders 4, called Empires & Ashes, finally has a release date. The shorthand to the expansion is that it will allow players to mix magic and steel together to make mighty war machines as the industrial war-driven Reaver Culture is introduced. You'll also see an Avian physical form, four new Tomes of Magic to dabble in, the "Seals of Power" victory condition, and so much more. We have notes from the team of everything you'll see, plus the teaser video, as it all comes out on November 7 for PC, Xbox, and PlayStation.
