How to Heal Units on the Realm Map
All Tome andFaction units inAge of Wonders 4regenerate a small amount of HP at the end of each turn. However, a unit in a friendly Province will regenerate significantly more than a unit in unclaimed or hostile territory, and a unit directly in a friendly City will recover the most per turn. This passive healing can be further boosted through Empire Skills like Natural Recovery from the Nature Affinity tree, which increases passive regeneration in a friendly Domain by +15.
Beyond this natural healing, the best way to heal units onAge of Wonders 4’s Realm mapis through Tome Spells. Most Realm map healing Spells are found in the Nature or Order Affinity Tomes, with one of the best early options being the Tier 1 Tome of Faith’s Army Heal. There are also some Tome Spells which only target specific unit types, like Restore Undead from the Tier 2 Tome of Necromancy, which restores 20HP to all Undead units in an army.
How to Heal Units in Combat
Unlike mostmultiplayer turn-based strategygames, a unit healed in combat inAge of Wonders 4will not keep that healing once it returns to the Realm map. This is because the vast majority of in-combat healing abilities restore Temporary HP, which only lasts until the end of the battle. On the plus side, there are many more ways to gain Temporary HP in battle than there are to heal units on the Realm map.
The most common way to heal units in combat inAge of Wonders 4is by using Tome Spells, and there are Tomes from each Affinity that contain Spells which can grant Temporary HP to all units or to specific kinds of units. Additionally, some Tome Spells, like Healing Roots from the Tier 1 Tome of Roots, apply a Regeneration effect, causing the unit to regain additional Temporary HP over time. Finally, someAge of Wonders 4Ruler Skillsand Support units can also provide Temporary HP using their action points, like the Chaplain from the Tome of Faith of the Bannerman from the Feudal Culture.
Age Of Wonders 4is available now on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
