Dear Godirs,

Dev Diaries: 
Hey Subterranean Dwellers and Extremophiles! I’m Bas, you may know me from the Hand-Crafted Region dev diary. I’m back to bring you more on the changes that are coming to the landscapes of Age of Wonders 4 in the free update alongside Giant Kings.
A Giant Ruler gazes on his personal Lava pool.
Lava appears in smaller and annexable regions. Lava will also still show up in smaller quantities mixed with land hexes.When lava is at the center of a province, you’re able to build 2 Lava Province Improvements on it instead of the normal Land or Water improvements:
The Cinder Conduit in all its glowing glory
The Smelter Mine in all its smoldering splendour
The new Volcanologists’ Guild City Structure.
Some units taking a nice dip in the lava.Of course, this means you may not be able to traverse entire armies across the lava, but fret not, Lava walking units have the ability to build Roads across the lava! These roads create paths for the other units to cross the lava. You can simply do this by unlocking the Road Building society trait and sending a unit through the lava with road building enabled.
The humble, non-lava walking piglet thanks the stellar, lava walking Chaos Eater for building the way forward.
The Molten Treasure pickup.
The Molten Weapons pickup.
The old Underground cavern with snow and ice.
The old Underground cavern with ashland and lava.
The new Arctic Underground clime.
The new Desolate Underground clime.With these changes you can easily identify the clime of a cavern as you approach its bedrock and earth walls, making it easier to find these caverns in case you’re looking for lava, or perhaps if you have the Underground adaptation trait.

We’ve focussed on making the standard Underground better suitable for the players that like to settle in the Underground, as we noticed the tendency for players to ignore the Underground when playing on the Surface.
Some example of old Underground generations. Note that caverns tend to stretch into singular directions. And not all caverns are connected with one another.
Examples of new Underground generations - more spacious caverns, and more connections going between them.
The new Explorative Underground misc trait.

Greetings Giant Kings and other, more respectable Godir. I am Thomas Schuiten, Designer at Triumph and today I get to share with you the details of the rework to our oldest Culture: Feudal!
Queen Lyanne is not to be trifled with. (ok maybe a little as a treat)
Stand Together, the old feudal unit passive
The Aspirant Knight trait, letting the Aspirant Knights promote into full Knights.
A tier 1 polearm unit, militia are weaker than most tier 1 units, but extremely cheap to maintain and obtain. Not able to be recruited in cities, but rather “summoned” through a strategic spell that creates two militia in the target owned city. A great way to get a new army up and running, or to scramble a defense!
The Defender is now a Tier 1 unit, filling the role of the primary frontline combatant for Feudal cultures. They retain their heavy shield passive, ensuring they remain a stalwart, simple shield unit to keep the enemy at bay.
The Archer is a mainstay of the Feudal culture, the baseline ranged unit all others vary from. They have gotten a slight buff to help them fulfill a more synergetic role with the cavalry; their attacks now inflict Sundered Defense. Ensuring that the follow up charge of the nobles will hit all that much harder.
The Bannerman has long been an excellent support unit, AoE buffs provided it a powerful niche, though the way it functioned incentivized stacking up early to spread the buff, rather than being mobile as a cavalry culture would wish to be.
This ensures the Bannerman is a constant benefit to the units it joins near the frontline, and though this effect doesn’t stack with other bannermen, it does stack with the benefits of Defense Mode: warding.
Its abilities got rolled into a singular, low cooldown, touch range heal. This can be used every other turn, even while engaged. Healing the target, improving morale and putting the bannerman in defense mode, making them an even more effective anchor for their adjacent allies!
The Aspirant knight may look familiar, mostly retaining the look of the old Feudal Tier 3 knight. The Aspirant Knight is instead a tier 2 shock cavalry unit with some unique benefits over other shock units, leaning into more of a skirmisher role than a full knight would.
As their name implies, the Aspirant Knights uniquely are able to promote into a new unit. A Tier 4 shock unit, the Knight. This is the only way to acquire Knights, as they cannot be directly built, making them rare and valuable assets to your kingdom.
A powerful ranged unit with an exceptionally long reach, not only do their base attacks have additional reach thanks to their “Longbow” trait, they also have access to the Longshot ability, a powerful full action shot that reaches out to a whopping 7 tiles away!
The Liege guard are guardians of their Liege lord, sturdy and uncomplicated shield units, retaining the Heavy Shield property of their lesser colleagues, and uniquely having the Sworn Bond ability.
The Liege Guard is the ideal protector of your valuable Heroes, able to suck up damage that would otherwise lay their mighty lord low and strengthen them in the process.
Yes you see that correctly, that is a cultural Tier 4 unit. The Knight is an archetype that we wanted to do more justice, especially for the Feudal culture where it is so quintessential.
Your rule is absolute, the people follow their Monarch and fight to defend them and their kingdom.
When playing as Monarchy all your units gain “For the Monarch”, a simple but always welcome boost to their effectiveness as long as they are either within the kingdom’s borders, or fighting in battle alongside their beloved Monarch. 
In addition, the Monarch’s own army follows them without question, requiring no Upkeep for the privilege. This lets the Monarch field expensive units earlier, and form a powerful early economy.
The special province improvement is the Farmstead, and is shared among both subcultures, and provides a very effective source of food for Monarchs or Liege’s who wish to grow their population rapidly.
Monarchy features three skills, 2 of which are shared with the Aristocracy as well and will be explained below.
Call to Glory is available to both Feudal subcultures and provides a battlefield wide bonus to morale over the course of 3 turns, the seemingly small bonus stacks up rapidly with the amount of units it affects.
The lords and ladies muster on the fields of battle, their house banners flying high over their armies. Each ready to follow their Ruler’s house to war.
When you first assign a governor to a city the new House is born, it’s given a name and banner that you can edit any time to make them what you want them to be. Note that any units produced in that city before this point will still join this house, so no need to wait with starting to draft your new house’s army!
You can change the name, emblem and secondary color of any house at any time to be what you want them to be!
The banner and sigil of the house will be visible in the army panel as well as on the city, letting you easily match which units follow which ruler (also a neat little detail is that it calls out which house the army belongs to).
The Feudal House mechanic has a bunch of complicated rules under the hood that you won’t have to know of as intimately. But I will call out a few here regardless since they were explicitly included in this design to make the experience as natural as possible:
This is quite a hefty bonus for a Renowned governor, befitting their status as the House’s Liege Lord.
Aristocracy shares most of its research skills with the Monarchy, but uniquely has access to Hold the Line.
This is a unique buff spell, letting you prepare for an incoming charge or otherwise augment your defense for the upcoming enemy turn while still dishing out the damage with your units.
Among the available tabs will be the "BETAS" tab.
The Ogre Beta should be listed in the dropdown menu under "Select the beta you would like to opt into:" A restart of your Steam Client may be needed if the Branch isn’t visible.
