Start by scouting the surrounding sectors of land outside of your starting colony to search for unique natural features or valuable landmarks, such as biotech facilities. Once your colony grows and takes on more sectors, be sure to invest knowledge to research new technology to aid in your conquests. Rome wasn\u2019t built in a day, but it sure would have helped to have orbital strikes, jet packs, or mind control abilities \u2013 a few of the many technologies that players can discover in Age of Wonders: Planetfall.<\/p>\n<p>While your empire grows in size and influence, you\u2019ll undoubtedly run into conflict with neighboring NPC factions and rival players. To win control over nearby sectors and the rest of the planet, carefully choose your friends (and foes) in the world and ensure your path to victory. Not all battles need to be won through conquest on the battlefield, though \u2013 players can also succeed through advanced technology or diplomatic means.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone wp-image-122493 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/news.xbox.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/AoW_Planetfall_Screenshot_03.jpg?w=940\" alt=\"Age of Wonders: Planetfall\" width=\"940\" height=\"528\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-122493 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/news.xbox.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/AoW_Planetfall_Screenshot_03.jpg?w=940&amp;resize=940%2C528\" alt=\"Age of Wonders: Planetfall\" width=\"940\" height=\"528\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/p>\n<p>To fully reign their empire over the planet, factions can win with a few different types of victories:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Last Man Standing Victory<\/strong> \u2013 Defeat all non-allied players by capturing their HQ and the Commander<\/li>\n<li><strong>Territory Victory<\/strong> \u2013 Conquer a set percentage of the planet\u2019s sectors<\/li>\n<li><strong>Doomsday Tech Victory<\/strong> \u2013 Dependent on your choice of Secret Technology, race to build and deploy this tech worldwide<\/li>\n<li><strong>Unifier Victory<\/strong> \u2013 Gain a set percentage of influence with the survivors on the planet<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now, you\u2019re ready to set out and create your own vast empire!
