Ancients Wonders are sort of like mini-dungeons, as they contain adventures that typically require you to make a choice that may cause a fight to break out. As such, make sure to prep your units and be ready for a fight.

To explore an Ancient Wonder, first you need to create an Army that is led by your Hero. Only Armies led by a Hero are permitted to enter Ancient Wonders, as it is far too dangerous for normal Armies. It is best to fill up your Army with six units as well for the highest chance of survival.
