Triumph has done a fine job of honing a handful of unique features to a fine point with which to carve out a niche beside its contemporaries, and it's one that belies the series' long absence. However, thanks to a host of cleverly interconnected elements, a refreshing combat system and a goofy-looking golden wyvern or two, Age of Wonders 3 reveals itself as a strategy title brimming with personality. The second is that, despite its aesthetic differences, Age of Wonders 3 looks to owe a lot to Civilization 5.Ĭertainly, its uncluttered UI, hexagonal base tiles and colour-coded delineation of territory suggest that Triumph Studios has paid close attention to advancements in the 4X space since 2003's Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic. The first is that its fantasy-themed world is really very pretty - tall spires tower over lush forests that gradually give way to craggy peaks and glistening clear glacial waters, while quarries, mines and mana nodes pulsate with an industrial glow. For me, Das24680 does a great job of fleshing out a game that he knows well or also letting you know that he is just early in trying out a game himself so that you have the proper perspective on what is going on.Īs much as I like Let's Plays these days, there is nothing worse than seeing someone spouting things about a game that are completely inaccurate.Cast a glance at screens of Age of Wonders 3 and you'll notice two things. As murometz pointed out though, you do have to find a person who you enjoy watching. Watching youtube Let's Play's (or Twitch livestreams is even better in some cases, although very rare in this games case) of games is almost always the best advice these days.
I'd suggest watching some of the better Youtube "let's play" sessions, the ones that don't make your brain dribble out of your ears from bad jokes and egotistical kiddies showing off, and getting a sense of how each plays before making an informed decision.
FE isn't a casual game by any means, but it's easier to grasp the positives and negatives of each unit. Overall, AoW3 is much harder, and requires a lot more study to master. Originally posted by murometz:Two very different games, despite both being TBS.
