8/1/2023 0 Comments Age of wonders iii racesUNDERGROUND – This is probably the single coolest part of this game and it blew our collective minds. Keen and I are both fans of fantasy-based stuff and we really enjoy interacting with cool creatures like Dragons, Giants, Beholders and all the other stuff. The stuff dropped has a varying level of rarity so some of it may be common or legendary.įantasy Theme – I love the overall theme of the game. Your hero characters get equipment slots of weapons, shields, accessories, mounts, and some other stuff I’m probably forgetting. Items – Over the course of the game you can come across different kinds of loot that you can get by defeating enemies and exploring places. When you get into combat you can also cast different kinds of combat specific spells that deal damage, buff, debuff, and so on. That’s pretty much just the kind of stuff you cast while on the map. You research them over time similarly to research in games like Civ. Some of them will give you passive bonuses while others can do cool things like terraform areas, create protective shields around your cities or magical walls, call in thunderstorms, summon special units, etc. Magic – I really like all of the different kinds of spells you can cast. Your class also gives you a specialized unit as well. I’m not positive on exactly what race encompasses but from what I can tell it determines what kind of environment you like best, I think it might add some racial buffs/debuffs, and also gives you a special racial unit. Your hero’s race determines your civilization’s race as well. So if you want to make an Orc Sorcerer named Nubbins The Bum-Tickler or whatever then that’s cool. Your other spells and abilities are determined by your class. You get to customize how they look along with some specific specializations that determine some of the spells you get to cast. There are a bunch of them made that cover every race and class combination but you can also make your own if you want. Heroes, Races, Classes – At the start of each game, depending on your setup options, you get to choose a hero character to play as. You can do either simultaneous turns or classic. I was almost finished writing the post and I wasn’t sure if I had mentioned that before. Also I should mention that it is a turn-based game. I also might throw in a couple of things that irk me as well, depending on how things go. I don’t really feel like delving into the mechanics of the game, which we are both still figuring out anyway, so instead I’m going to talk about some aspects of the game that I really enjoy. The concept seemed fun enough so we gave it a go and ended up playing four hours straight (Which you wont get out of me often). From what I could tell by looking at screenshots it appeared to be like a Civilization game but with turn-based combat thrown in the mix. To be fair, there seems to be a mess load of games that start with “Age of” and end with something different like Empires, Mythology, Wushu, Conan, Conquest, and a crap-load of other stuff. I had no idea what Age of Wonders 3 was before I saw it and I’m not entirely sure I’ve ever heard of the series either. *Browses around Steam a little more* Do you mean this? Age of Wonder 3? Graev: *Looks at name* No, it’s not that. Keen: Oh is that, Age of Magic or Mystic or something? I’ve heard good things about that. The conversation went something like this: We actually stumbled upon this game like we do most of them these days.
