Alright so i bought this game 10 years ago, back then i played 2 hours, thought it was amusing, but then i moved onto the next thing, but 10 years later as at 28, i tried this game again and it hit differently you see because these days i really enjoy strategy games, be it realtime like warcaft3 1v1 and age of empires 2, but i love being able to pause a strategy game to sit back relax, maybe smoke a joint and enjoy the strategic process of making decisions across a battlefield or worldmap.. So then as a fan of strategy games, discovering the Age of Wonders series is just an absolute blessing. This game has entertained me and has immersed me into this wonderful fantasy world and i think if you are someone who wants to be immersed then this game is great, I played 2 goblin campaigns and i had just the best time ever. So for my first game, I wasn't too sure how to play, but my instincts from playing games like civilization, and xcom took over and by the end of the first game i had played out this epic goblin vs dwarf war and by the end of the game i realized that i could make cities that are focused on 3 categories, I'm making cities for either to boost my economy, increase the size of my domain, or to make military industry cities where i will maybe have a close cluster of 3 cities all infinitely creating goblin warg archers and goblin warg riders and with my strong Calvary and cheap units i won And for game 2, i wanted to increase the difficulty and I added in more rivaling domains to compete with. I noticed that as I scaled up the size of the map, i actually was MORE immersed with the game and with this next war, it was a 3 way FFA with me playing goblins against humans and dwarfs and there was many memorable moments from this game, like early on i captured and absorbed an orc city and then, adding in orcs to my nation, i was pretty fond to do so, the orcs and goblins complimented eachother pretty well and i said no to adding in humans and elvs to my domain because i decided in the moment for roleplay reasons that nahhh ima just be a nation of goblins and orcs and ill pretend we like eat elfs or something and use humans to extract skin to make leather or something If you enjoy turn based strategy and you enjoy fantasy settings then this game is great. It's not too late to check this game out, i was 10 years late, but now i get the whole rest of age of wonders to discover, i hear the other games are great too, in particular the earlier age of wonder games somehow graphically reminds me of warlord battlecry 3 in a classic nostalgic way. I'd say this is a good entry point into the age of wonders series and if this was your first game of the series like it was for me, then you by playing this game first might like me have the impression that age of wonders 3 is great and like triumph studios the dev seems pretty legit and cool. thats my honest thoughts on this game, i might edit this later to like add to the review, but im just saying this is a very solid game i would rate 8.5 out of 10. that is a very good score out of 10. thankyou triumph studios, even if i am 10 years late, i love ur game. yes i reccomend this game to people.

Great game with great DLCs. If compare to AOW 2, this game has different approach. All races have the same class troops. but each race has unique bonuse, as each class. AI can create new cities from Caravan, what was impossible in AOW 2. The game has high replayability due to different combinations (race + class), and you need to build different troops for different enemy type. At the same time, some races can struggle hard. For example, Goblins have huge problems with dealing with undead, cuz they have toxic attack, and undead have 100% resistance to toxic. The same applies to Frostling with Cold attack and Orks, because many undead have physical resistance. Some classes are really strong, like Warlord with pikemen 3lvl. At the same time, each class has their own pros, that you can utilize to win the match. Somebody will compare to AOW 2 and tell that each race don't have unique units, but that's because of new system of unit types, what was abscent in previous games. If compare to the newer games like Planetside or AOW 4, then this game still plays great, and I would definitely recommend to buy it if you see the discount.

It's pretty fun if you're into these kinds of games. I'm not, and it was still entertaining. Whatever that means. 7.8🧚♀️/10🧌

Since I absolutely loath AOW4 and all of its lorebreaking and forced parity etc. I have come back to this old and dear friend. One of my favorite games of all time, probably in the top 3. It is still a great game to play! Highly recommend for new players!

I like this game, played it a lot and I like the mechanics and the game play, but oh boy there is a FANTASTIC amount of cheating by the AI. Superlative, overarching, incredible amount of cheating. Literally in 1 turn, from having no other AI army around, 4 full stacks literally materialise next to my 2 partial stacks. (I have full view of that area, there are no tunnels in the region) That particular AI player is 30+ hexes away from the closest city. None of the units have stealth, none of the stacks have a Hero. I would play that battle normally and lose if there was any remote chance that the AI player had discovered me normally and had any of those units. but it hadn't. At this point in time I use one of the player cheats and just give the lot of them the middle finger.
