Tin Salamunic: 4X strategy games aren’t typically my area of expertise. I’m not particularly proficient at micro managing endless menus and stats, and to be honest, there are very few titles in the genre that pique my interest. So why is it then that I’m reviewing the Eternal Lords Expansion to Age of Wonders III? I was introduced to Age of Wonders III only a few weeks ago, and I immediately fell in love with it. In fact, it became the first 4X strategy game that I couldn’t turn away from (aside from Endless Legend). I’ve already invested dozens of hours into the single-player campaign, and while I’m still far from being an expert, I have to admit that my attitude towards this peculiar gameplay style has changed dramatically.
From GameWatcher: "Age of Wonders 3 was an "impressive return" for the series when it launched back on 31st March, 2014, adding more creativity into the 4X strategy mold with strategic battles and the challenge of a new hostile world. The two expansion packs - Eternal Lords and Golden Realms – helped add to a game that wasn't short of content."
Wish it was on PS4.
I used to play Age of Wonders when I was a lot younger.
Might have to look at a few videos and see how it's changed.
From GameWatcher: "Age of Wonders isn’t a game that’s short on content as it is; even discounting the two meaty expansions it’s received, you’ve got a bevy of races, classes, spells, mammoths, evil penguins and more to keep you occupied as you attempt to build your fantasy empire. But hey, who’s going to turn down a bunch of cool extra stuff?"
Age of Wonders 3 is poised to become Age of Modders 3, as Triumph reveal that mod support for the fantasy 4X title is “in the works”.
