They never appear in random maps, however.)

(I dislike teleporters - another series staple - for the same reason. I usually turn this off because I think it puts too much stress on my spatial reasoning when I’m playing. I like Land because mountains form natural chokes (more so than water).Īs is Age of Wonders tradition, the game allows you to play with an “underground” layer. There are three Random Map styles: Land, Continents, and Islands. My other settings are also packing resource structures pretty tightly, so there’ll be a lot of bits and bobs even on a map of this size. Medium is a good size if you want room for more than four players to develop, but still come into contact quickly. I do well against “Lord” tier AI this is my first time playing at this level. I forget the exact values, but I think it’s something like 50% more gold and mana and 25% more research, and a slight boost in combat against independents (allowing clearing with less attrition) as well. “King” is the second hardest, after “Emperor.” As with many TBS/4X style games, there’s a limit to how well the AI can plan ahead compared to a human player, so the higher difficulties give resource bonuses to the AI. I spend a lot of time at this zoom level, so I don’t need the distraction.ĪoW3 has three difficulty levels. Clouds Begone - Removes the small amount of clouds you see when you zoom out a bit.

Racial Class Unit Reskin - A graphical mod that adds more cultural variety to the class-based units (like Engineers and Bards).I don’t think it affects the map we’re going to be playing in this thread, actually. Some folks really hate these because they form annoying barriers across continents they say it over-rewards flying units. No Rapids on RMG - Turns off rapids (impassable water tiles) in Random Map.Dynamic Structure Generation - Reduces some checks and limits, allowing for less evenly-distributed structure placement on maps.Improved Rod of Lightning Charge - A trivial mod that improves a single normally-boring treasure item.Effectively a trivial research/mana buff to Master-level specializations. Tanksy’s Change Any Node Mod - Increases the flexibility of the Transform Node spell.Inflict Status Abilities Overhaul - Alters ranged combat modifiers to also apply to inflicted status effects, making it harder to tag enemies with powerful conditions at extreme range.

If you’re curious about anything at all, feel free to jump in and ask. I’m going to try to explain a lot of beginner-type stuff so you can follow along even if you’ve never played AoW3 or seen the series at all. Steam Workshop has some mini-mods you can load to change things up further as well. There are a lot of sliders to fiddle with to customize the experience to match your tastes. The game has a campaign mode (four total, if you’ve got the expansions - each is only a few maps but they’re pretty expansive) and comes with a scenario editor and a bunch of scenarios, but I think the hands-down the best way to play AoW3 is Random Map. The game as it exists now is a lot fancier than what it was two years ago: two expansions have added more character options, some additional gameplay features like alternate victory conditions, and (most importantly for me, since I’m playing video games on a Macbook) OS X support. Now, I’ve fallen absolutely, madly in love with AoW3.ĪoW3 was released in 2014. I played the hell out of Age of Wonders, AoW2, and Shadow Magic (kind of an AoW2.5) back in the day. Age of Wonders is a turn-based strategy series - in the style of Master of Magic - I’ve loved for a very long time.
