Negotiations and diplomacy figure into this turn-based strategy game, also.

In the game, your chief concerns are centered around exploration, resource management, developing infrastructure and building a militia, and conquest of occupied land (a lot like Civilization). Sundren’s mother, Julia, led a peaceful group of elves to fight against the humans and simply reclaim their land, not genocide the race of men.ĪOW3 picks up here, with elves and man clashing for land and dominion once more. Sundren, rogue Elvin militant and she warrior, and the game’s recommended champion for newcomer’s to the series.Ī little back-story for newcomers to the series, such as myself: In AOW2, the elvin court was destroyed by humanity, and the elves marched in two factions hellbent on destroying the league of man (who has formed the Commonwealth Empire, a sort of fantasy NATO consisting of other legendary creatures, all determined to discard the old ways that the elves champion and usher in a new world). In Age of Wonders III, players can choose to play as rouge elvin military leader, Sundren, or a human military leader (whose campaign I have as of yet to explore). This high-fantasy realm is vast, offering over 50 locations and a diverse blend of allies and enemies to befriend and besiege. In a world of mythical lands, players fight to conquer an ancient paradise and settle an empire of their own design to perpetuate their dominion. Out at the end of this month is the latest installment to the Age of Wonders series, a mere decade in the making. Preview Copy Provided By: Triumph Studios
