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.
