PBEM missing but DRM included:/

I love the AOW series and like what they did with AOW3 with 2 major exeptions: - It has a DRM (-1 star). - AOW3 has no PBEM support up until now (10/2014) and maybe will never have. The devs don't answer any questions concerning PBEM (-2 stars).

Shadow Magic is Better

I first felt ripped off by spending $5 dollar for a map I thought was more of a campaign. It was not. Then I was irritated constantly by the appalling mouse controls. Think of every rpg style game you have ever played. Now think of how annoying it would be to have you mouse do everything opposite of every game ever created. As for the game itself? The game just lacks most of the basic elements that were in Shadow Magic. Which may not as good, but that goes to show you that the game is just pretty without the polish. I personally rather sit back and play a well rounded good quality game, no matter how high the graphics are upped. That said, after playing through the terrible campaigns of AoW3. It was enough. Large portions of what you are supposed to do are just ignored entirely and you fail repeated in some maps. Not because of poor game tactics, but because they designed it to be so vague you have NO idea whatsoever what or where to do or go. Feel free to play this game. But be aware the last one was crafted better in terms of game play. The other hand will say, if you like being frustrated and only playing a game just because you paid too much for it, well at least it looks pretty, just don't expect the brains >_>

Buy if you have a lot of time,great game

I found this game really awesome. However I also found it to be very long, dragging out and almost too much information to digest all at once. Comparing this game to might and magic, though of course this game is different in its own right. One of the major problems I found was the turn based combat; It is very unforgiving (norm difficulty) and I felt no way near as good as the might and magic combat system as flanking exploits is basically what it is about. Secondly I really dislike the hero structure (based off the previous games as well) with the leveling up stats and items. I find the might and magic structure far superior instead of customizing your hero with special passive abilities, stat upgrades ect as it becomes tedious work referencing what can help you ect. The narration and atmosphere is excellent, the game is excellent but expect a lot of hours and a steep learning curve if you buy this game. I am sure the rewards in doing so are excellent but most people with busy lives such as myself will find this game appealing due to the slow paced nature of this game. That said if you have time to read a slab of text in the encyclopedia to learn and have time, I highly recommend this to you.

More then I expected!

One star less for the registration process to enjoy the FULL game. The single player works like a charm in guest mode so it's more per principle of registration being there. I did not expect *wonders* from the new age of wonders, but this game was a pleasant surprise. I must say I was a bit skeptical about this game - I personally considered (and still do) age of wonders- shadow magic to be the pinnacle of turn based strategy games, so I'm going to start with what I'm missing from the grand title: - Wizard tower - yes, the ugly tall thing that allowed you to stretch control over a huge area. - semi permanent world changing spells (combined with the tower it created a great feeling as you could see the green pastures turn to gray blighted land or vice versa) - Real undead as a race - bone horrors and wraights (the developers are adding necromancer class now) -REDUCED PARTY SIZE(gods why... whyyyy?!) // It's more painful because of the great things the game has as support/caster characters and redone heroes Now the great things: Despite my initial bad feelings, the game class system is great! Every race has few racial units plus a number of class based units that are almost identical for the every race. Dreadnought - creates heavy war machines. Rogue - sends out bards, succubi(!) shadows, sorcerer relies on summons Less spells, but a lot more interesting empire upgrades - instead of the ever present +20% to whatever, some upgrades give you faster movement for certain units, other will give you more from the dwellings etc. And rogue has an upgrade that will transform his cheap units on promotion into wraight-like shadows that in turn evolve into a greater shadow! Artifact forge has been nerfed, so no more double-strike+shock+lifesteal cheese in late game.
