Wonderful game and very good expansions.

This game was the best purchase I ever made on GOG. Very few bugs, good campaigns, good graphics, wonderful ideas and a single player random map modus, that you could play to infinity. And it got very good expansions with Golden realms and eternal lords, that bring some interesting game changes and new races.

Good gameplay, terrible UI

In my quest to find the best Civ/HoMM-mashup it wasn't too hard to find Age of Wonders. I've only had minor experience with the franchise before, in the form of Shadow Magic (which consistently CTDs after a couple of turns, so there's that), but the idea is appealing. The game combines the research and city-building aspects of Civ with the Hero-based spellcasting, looting and advanced combat of HoMM. The good: * The combat is much better than HoMM. You've got more choices, more varied battlegrounds and both your troops and heroes advance in level. Ranged troops being unable to fire straight across the battleground means tactics do matter. * No stacks of doom. In AoW you build single units, which stack up to 6 (including your hero) rather than ending up with thousands of weenies like in HoMM or single units like in Civ5. * The questline is generic but the scenarios play out well. * Plenty of options with gear, abilities and monster-infested crypts to explore for your heroes. * Siege mechanics are good, as there's actually a considerable advantage to building walls. * Different hero classes bring quite different playstyles and unit focuses. The bad: * The UI is atrocious, clicky and inconsistent. There are numerous examples (such as "cancel" being the default when choosing how to deal with a newly conquered city) but the worst offender is the lack of loading during combat sequences. This means that if a key unit or hero dies early on (the combats can be very long) you're forced to suicide your entire team, click through three different popups and /then/ be allowed to load the game. * Combat focuses way too much on flanking. * While there's plenty of options for heroes and units the same cannot be said for town improvements. Final verdict is lukewam. I find myself drifting towards other games in the genre every time I've played it for more than an hour or two. It could be great but lacks polish, and the frustrating UI only exacerbate the problem.

So far so good!

I am learning, I am not a veteran of this series although I am a veteran of similar titles (Heroes 3 and Civ among them), and I love this game to boot so far. even though I v restarted my random scenarios like 20 times now trying to learn the ropes. there is so much to do! Thank you ! this is brilliant :D I love to fight in this middle eeath esque world. I love the soundtrack! I love how it looks and how it plays. 10/10 so far. an ideal game for somebody who loves strategic sandboxes and experimenting over a pile of his own mistakes. an ideal game to relax to. one more turn...

Slightly disappointed

Maybe I'm simply too much a fan of 4k games like "Master of Orion 2" to appreciate anything less than perfection, however still I didn't particularly enjoy the game. It isn't particularly bad, but I didn't find anything particularly enjoyable either. The campaign is short (few missions) and somehow dispersive. I played it once (elf campaign) and didn't feel the need for another run, so that's why I don't feel like promoting this game. At some point I started to use cheats simply to get quickly to the end. The interface is not convincing and the turn based system seems planned to slow down the user, rather than carefully planning strategies. The fact that it tries to compel the user to be online is another annoying factor. I would consider it a major flaw if it was a great game. Being somehow a half-rated production, sincerely, I couldn't care less. I don't think I'm going to play it again anytime in the future.
