The best strategy from 2014
It plays similar to the first Age of Wonders. Expand your existing cities, found or conquer new ones, gather resources, create armies, destroy your enemies. In addition, you can research spells. Some of them will be used on battlefields, others on the strategic map. You can also research enhancements, which can improve your units or give other passive bonuses to your kingdom. Your enemies can try to disjunct spells you cast on the strategic map, thus aborting them. You can reinforce the spell so that they will harder time disjuncting it. You can also disjunct their spells. There is also diplomacy, although I haven't found it very useful against regular AI players. That may be because I've only played the campaign so far, where the diplomacy is probably scripted. However, the diplomacy can be useful if you want to negotiate with independent cities. If you want to make them join your kingdom, you can bribe them, conquer their city, or if they offer it, you can complete a quest for them. Each nation has it's own units, which is frankly better than in AoW 1, where the nations had many units in common. Some units are specific to your hero specification(e.g. you can train Scoundrels as Rogue). The graphics looks very nice and the soundtrack is beautiful. In addition to new tracks, there are also some songs from the first AoW 1. Michiel van den Bos have done good job in remastering them. There are two campaigns- Elven's and Human's. Don't fear, you will have the opportunity to command forces of all nations. I've played only the Elven campaign so far, but I can tell you it has good story. Besides, you will also have to made a decision, which will impact the later part of the campaign. You will play different maps based on that decision. I think the reason why we didn't hear much about this game in 2014 is the fact that it was released in spring instead of autumn, where all the big games are being released. In my opinion, this game is the best strategy of 2014.
