All-time favorite TRPG/Strategy mix

I remember playing a demo for this game when it was brand-new, maybe 10 years old or so. The demo contained 2 maps or so but I played it over and over again. I had just received my first Pentium PC (upgrading from a x386) and I was smitten. So much cool stuff! Units collect experience and gain skills! Heros with spells and talents! At some point, I must have obtained a boxed copy and couldn't have been happier. I played through both campaings. Nothing more satisfying than having an enchanted, gold-tier orc warlord single-handedly defeating entire armies. To me, this is the gold standard for the genre even 25 years later. I finished school, studied, went to graduate school, got kids. This game stayed with me all these years. Give it a go!

Incredibly enjoyable

The gameplay is simple yet rewarding. The visuals are simple yet beautiful. The music is cinematic and addictive. I keep coming back to this gem of a game every few years.

The best of the best

This game is all the way up there with classics like Heroes III and Master of Magic. Games that great are hard to rank but after more than a decade of playing them Age of Wonders has surpassed them both in my opinion. The game is more than any other the spiritual successor to Master of Magic and combines a magical atmosphere with loving attention to detail and unparallelled strategic depth. The only part of the game that doesn't stand the test of time too well is the artificial intelligence which is very poor. However on the high difficulties there is still plenty of challenge to be had. I should also mention that the game still has a dedicated community at Heavengames (which I'm apparently not allowed to link to). And a final thing. The automated play by email functionality doesn't work properly any more. Luckily there is an easy to use fan made alternative available at heavengames. Playing AoW by email is a real treat and highly recommended.
