Age of Wonders

I love this game, I had looked for a remake of Master of Magic for years, since to me it was far better than Civilization and other turn based strategy games. With the vast number of spells there is so much to do in this game. Unfortunately it does not really have all that Master of Magic has before the expansion is added to it, which adds spells like create magic item. I really like making powerful magic items that makes my heroes near immortal. If the expansion is also put up on GoG, I will need to get these games.

I played this when I was a child and I own all of the titles. It was a shame that they didn't make more titles of AoW.

I lost a lot of sleep playing this game (and still do). Anyone know if they changed the LAN play to work without using IPX/SPX?

Yeah, I did not finish this game. This is a gamer who loves games like Battle for Wesnoth, Fire Emblem, Civilization IV, Romance of the Three Kingdoms IX, and Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis. I'd like to think that I'm in Age of Wonders' Demographic, and I do feel that it is not a bad game. But here's the thing: it was executed poorly. The first level relies on the player's speed to assault enemy territories, but for some reason the enemy is extremely resilient, more so than say Battle for Wesnoth (but that game has flaws like RNG making you miss constantly). They just won't die, and manage to rush you with several troops to overwhelm the cities that can't replenish your armies fast enough. GOG offers games like Panzer General II that are much less frustrating experiences, but if you're an excellent tactician who likes throwing yourself at foes swiftly then by all means choose this game. I might be incompetent at this game but hey don't let that stop you from buying it. Reviews are subjective, and this strategy gamer did not like this game, but don't let that stop you.

I was forced to make a written review, I don´t like that, Giving the game 5 starts is what I want to do.
