Standard and no more

It's quite standard fantasy-TBS that pretends having kept the best traits of previous parts of the series but it has lost them in fact. "Spiritual successor of Master of Magic" claims are out of question and are far from reality. I won't talk about AI issues, and overall poor optimization and balancing because it could be repaired with patches and DLCs. But there is a number of controversial designing decisions (hero class system, new battle view and mechanics, and some other) that are irreversible, and they are making this game worse than its parents (AoW 1&2) in terms of unique traits that this series had. So now it's a game without any outstanding or catchy features. If you are new to the AoW series, you might like it. If you are fantasy TBS-veteran who remember Master of Magic, Disciples, Warlords, HoMM and even previous AoW games - you might find this game rather unsufficiently charming.

Great game

After thoroughly enjoying AoW:Shadow Magic, I have found a lot to like with AoW3. The gameplay is really well thought out, including the spells, races, win conditions, classes, and so forth. The AI plays decently, and there are various difficulty settings that can enhance the challenge. I have never been a fan of AoW campaigns, and I got tired of the ones in AoW3 too. However, the random maps are great, and replayability is high. I recommend the AoW 3 expansions as well.

Workarounds from 2014, not working.

Workarounds posted from 2014, not working. It won't start even in guest mode / quest offline, now. I can’t even play as a guest. I’ve reinstalled the game but it says “cannot launch installation invalid” when I try to play in guest mode.
