Took some time to get into, but I love it
My first step into AOW was Planetfall, so this was my first real foray into their fantasy offering, and it took me awhile to grasp, but I really like it. It has the same deeply fascinating customization, but much of that customization happens as you play the game. It has the sense of exploration, mystery and discovery that I never would have expected out of a strategy game, capturing the essence of the fantasy genre very well. Like Planetfall, I am obsessed. I dropped my coin on the deluxe edition and to my delight, it's been totally worth it. The production values are also top notch. The characters look great, the game looks great. There is, however, no voice acting, I don't know why. Planetfall had voice acting, it added a lot, it's weird that this one reduces characters to grunts and hmms. This does hurt the experience. The game has story arcs, which is wild. You don't have to play the story realms, but the design of each scenario is fascinating: they're not just interesting and unique scenarios with which to play the game, but narrative arcs as well. The design depth of this game is just crazy. The combination of faction, culture, aspect and then world means every game feels unique. It really does it for me. Totally worth checking out if you like the 4x space.
