Well, this game is quite easy, it has engine that allows you to create your empire fantasies. If you're a racist that's fine, if you're a green skin enjoyer that's cool too. If you want to be a human that's okay as well. Want to be a bird? No problem. The spells aren't hard to grasp, one session is all it takes to almost fully understand all of the mechanics needed to enjoy the gameplay. No tutorial that is annoying to go through. Overall a pretty good experience. That's my first Age of Wonders game I've actually played, I remember seeing adds for the AoW and AoW2 as a kid, and now I can finally enjoy it myself. It is a bit pricey for what it is. Combat is enjoyable, heroes-style, I'd say The endless Space 2 is the better 4x but I don't enjoy the combat there.
Yea, I have spent tons of hours playin this game back in the day... It worked like a charm, the path finding indeed was weird but I was a kid and didn't give a damn. The leveling system of every single unit, 3 unique races, map editor!!! It had all of these before Wc3 came out. Damn was it an influential game for me when I was young.
Great game, great story. This game offers a lot as it is and moreover there is a lot of user-made content. There are folks out there who manage and play on Roleplay servers, you can just google many communites, by simply writing "Neverwinter 2 Servers". I strongly recommend this title, it is worth the money, if you are able to engage the game for many hours this is one of the great titles to do. You will not regret if only you give it a chance. Surely there are newer games, but this one is really climatic and gives power to the community and the players. Are you going to have fun? You surely will unless you are not the type to like good story and demanding games, that give the player the choice of how he wants to have fun :)
