Good gameplay, terrible UI
In my quest to find the best Civ/HoMM-mashup it wasn't too hard to find Age of Wonders. I've only had minor experience with the franchise before, in the form of Shadow Magic (which consistently CTDs after a couple of turns, so there's that), but the idea is appealing. The game combines the research and city-building aspects of Civ with the Hero-based spellcasting, looting and advanced combat of HoMM. The good: * The combat is much better than HoMM. You've got more choices, more varied battlegrounds and both your troops and heroes advance in level. Ranged troops being unable to fire straight across the battleground means tactics do matter. * No stacks of doom. In AoW you build single units, which stack up to 6 (including your hero) rather than ending up with thousands of weenies like in HoMM or single units like in Civ5. * The questline is generic but the scenarios play out well. * Plenty of options with gear, abilities and monster-infested crypts to explore for your heroes. * Siege mechanics are good, as there's actually a considerable advantage to building walls. * Different hero classes bring quite different playstyles and unit focuses. The bad: * The UI is atrocious, clicky and inconsistent. There are numerous examples (such as "cancel" being the default when choosing how to deal with a newly conquered city) but the worst offender is the lack of loading during combat sequences. This means that if a key unit or hero dies early on (the combats can be very long) you're forced to suicide your entire team, click through three different popups and /then/ be allowed to load the game. * Combat focuses way too much on flanking. * While there's plenty of options for heroes and units the same cannot be said for town improvements. Final verdict is lukewam. I find myself drifting towards other games in the genre every time I've played it for more than an hour or two. It could be great but lacks polish, and the frustrating UI only exacerbate the problem.
