Age of Wonders 3

Age of Wonders 3 is a turn-based strategy game set in a fantasy world where the player leads a race to dominance. Cities are built on the map, and units move around areas and occupy nodes with resources. The battle takes place step by step in separate arenas, and the heroes grow in levels and gain skills. Magic is divided into schools, and each race has its own preferences. Diplomacy and intelligence make it possible to win without war, but neighbors are rarely quiet. Some maps are being generated anew. Heroes grow in levels and gain skills, and magic is divided into schools. Diplomacy allows you to win without war. Units occupy nodes with resources. Besides wars, there is diplomacy and intelligence. Magic is divided into schools. The battle goes step by step. I would like to separately note the tactics: before the battle, it is important who will stand in front and who will support. Cities generate income, and taxes go to the army. Some of the tasks are related to ancient ruins where monsters live. The map is large, so exploration saves time. Victory unlocks new races and scenarios. I will add that after a victory the game does not end: the cards are replayed with new races and conditions. Settings allow you to speed up battles and disable some animations. I’d like to make a special mention of the music: the themes change along with the races and are designed for long games. Saving works in batches, and the map is divided into scenarios with a separate story. In addition to battles, there are tasks from guilds and short story campaigns for heroes. Some maps are designed for allied victory conditions. Cities grow gradually, and the available troops depend on this. Victory is achieved in different ways, including allied conditions. For those who like turn-based strategies about races, this part is suitable.
