Soon I find that the enemy has been trying to flank me via a cave. So I spend the next 20 or so turns building my two cities and my military as I explore the fast and very detailed map. As it continues to grow it also expands on it’s own.Īfter some progress during my time with Sundren, I meet a Draconic fellow who decides to help me on my quest to avenge my brother and reclaim my kingdom. You come across resources like gold and other aspects but mostly gold is used and the bigger your city the more gold it produces. The difference with this compared to other strategy builders is that you are able to constantly upgrade without really mining for resources at all. That is not to say there isn’t your basic strategy game aspects that fans of the genre/series will be familiar with, you have your cities, your random encampment settled by thugs or grunts of the game and then there’s the upgrade system. Unlike most strategy titles, the game strategically mixes story and adventure within this well-crafted fantasy world.

Soon trouble befalls her and she is thrown into a battle for survival.

Players take control of Sundren, the princess of the High Elves as she looks to take back her land. This campaign serves as a nice tutorial for newcomers or those who are in need of a refresher. Players will have a few various options as far as game modes but for this we took a dive into the Campaign mode, specifically the Elven perspective of the story. With a release coming very soon, we got a chance to go hands-on with the first hour or so of the game.

The game will set players into the role of a political military leader and they must overcome an age old conflict.

Age Of Wonders III is a much anticipated sequel to a ten year old game.
