Age of Wonders III

très mauvais tutoriel, aucun plaisir à y jouer.

Age of Wonders III is a turn-based strategy game that closely resembles the Heroes of Might & Magic series, blending tactical combat with empire-building in a fantasy setting. The campaign modes, while on the shorter side, can still take several hours per game, with lengthy missions that, at times, may feel slow-paced. This isn't necessarily a downside but can make sessions drag on, especially if you're hoping for quicker gameplay. The game’s strategic depth is impressive, offering plenty for hardcore strategy enthusiasts to explore. Graphics-wise, it's visually decent—nothing too exciting, but solid. The same applies to the music, which provides standard strategy game ambiance without standing out. One notable aspect is the way the world map works. Unlike in Heroes, where resource nodes are captured by visiting them, Age of Wonders III ties resources to city boundaries that expand as a city’s population grows. This system means that as long as a node falls within your city’s borders, you’ll benefit from it, making it harder for opponents to seize your resources without capturing the city itself. However, this does leave many nodes and buildings on the map feeling redundant, as they're unusable unless claimed through city expansion. The campaign stories, while serviceable, are generally forgettable. For a Heroes veteran, adjusting to Age of Wonders III’s unique mechanics, particularly around city management and resource collection, may take some time. Overall, it's a good strategy game—not outstanding, but solidly enjoyable for fans of the genre.

Шикарная игра, я играл в неё на релизе и прошёл ещё тогда, мне очень понравилось. Сейчас перепрошёл в 2024 и всё ещё шикарно.

Unbalanced sandbox vs a campaign that disregards the mechanics of the game exclusively. It's not really very fun. It's as if the devs who made the game and those who decided how the player interacts with the game had zero communication.

Combat is so insanely unrewarding and unfun, units take so long to build compared to buildings that you need to not fall behind, losing a single unit is basically a reset. No real power scaling, every unit feels just as useless and prone to being instantly killed as every other if you make the most minute mistake. Just generally awful

Лично для меня одна из самых любимых стратегических игр. Играл во все части кроме 4.Так что опыт какой ни какой есть. Любителям похаговых стратегий рекомендую!

Brilliant game if it works and doesn't crash - that's rare :/ I've yet to play a single random map to completion
