It is the fourth game in the Age of Wonders series, following Age of Wonders, Age of Wonders II: The Wizard's Throne and Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic released in 1999, 2002, and 2003 respectively.
Maybe I'll give the Gray Guard thing another try it's weird flip-flopping in order to remain neutral, but it has its advantages.Age of Wonders III is a 2014 4X turn-based strategy video game developed and published by Dutch developer Triumph Studios. Aesthetically I like the water element, but I've been disappointed with the spell choices it brings, so I've moved away from that. I almost always choose Explorer or Expander, and I don't like settling for being an adept at anything if I can have mastery instead. Right now I'm playing as a creation master (which clashes with my Rogue class), just because I haven't tried it before. I'm all over the place when it comes to specializations. Odds are I'll eventually land on either Warlord or Sorcerer. I recently had a great game as a Theocrat, though, and I tend to automatically drift toward good anyway, so maybe that will end up being my favorite class after all (I don't like the fact that the Shrine of Smiting is a machine, though also, there's way too much Judeo-Christian imagery in the Theocrat class for my liking). Theocrat, Rogue, and Necromancer all seem to be kinda tricky to play and thematically they seem to each go with a particular alignment (Theocrat with good, Rogue and Necromancer with evil), which seems restrictive to me. I can probably rule out the Dreadnought and Archdruid, because I don't like machines or wild animals that much. I'd been teetering between Sorcerer and Warlord, but right now I'm trying a Rogue game again. I know flying units rule, but I only like dealing with small numbers of them, at least until later in the game.
And I'd like to explore what can be done with a navy on an islands map (I get the impression navies are only marginally useful, but we'll see). Thematically it seems like kind of a boring choice, but I really like the cavalry orientation-the extra mobility and charge bonus. Lately I'm gravitating toward the humans. I've put about 800 hours into it, but I'm still trying things out and getting a feel for all that's in it.
I've only been playing AoW3 since last September.
