    Okay, i've played turn-based games for nearly 10 years consistantly, and i had my hopes set high after AoW2:SM.

    Pro's: Better graphics then previous games Cons: Where to start... Less units Less Strategy Less Spells Clunky Interface Limited Replayability A LOT less races Less items Less "unique" world feel Smaller Maps So, 'im sorry to say, but with all these steps backward    Okay, i've played turn-based games for nearly 10 years consistantly, and i had my hopes set high after AoW2:SM.

    Pro's: Better graphics then previous games
    Cons: Where to start...
    Less units
    Less Strategy
    Less Spells
    Clunky Interface
    Limited Replayability
    A LOT less races
    Less items
    Less "unique" world feel
    Smaller Maps

    So, 'im sorry to say, but with all these steps backward i cannot rate this above a 3. NO game should remove elements when making a sequel. They destroyed the fun of the series by reducing the amount of choices. If you want a game with so many possibilities your not bound by "he built this unit, so I HAVE to build this to counter it" then steer clear from this game and go back to AoW2.    … Expand

    If you played through the campaign in Age of Wonders III and you are looking to get a jolt of fresh energy out of the game, then the Golden Realms expansion should have what you are looking for.

    Age of Wonders 3 combined with this expansion is definitely worth buying now.

    Golden Realms packs everything that you would want to have added to the base game: a better late gameplay experience, quests that offer milestones as the game progresses, letting you know how everyone fares, some truly interesting spells, and a unique new faction to pilot.
