What is the most strange thing to me is that AoW3 was made by the same team, by the same people, who once made AoW1-2-2,5. What adds insult to injury is that civ5 was pretty bad for the civ series too.

It's the same thing that happened to later HoMM games, they totally failed to preserve and continue the HoMM3 aesthetic, and ended up with hideously sparkly generic art. I think AoW3 did some things well, and had some okay new ideas, but I can't stand the way it looks like some polished, artstyle-free civ5 clone. If the goal of this campaign was to discourage me from continuing, well, mission accomplished I'd say.Southern: I agree. At that point I realized I was experiencing more frustration than fun, and just uninstalled. On top of that, the AI also seems able to see the whole map and always knows exactly where your troops are and which cities are undefended, and will always try to capture them. Meanwhile I barely had enough money to build some tier II units. He also had a couple of other army stacks also with tier II and III units, and about 5 towns. Around turn 13 my scouts found the enemy's main army, featuring tier II and III units plus a cannon. I played on "normal" figuring it would be a decent challenge since I'd played some strategy games in the past. If you're new to the game, that's the way to go, I'd say.

Then the game shouldn't recommend that you play the Elven Court campaign, which is what it tells you as soon as you reach the main menu.īut the elven campaign is very easy and a good tutorial to the game, IMO - if you play at easy difficulty.
