Alright so i bought this game 10 years ago, back then i played 2 hours, thought it was amusing, but then i moved onto the next thing, but 10 years later as at 28, i tried this game again and it hit differently you see because these days i really enjoy strategy games, be it realtime like warcaft3 1v1 and age of empires 2, but i love being able to pause a strategy game to sit back relax, maybe smoke a joint and enjoy the strategic process of making decisions across a battlefield or worldmap.. So then as a fan of strategy games, discovering the Age of Wonders series is just an absolute blessing. This game has entertained me and has immersed me into this wonderful fantasy world and i think if you are someone who wants to be immersed then this game is great, I played 2 goblin campaigns and i had just the best time ever.

This game used to play on Linux. I have tried enabling Linux Scout, forcing proton, but it now just doesn't run anymore after the dumb 3rd party launcher loads. I am trying to play an offline game. I don't have time to troubleshoot these sorts of issues anymore. Sad that it no longer works....

I tried to like it. I want to like it. It just isn't really worth it and I got it on sale for 90%. I just cannot recommend it.

Nothing will ever top the first Age of Wonders, but this one is pretty good, certainly better than the second.

The thing about this game is that it is boring. There isn't much here, and everything takes forever to get done. I was a huge fan of the previous games, and I don't remember them being to uneventful.
