I am actually hope that the AI of AoW3 is actually good despite AoW series is sort of notorious for terrible AI.

Civ V took 2 expansions to get decent AI which I hope AoW3 doesnt take that long.

It was still quite terrible as it is not actually partly intelligently coded but blatantly cheats.

Mass settling. Rush. Auto Solved. Mass Product. Rush. Auto Solved. Next Chapter.

This is AoW 3. Thats all.

When unit is theoretically INFINITE, why do i care to manual battle? And Which graphic is not better looking than King's Bounty or HoMM.
So, it turned out, Auto Solved IT ALL...

And, it become quickly bored...

It mixed Element from CIV and HoMM, but is not a attractive recipe.
in HoMM, u will try to manual battle, at least the hard one. Because some  valueable unit are LIMITED. Like Dragons... And the graphic looked way better (even its a 3 years old game)

in AoW 3, i dont see the reason why i should manual battle. Just gather alot unit, zerg rush, autos solved. And the Game is Auto Solved..

AoW 3 Compare CIV
The Tech Trees, City Development, Winning Conditions, Game Progress are far inferior compare to CIV
Just AoW 3 provide Turn-Based combat.

AoW 3 Compare HoMM/King's Bounty
Honestly, the battle is really not rewarding as HoMM/King's Bounty.
In Traditional Turn-Based, u get feeling with not just the Army Leader but every units with him. because its limited.
U carefully lead them through battles, healing them, upgrade them.
AoW 3 removed this. U can mass produce them anytime. So, let it be auto-solved. die 1, build 2.

I don't know why are you comparing games like Civ V with 2 great expansions or HoMM with 3 expansions while AoW3 is just released with zero expansion. Civ V or HoMM was not as good as it is today on release and both games were fairly terrible on release due to lack of features.

Not sure what difficulty you played on but auto resolve is a pretty terrible option. The tactical combat is fun so why auto resolve.

^ The Necromancer expansion will also be the last expansion for the game.

AoW3 is pretty much done, unless sales pick up from now onwards. Even Endless Legend had overtook them in terms of sales.

I guess thats their last unfinished content from the game's development.

wow... golden age just add halfling race and a map with new creature... eeh i donno look not worth the buy..

For Rm26, I think it is worth it.

The Naga race is quite unique while halfings, they can be great when you are using them or a pain in the ass when you fight them.

That is a lot of money for me but the the content was worth it.

Looks like AoW3 is pretty much over now with this kind of mentality. Wont be surprised that necromancer expansion is the last as everyone expected that it must have the same amount of content as Shadow Magic on day 1 then refuse to pay for more when the content is decent.

And considering it comes with so many content, RM10 is ridiculously low. Content creation isnt free to be honest.
