Amazing story, good mechanics - simple and elegant. What I like a lot is the fact that the game's different features manage to increase the complexity of the gameplay exponentially not linearly - an uncommon feat. I like the combination of styles and lore drawn from various fantasy worlds, many elements seem rooted in generic fantasy tropes, but the result is far from trite. It is not exactly beginner-friendly, and if you don't know what you are doing the campaigns could seem nearly impossible even on normal difficulty, but once you learn the ropes it becomes fairly straightforward to devise an effective strategy. The story, despite the lack of cinematics or immersive cutscenes, is very rich. I particularly enjoy the mission briefings—the artwork and dialogue before each mission are amazing. The voice acting is incredible—some of the best and most expressive I’ve ever encountered in a game. The visuals are also stunning—many images are worthy to be put in a frame. Despite the fact that AOW3 is a sequel, its story is simple to comprehend and doesn't really require any past knowledge to understand it at a meaningful level. Some missions are quite long and way more difficult than others and some could be repetitive, but nothing too bland. Depending on who you ask, this might be the best AOW game, even better than AOW4. I am not really sure witch is more amazing, but it is certainly the most elegant, and it delivers the story in the best way, witch weigh heavy for any game. In both aspects, it is far superior to AOW4. Age of Wonders 3 is iconic to the 4X genre. The game is very good, if you have some patience, like strategy, empire building, high fantasy and a good story it's a must-play.

It's pretty fun if you're into these kinds of games. I'm not, and it was still entertaining. Whatever that means. 7.8🧚♀️/10🧌

Since I absolutely loath AOW4 and all of its lorebreaking and forced parity etc. I have come back to this old and dear friend. One of my favorite games of all time, probably in the top 3. It is still a great game to play! Highly recommend for new players!

I like this game, played it a lot and I like the mechanics and the game play, but oh boy there is a FANTASTIC amount of cheating by the AI. Superlative, overarching, incredible amount of cheating. Literally in 1 turn, from having no other AI army around, 4 full stacks literally materialise next to my 2 partial stacks. (I have full view of that area, there are no tunnels in the region) That particular AI player is 30+ hexes away from the closest city. None of the units have stealth, none of the stacks have a Hero. I would play that battle normally and lose if there was any remote chance that the AI player had discovered me normally and had any of those units. but it hadn't. At this point in time I use one of the player cheats and just give the lot of them the middle finger.
