age of wonders 3 campaign mission 4 tips

Wizards (or rather 'Leaders') are back to being frontline units (casting from outside the battle costs twice as much), but are much safer from sudden death and empire failure.

The gameplay of AoW3 mixes many aspects of the prior installments. Really, it was inevitable considering the type of game this is.

Set many years after the events of Shadow Magic, the world is going haywire again as the traditional, tree-hugging Elven Court and industrious Commonwealth head to war. The third official installment of the Age of Wonders series, Age of Wonders 3 is a turn-based strategy game released by Triumph Studios on March 31, 2014.

If you're unlucky like me and got a bugged game (as above where one of my hero's spawned without the correct level and no gear), you can use the debug mode cheats to level him up to the correct level Otherwise winning is nearly impossible as a warlord is fairly useless against a mage / rogue combo until he gets some levels in him.- Merlin, the trailer of Age of Wonders 3. You'll need flyers to get over the mountains quickly and intercept the squads as they try to cross the mountains in small platoons (size 2-3) before they form up. The CPU will send mostly walking units with some squads of flyers. You can found a city at the center of the seals, not really obvious why you'd want to do this, since it doesn't have a ton of production and takes quite a while to produce anything you'd want defending the seals But there it is.įlying units are VERY handy with defending the seals. Once you have all of your cities vassaled / conquered, capture the seals The seals don't spawn elementals very often, but you do have to stand on them A cherub is enough, but you'll want some squads to hold them against the CPU while it tries in vain to run away from conquering your main city all the way across the map and send all of its troops to the seals. The computer doesn't know how to play your other opponent (Goblin Rogue) very well, so you can functionally ignore him, just defend your cities then build up your conquered cities to provide troops for holding the seals. The computers knows how to play a wizard REALLY well and so he'll overwhelm you with wave after wave of units if you're not VERY aggressive in conquering his cities. Don't feel too bad if you butt your head up against it and can't beat it the first time. No skill involved, just having to repeat it until you get it right. This is one of those campaigns where you just have to 'know' what to do by multiple play-throughs.
