Age of Wonders

[DoctorHarte]

I was interested to see the game that BM's maps are based off of. It's currently downloading on Steam and looks like a fun strategy game. What are other people's reviews of the game/map editor?

I jut tried out the map editor; awesome! Was wondering if there's a download link for any of theBM maps in AoWEd form?

The game is extremely sweet.  Steam has a combo pack for the lot of Age of Wonders games that I'll be picking up soon when I'm done with the game I'm on now.  Its kind of similar to a Heroes of Might and Magic in a way but so much better in many ways.  Check the campaign out and you'll see

I've been playing a few scenarios to figure out the game first. It took forever for me to find out how to cast a spell! But a very good strategy game, similar to Battle for Wesnoth, but overall better. Still need to play around more with the map editor.

BoW is free though! And yes, that matters to me. I did join BM because I read that it's totally free.

BoW is tons of fun and free, but paying $6 for AoW and the map editor was very little. If it wasn't for the fact that BM is similar to AoW, I probably wouldn't have looked at it in the first place.

Whenever I play BoW, I do the RPGs.. so much fun to play 1 character with a few other players, buy epic weapons and powers, then crush hundreds of waves of enemies!

AoW is a fun game indeed. I think I actually like the first one more than the second one. Though the second one is nice too.

Just love humans with those musketeers Though my favorite race is elves cuz I played elves in the campaigns.

I love all the lore and the history of Age of Wonders. I really enjoyed the campaign and as turn based fantasy strategy goes, I'm not sure I've ever seen/found anything better. I enjoyed the next two Wonders games, but I always found myself coming back to the original. Definitely the best of the lot.

I'm disappointed that the one I downloaded from Steam was fully updated because that took away the sweet combo of First Strike, Lightning Strike, and Cold Strike.  It was always awesome to have a chance of making the guy attacking you lose either his turn with lightning or a smaller chance of being frozen for 3 turns with cold, but Heroes can no longer get First Strike
