* Shadow Stalker – Incorporeal monster of elemental darkness. (Yes – we also have Dwarven Succubi with beards). * Succubus – Corrupted seductress built at cities from one of the main races. Receiving a good defense bonus against enemies, as they're not happy to be in your lands.
Since Goblins do not get a penalty for Blight, you can use Blight Empire for transforming your entire empire to blighted. After launch feel free to share strategies, let's plays, and any other AOW3 content the community will enjoy. As the game comes closer to launch we'll be sharing previews, videos, beta impressions and more. Specialization would be 2 destruction and 1 fire. Age of Wonders 3 is a fantastic game eagerly anticipated.
* Scoundrel – The dirt fighting henchmen of the Rogue with the ability to climb fortifications. Plus they're cheaper than the sorcerer class one. With focus into one of these aspects, your chosen class could probably obtain those big top-tier spells like Mass Panic. Spells like Nightwish can hide your cities, Plague of Brigands can cause a revolt in your enemies city to drain their armies numbers and best of all (correct me if I’m wrong), Mass Confusion spell from AoW2 seems to have made a transition to Mass Panic, causing enemies to randomly flee than attack each other, maybe it’s been nerfed considering the lack of willpower attribute details around and Dreadnaughts Destabilize Mana Core spell?Ĭompared to AoW2, Age of Wonders 3 lets you combine race, class, alignment and your magical sphere you specialise in to yield a unique mix of spells and units, mostly determined by your chosen class. The new Rogue class however takes a more stealthy approach by utilising poisons, agile units and mind-controlling spells to dictate their engagements in battle more easily than other classes we know about so far.Ĭhecking out the trailer above, I don’t know about you but my dreams of sexy nymphs from Age of Wonders 2 were crushed when I saw those fat big-pixeled Dwarven Succubi, I had a horrid nightmare just now thinking about them…flying over my wall, their beards wagging and wings flapping (shudders). With the new class mechanic coming there is more incentive for players to come out of their wizard towers and defeat your opponents more directly. The Theocrat, you see, is one of Age of Wonders III's (opens in new tab) new leader classes.
The Age of Wonders series has always had layers of depth to its tactics, both on the world map and in battle.
