I would love to see some unique faceplates handed out to the top placements at the end of a season, Nothing like some internet swag.
Approved. |
Oh, on the contrary i think the German Ostheer sniper is better now since all the early game USSR units are a lot worse at long-range.
Though im just thinking theoretically here. I'l guess i shall try it out when im playing more often and comeback later on with some feedback. |
Draw a blood eagle on him. (People that watch Vikings will understand)
Oh, and ban them please. |
I dreamt i was rank 18 in both factions tonight. Oh the horror. D: |
Cataclaw showing off his HONK HONK abilities. Awesome unit wipes and aggressive play. |
Everytime i go outside of my apartment i think "ITS FREEZING HEEEERE" |
Hail Nateums, Slayer of Cats |
I feel like im being pointed at here, HAHA.
Im a competitive player by nature unless i screw around. When i am playing seriously i play with a strategy that i know that is solid and works in pretty much every situation, with no hard-counters against it hence i started going 5 grens because i wanted a very mobile force, and simply because the MG42's in top ranked play might block off an area for some time, but it can also sit there, be stationary and be of barely any use at all, a waste of manpower. And if it does get in the Soviets hands it can fuck my game over so i decide to barely, very very rarely ever build one when Grenadiers can do the same job, but also bleed manpower instead of just forcing a retreat.
Meta-games are ever changing. Remember when 2x MG42's were the standard? Grenadiers are so popular because they are sooo god damn worth the manpower cost. And lets be fair, most people tune in to streams in this community just to chat & interact with the streamer. 80% of my viewers atleast doesnt give a flying fuck about the game usually. The game is being worked on and i wouldn't jump the ship as of yet calling the game "dead" most people are just on a break due to the horrible balance in the game. |
You're comparing games based on IGN's score? lawl But if you are really into such numbers, IGN was the only one reviewer to give it below 8.0. Here you go: http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/age-of-wonders-iii/critic-reviews
AoW3 is just amazing, great tactical combat, lots of abilities to both units and heroes, very distinctive classes, aggressive AI, great visuals and soundtrack, with even more content (races and classes) to come in the future. You won't be wrong with it if you have any interest in turn-based strategies, especially fantasy themed and focused on combat, exploration and expansion.
No, im comparing the games from my own experience and adding on IGN's rating. |
I recommend Fallen Enchantress with the expansion instead, better AI and more features. http://www.elementalgame.com/legendary-heroes
IGN gave Age of Wonders 7.1
IGN gave Fallen Enchantress 8.0 |
