The thing that should not be
Anyone playing this? I am and I am loving it even with some tiny issues it has.
It beats the recent heroes of might and magic games to a bloody pulp.

I only played shadow magic. I love heroes but they screwed the new ones up so badly.
 
It's top of my wish list at the moment - hoping to grab it soon. I spent many, many hours lanning AoW II and Shadow Magic with my friends - the Brave New World Mod was also a brilliant addition to the game and added even more hours of replayability.

There aren't as many races as shadow magic in this one but this is a lot more beefy than shadow magic I think. Also no more over powered flying units. That spoilt the game for me. Could decimate armies with a succubus in shadow magic.
 
Ok after watching TB's WTF vid all my expectations for this game seem to have been met and exceeded in many cases. Can't wait to get hold of the game.

the only thing that bugs me about this game is the damn ai building beetle riders in mass. Thats all they seem to build but it doesn't take away from the game being really fun. :)

Playing the campaign enjoying it a lot more than shadow magics one.
 
It's a good game, but to me it feels a bit like a watered down Eador: Masters of the Broken World. They both play very similar, but Eador has a lot more depth, especially on when it comes to heroes.

It's a pity, because normally I would spend hours playing a game like AoW3, but Eador has spoiled me.
 
I'm playing it like a boss! ...Not really, still trying out the different factions and getting owned anything past knight difficulty lol.

I dig the combat way more than HoMM series. Hexes ftw!
Exploration and dungeon raiding is sweet!

The city building aspect seems rather bland though.
There's isn't really management like building your own farm or mine. Just plonk your settler in the middle of where resources are.
The builder can only build roads, watch towers and forts!(?) :eek:

I don't mind that at all. The economy is already a bit to powerful after a good couple of turns :p But it is more combat focused and that is where the tasty part of the game is. The combat is indepth

I hope they add more races to the game. If you havent noticed yet but the archones(forgot how to spell them) seem to be wiped out from what I could gather. Not a spoiler though they don't mention them in the story at the moment(only on level 2 as the empire)

Have spent most of the time playing on random maps trying out the different race+ leader combo.
I'm digging the healing leader + Draconion (can't spell to save Thannis's life) combo fast healing + healing perk = one battle after another :D

Only did the first mission. On the Reskar mission at the moment.

On a side note there are other races that you can capture and produce like giants and undead and so on.

Ooohh.. still have to check that out.
I had a quest where some independent faction wants me to rid an undead. The thing slaughtered 4 out of the 6 squads in my main army :eek:

Damn, haven't touched the game since the weekend. Want me gaming time!
