Description

Age of Wonders III is the highly awaited follow-up to the celebrated award-winning strategy franchise. Blending Empire Building, Role Playing, and Warfare into one compelling package, Age of Wonders III stands as the definitive turn-based fantasy strategy experience for both longtime fans and newcomers stepping into the series for the first time!

Forge an Empire That Reflects Your Vision
  • Command your forces as one of 6 RPG-style leader classes: Sorcerer, Theocrat, Rogue, Warlord, Archdruid, or the technology-driven Dreadnought.
  • Unlock formidable class-exclusive skills to strengthen both your growing empire and your military capabilities.
  • Align yourself with allies drawn from six core races — Humans, High Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, Goblins, and Draconians — alongside mysterious fantastical monster dwellings.

Discover and Dominate a Breathing Fantasy Realm
  • Venture through a richly detailed and vibrant fantasy world featuring more than 50 distinct location types brimming with treasure waiting to be claimed.
  • Grow your territory by establishing new settlements, brokering deals with monstrous allies, and seizing control of precious resources.
  • Harness world-shaking magical forces and reshape the very landscape to suit your grand ambitions.

Engage in Deep and Rewarding Tactical Combat
  • Enlist legendary heroes, arm them with enchanted weapons, and dispatch them to lead your armies onto the battlefield.
  • Overwhelm your foes through the intricate 3D turn-based Tactical Combat System.
  • Sharpen your strategic mind — breach city fortifications, execute flanking maneuvers, and master the hundreds of unique abilities at your army's disposal.

Experience Everything Age of Wonders III Has to Offer!
  • Dive into an expansive single-player story campaign, fully playable from two opposing perspectives within an epic conflict.
  • Generate limitless scenarios with the built-in random map generator for endless replayability.
  • Battle rivals in online multiplayer skirmishes supporting up to 8 players simultaneously.

Please be aware that:
  • Level Editing Tools are included as a courtesy for the community. These tools may carry different system requirements than the base Age of Wonders III game, are not covered by technical support, and are available in English only.
  • Coop: Both random maps and standalone scenarios support cooperative play through player alliances competing against computer-controlled opponents.
  • Local Coop: Random maps and standalone scenarios can also be enjoyed locally via "Hot Seat" mode on a single computer, with player alliances facing off against AI opponents.

You don't have to make a triumph account, i've got 75 hours and never signed up, you just click play at the bottom and start playing. I love this game, but it's very hard.
