![]() ![]() No Forge, despite numerous ongoing requests from players, they actually chose to LOCK the forge, removing a key point of customizability from the game. Instead of a Leader, on every map leadership is constantly changing hands from hero to hero which means you're constantly having to change your strategy on from map to map and hurts the continuity of the game. There is very little focus on magic or spells, instead the narrative is that magic is being used to power your machines, which you will almost never have time to build. ![]() They added Juggernaughts and other high level units, which you will almost never use unless they're given to you, because on most maps, you simply don't have time to build them, because you're in a land rush. Gameplay in AOW3 is boring, every map is a land rush, if you don't RUSH the map the AI will Rush and you'll end up surrounded very quickly.ĭespite their best efforts, to 'balance' AOW3 by removing the item forge you can still cheese the AI by filling your cities with cannons, using firespells and then letting them kill themselves on your walls and then simply mowing them down. In AOW in the desert maps, you actually heard the desert, in AOW Shadow you actually heard the sounds echoing, there doesn't seem to be any of that in AOW3. The Music is repetitive and uninteresting, doesn't change from map to map and there is very little environmental background noise when compared to AOW1 and 2. It's terrain, it's drab, boring, and lifeless. Visually it's much worse than AOW 1, 2, Endless Legend, Humankind, or pretty much any of it's competitors in the same space. I've spent a long long time considering this, it just does. ![]() That being said, AOW3 just sucks when compared to it's predecessors, it's competitors, and even it's Sci-Fi brother Planetfall. I've played AOW 1, 2, Shadowmagic, and AOW Planetfall for literally thousands of hours, I have every item in AOW Planetfall and almost every achievement. You're a completely different character from map to map with a completely different spell book, a random assortment of items, and even worse, the character you grew comfortable with on the previous map has disappeared. So if you spend the time to research your spells, build items to outfit your characters, and explore all the EPIC dungeons for the loot, you're rewarded for that later on.ĪOW3 has none of that. With a campaign you're supposed to build your character and expand your abilities more and more and face greater and greater challenges with those expanded abilities. ![]()
