Age of Wonders II rus

The initial races will be High Elves, Humans, Dwarves, Draconians Goblins and Orcs

Flanking is what we call it when a unit is attacked from behind or the side in a battle. The unit will take extra damage, then turn to face the unit that attacked it rather than retaliating. This means players need to pay a lot more attention to positioning and allows weaker units to destroy stronger ones using pincer attacks.

Да, зарулит. С другой стороны, возрастает глубина тактики: придётся аккуратнее подходить к расстановке отрядов, прикрывать тылы и, наоборот, совершать обходные манёвры.

We have a few medals more than we used to (4 total to be exact, at the current moment (I’m being pretty careful here… nothing is 100% final until we ship the game, imo )).

The lower the tier the easier it is to level them up. There are others ways of getting xp apart from dealing the killing blow.

Предлагаю присоединиться тем кому не всё равно и/или тем у кого есть идеи как эти проблемы могли бы быть решены в АоВ 3

Can’t promise yet, but if we’ve got some man-power available we’ll bring explorable dungeons back. We didn’t add them for AoW2/SM as some people thought the combats in these dungeons could be a bit long winded (finding that large enemy hiding in the darkness) and its quite some work especially in terms of art and getting the walls right for ranged attack and vision.

Regardless of this, AoW3 has a lot of flavor to TC maps with locations like ancient ruins having neat terraced battlefields and a large selection of spell-like effects originating from structures including things like hazard hexes.

For AoW3 we have chosen to keep the focus on a larger amount of pre-placed wonderous structures, with player constructing cities and forts in order to claim them once located and conquered. We also keep a large amount of terrain modification spells with road building and some classes like dreadnaught having the ability for some additional constructs.

I can say we will have a new mechanic where we will allow players to harness the strength of the city’s population. It comes at a price however: normal civilians don’t fight for gold or honor, but can be rallied to fight for their freedom..

Picture it like this:

You are a Rogue by class. This means you have lied, cheated, and used extortion to gain a powerful empire. In your image, you have units that have trained themselves to be nasty fighters with dirty tricks. Your empire is shaped by your class.

You yourself can have chosen to study some specialization that let’s you cast certain spells, or maybe one that allows for faster expansion in some way.

These specializations are an addition to what you are able to research, and they can influence your empire a little, but not shape it the way your class does.

Limited to one specialization: Probably not.

“All upside”: ? What do you mean? Oh, like we have negative specializations to counter an extra positive choice? Like the traits in Shadow Magic? Yes, there won’t be negative ones, if you mean that.

Ehm, I think things along those lines [some specs have built in disadvantages like for example in AoWSM, playing Life magic spezialist had the downside of worsening evil race relations] will be likely, if not by design (to early to tell at this point) then by emergence in that two different things cancel each other out in some way, so the combination doesn’t work that well together (Example not taken from the game at all but just made up: think playing elves with forestry and having a specialization spell that removes forests).
