I have harbor and master guild,but they didn't work.

What is your favorite faction/connination and why (i.e. humans, frostlings, etc. and also technocrats, mages, etc.)?

(I'm probably not the first to ask)

Hello everyone.
I'm writing here after seeing a couple of series from blackarrow. Still I find myself in serious trouble - especially at the beginning of maps. ( I like random maps ).

it seems my units are a lot squishy, even infantry and the AI is a lot aggressive most of the time.
I can't seem to understand how to positionate units, and I always end up with a stack beaten up or a unit killed.

Every suggestion is appreciated!

Thank you!

Building roads on a tale with a forest removes that forest. As elf I have a bonus morale in a forest and I move through a forest for 4 movement points and other races move for 6. Road decreases to 3 and later to 2 but 4 for elfes without a road is still not bad. What do you think about not building roads at all in my territory and to build roads only outside? My enemies would have problems to get through my forests and I would have a bonus fighting in my land?

Im sorry if this is not the right place to ask abt this, but i dont know where i should ask, and thought maybe i can ask here since this is related to AOW...

So basicly some abilities costs more than 10 skill points like spell casting which costs 20, but everytime my hero level up, i only get 10 skill points and never got more tgan 10, is there anything arround this?

I tough Elven Court was hard on hard, but Golden Realm... Oh God... Theocrat just bombard with Evangelists with an non miss conversion and lots of Shrines... In the other side an Draconian Sorcereres with mages who aoe stun. I rushed like hell. 3rd try to pass this mission an nothing... This game is very challenging, but, debuff of enemies always seen more accuracy. Three evangelists converted three gold medals of mine in row, no miss. I always try to run without load scam, but this game just made me rethink.

Hey quick question about migration. I just conquered a minor undead city and was thinking about migrating the population to my faction. Problem is the game did not give me that option. It this because the city was an independent and not part of one of the main factions, or am I missing something?

What you guys do when rushing lots of cities and getting rushed back by single units? I playing the last mission of Elven Court Campaign and getting lots of territory quickly but losing it quickly. Do you guys wait for absorb, vassal or walls?

Hello. I am new to the game. So far I have been playing with the Golden Realms dlc and without the Eternal Lords. I encountered neutral cities with undead units. I counquered one and I can only recruit simple warriors and archers. Could you tell me more about those cities? What is the type of that city or should we say holding. It doesn't function like a normal city right? I am gonna turn on the Eternal Lords dlc later to have more fun exploring the new content while already knowing how to play.

Im playing Elf Court Campaign on Hard and... God damn, on 2nd map Orc are sending Manticore Riders on turn 30 and Goblin are sending piles of Shadow Stalkers and Succubus and a lots of debuff spells on my cities that take ages to disjunct. What n doing wrong? What should i focus? Production, money, mana, research, expand?

I tried to rush, but the mtf keep sending Shadow Stalkers and Succubus to capture undefended cities and my army cant barely deal with one Shadow.

heroes
I am playing with 5 mods
^(PBEM and single player balance)
^(More colors for coat of arms)
^(Chivalrous Intentions)
^(Age of wardrobe extended)
^(Triumphant heroes)

I have all DLC

These were summoned using the archdruid summoning spells

If I'm missing anything there please let me know
Anyways, I'm having a strange case where baby animals are missing the evolve trait. So far I've had a hunter spider baby and a baby shock snake appear without the evolve trait. It is simply missing from the info panel for the unit. Does anyone know why this is happening?

So far ive been enjoying this game the most on sorcerer since i can have my character summon units while i dedicate towns to building mostly income.

I want to play the other champion types but am having trouble balancing making units and making buildings. Tips?

Is it Limit Break? What, if any AI enhancement mods do you use? I am about ready to start installing mods for AI enhancements, just not sure which one to pick...I have heard some bad things about Limit Break, that it causes the AI to go for only settlers and 0 military, anyone who's tried it and care to share their experience?

I played the scenario "White Mountains" (I think it's called) and was abit worried because it is an Empire Building map which the AI typically doesn't handle well (usually they'll settle 2-3 cities and can't keep up with the player), but to my great surprise (and delight!) the AI players went completely bonkers and founded some 7-8 cities EACH!

What resulted was probably the most challenging map that I've played in AoW3. In my experience, this never happens in random maps so I think this may have been map-specific. No idea but it was alot of fun and I'd like the AI to behave like this more often (really aggresively expanding and also producing tons of units. Had to beat back army after army of T3s..)

Currently looking but not finding anything and I heavily doubt I will, but figured I'd ask here.

Hi. I've played through the first 5 missions of the Elven Court campaign but was thinking of taking a break from it (as it bores me to death..) and try the Frostling campaign from Eternal Lords expansion.

Now I'm wondering, when does this campaign take place? I assume it takes place after the other campaigns, so I'm alittle concerned about spoilers.. Should I finish Elven Court first?

Created a High Elf female Druid and there are alot of black areas on her model.. Same thing with the Sorceror, but I haven't noticed this on any other character model.

Anyone else had this problem? I've tried googling but can't find anything about this.

This may be a dumb question but I can't seem to find out what the latest patch version is or a patch history anywhere? Reason I'm asking is because I've started to suspect that my game may not be patched properly.. Anyone know where I could find this info/download patches? I don't have access to my computer atm so I cannot check what version I have but it's 1.8-something.

Hi, got this game last week and quickly jumped into a random map vs 4 AI Lords which posed absolutely zero challenge at all, so for the next map I went me vs 5 AI Kings...which poses no challenge at all...

Basically, the AI will threaten me in the beginning, but will never attack or declare war...after about 20 turns I have a decent enough army and then, suddenly they all want to make peace with me despite No Allied Victory being on and they are given Evil alignement skills. Which they never use and never stray from Neutral...is the AI in this game really this garbage?

Does anyone know what years does age of wonder games take place I understand the first 3 took place during a medieval time and probably getting the tech of flint in steel weapons but trying to figure out what exactly they all take place and the sci-fi one to play them in chronological timeline order

Title. It's very annoying having to do every single fight yourself because the AI is bad. The alternative is loading after every single quick combat, which is equally annoying.

I own all DLC, beaten all the campaigns, beaten every scenario against emperor AIs, and gotten all the achievements not related to multiplayer.

What else can I get out of this game? Are there community scenarios or mods I must check out? Or is it time to consider AOW4? (I’ve tried Planetfall several times, but it just doesn’t do it for me).

So I'm currently what I believe to be the tutorial and I'm trying to summon the Grimbeak Crows, I've all ready prepared the spell but I am unable to actually use it. When I click on the icon from the bottom right, it says I have to "Select Hexagon on or next to friendly City, Fortress or Hero. I have tried to do so but the only thing that happens is me moving or nothing at all. Please help.

Edit: I did figure it out. I just wasn't clicking the right Hexagon I guess.

And tbh I can't figure out which ones better?? Like idk why but 4 feels weird in a way i can't describe but looks amazing meanwhile 3 feels better but looks aged.

Can someone explain to me if ones better or why I should play one above the other?

How did I get in this circumstance? Well bought 3 when I launched forgot about it in steam library until recently I bought 4 and realized I never touched 3 so played 3 then played 4 and now I'm torn on which one to play.

One thing to not though is I have all DLC of 4 and none for 3.

Would "Inflict Curse" be applied first? Thanks.

Hi, me and a friend recently got AOW3 and both love the game. Usually however our games end with one of us hunting down the other players last city, be it on the surface or underground.
For our next game we want to have only our starting city each to prevent the end game time sink and when we've lost our one and only city, then it's game over.
Can this be done through a mod, I can't find any settings to tweek to give us this 'deathmatch mode' tia :)

Just bought the game with all DLC is this game beginner friendly? Is the tutorial in game good or should i watch yt guides?

What's the icon supposed to be? It's targeting something, but what is it?

https://age-of-wonders-3.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Inflict_Noxious_Vulnerability

there its a way or mod to balance the game where dont become a hard rock paper scissor, some times my unit get one shoted, and the randomes can become ridiculous help

Theocrats are absolute beasts (somewhat boring) with their global healing and conversion - you get powerful armies all over a map while enemies are still using Tier I units.

Yet I see most people recommend sorcerers or rogues.
