Departing from the medieval fantasy worlds of its predecessors, Planetfall sees the Star Union collapsing and six factions emerging from the wreckage. The answer can be seen in Age of Wonders: Planetfall. "Aesthetics are nice but each faction offers a different gameplay experience as well." But the question is: What would happen if Triumph shored up all the other elements and improved them dramatically? It’s quite heavily reminiscent of Heroes of Might and Magic – the heroes and their armies are the stars with proper use of their abilities (and resource management) winning out in the end. Age of Wonders 3 isn’t quite 4X but there’s a significant amount of exploration, expansion and exploitation with a strong emphasis on extermination. It's just too difficult defending 3 spread apart dwellings for 30 turns against 4 AIs who declare war on you.In the realm of 4X titles, whether it’s turn-based epics like Endless Space 2 or grand strategy exploits like Stellaris, Triumph Studios’ Age of Wonders franchise occupies an interesting spot. Sadly, I went brute force on this mission after having wasted 150 turns tryig to setup a diplomatic victory. I'm well aware of why you get the free techs my comment was more to the actual using of them to turn the tide of battle. Imo it would be better without the water (and instead of having space/void or something you cant cross so you have to actually use the teleporters) To put it in perspective: my commander could oneshot all of their armies (was riding a Wraith Tank as well incidentaly) and I still went for a Doomsday Victory. Wraith Tank is an option but it still feels to slow. I suppose for a standard victory you really probably want to focus on a floating or flying unit before you start any wars, which I didn't do, the wraith tank maybe? I played every other campaign map (except I haven't finished Mora Secundis yet) on advanced and usually beat them in under 70.
