Super Spiel. Kann ich nur empfehlen.
Good game, gets better the more you lean into the RPG side and less into the hardcore 4X. Lots of fun ways to build your faction and live out whatever power fantasy you dream up, from undead lich king, to holy avenger, to cloud gathering storm dragon. Serial DLCs all add a lot but are expensive :/ Nevertheless never regretted getting any of them.
Great game. Would only recommend getting DLC's that mean something to you. They're very build specific and not worth the price if you don't plan on using that build often.
nach über 200h fühl ich mich immernoch wien Anfänger. Geil! :D
I have not enough praise to heap on this. This is one of the cleanest products that Paradox and its affiliates has produced. The DLCs are fun too. Dragon and Strategy lovers, this is a must have. You will kick yourself if you pass this one up and see others play it. The only drawback I'm running into so far is a crash that periodically happens during the ai turn order, but the autosave prevents much if any progress loss. Near seamless multiplayer, even on the largest maps with all 3 map layers. I am seriously in love. I hope someone makes a planescape mod so we can have like.. 12+ something map layers for super long epic campaigns. That'd be wild.
it feels like full game got partioned in 20 dlc for 30 usd each
It was a fun magic-themed civ clone until it started crashing every couple turns. Wasted too long re-installing things and starting new games/reverting to previous saves. Game might work for you, might not.
All the best stuff from AoW3 made even better and removed the bad stuff :D
Great game. My favorite at the moment. Im sure ill put a few thousand hours into this. Keep up the updates and good work. Thank you.
Ein gutes Spiel aber die DLC Preise sind extrem.
