Age of Wonders 3

hahah.

well thanks to the joys of on-board Wi-Fi I’m now going to read more about EotFS.

And maybe brainstorm a more memey name for such a game.

Did you never play it?

It was released in 1998.

We got our first computer in 1999 and I started playing games then.

AoW1.
Thief.
Battlezone.
Pharaoh demo
Starcraft

My academic work ethos suffered that year.

That’s also when Eminem blew up.

I was 14.

tldr: EoFS was before my time.

1996 actually.

You sir, are today’s MVP. I was just urging my brother to pick this up so we could do a PBEM game.

Happy to spread the love.

What is up with GOG’s pricing on this? Deluxe edition plus expansions almost $30 Aussie dollars with 50% discounts on the expansions and 75% on the deluxe editions…this is more than twice the price at say WinGameStore.

There’s also "You get free Wallet funds (our Fair Price Package) to offset the regional pricing. ", but it’s usually too much clicking and too much math for me, despite how much better it is (to me) to have a non-steam copy.

Oh really? I didn’t know that.

I have to say Steam’s pricing for New Zealand is pretty damn generous…even with games listed at the same US dollar price as Steam on other sites, the NZ converted price on Steam is almost always cheaper.

Here you go. Try it out and LOVE IT LIKE THE REST OF US.

I shall…

after the convention maybe?

I’d love to have another look at EotFS with the reality mod but I no longer have a CD drive in my computer :(
The potential of this game always excited me.

Just use the link I posted, it has the full game.

LAN game with developers. To my great surprise I’m still in this.

And doing alright.

We put a 2 minute timer though, which makes things hectic and hilarious.

Pic of a certain developer thinking his next move through.

I’m red.

Sikbok is blue.

We’re allied.

Sure I’d be utter fodder, but if I were there I’d want to play too.

How long till Triumph’s new game reveal?

Tomorrow.

We had to stop the game. Time ran out.

With the mods is the AI competent? The AI was timid as I don’t think that it could deal with all the features loaded into this game.

in AoW3 it still sees through stealth, but besides that I think the AI is actually very competent.
