  1. List of strategy or tactics games with random map generators or an unpredictable computer opponent

    Kohan: IS and Kohan: AG. Feel free to ignore Kohan 2, it feels like a Warcraft 3 clone even though it was released before it. The economy system is a bit unique: companies and buildings require gold for immediate expenditure plus upkeep costa such as stone, wood, iron and mana. A positive value...

  2. Spiderweb Spiderweb games

    Battle shaping in the 5th game is overpowered. In 2,3,4 go fire and magic for delicious vlish and gazers. Don't remember much about combat in 1. Also, in all games except maybe 1 and 5, Mental magic is overpowered and much better than any shaping, and so are agents. Cast Daze, and all enemies...

  3. Age of Wonders 3

    0.1 inches ? So no AI fixes for the first patch, nor balance fixes. Color me disappointed.

  4. Age of Wonders 3

    I know that, but there is a world of difference between the way heroes(haven't played versions after 4), disciples, or even older AoW games handled this(extra resources per turn, no fog of war/explored map, experience points for every traveled tile(Disciples), fast research, able to recruit more...

  5. Age of Wonders 3

You can play most maps two ways: rush the enemy as soon as possible(before the spawns begin to appear) or turtle and fight for every...

  6. Age of Wonders 3

    I see no reason to play this game over the aow:sm: - the AI is worse than the previous installments, actually its downright crappy: - he can spawn hero stacks and level 4 stacks from the fog of war EACH TURN. - banishes enchantments each turn with no chance of failure. - summons high level...

  7. Age of Wonders 3

    Gah, the AI is dumb as a nut. if I turtle it starts spamming level 4 units and hero stacks out of nowhere every turn even if he has only one dumb village. if I rush I get no fun because the AI is too dumb to provide a challenge in early turns. And I hate rushing in single player. It cheats...
