Summary
“The story begins in the early days of Earth, when a fragile balance of peace exists between all ancient races. The introduction of humans into this utopian world marks the beginning of violent and bloody times. In its quest to expand and destroy, this new race lays waste to the ruling of Elfin court. From the rubble, two factions emerge: the vengeful Cult of Storms and the peace-loving Keepers.” This caption placed on the cover of Age of Wonders describes the game’s story line to a tee, even if it is a little confusing.
As a role-playing game, Age of Wonders is almost as typical as they come. Combat is turn based, although you can cut your battles short by starting in automatic mode, so you don’t have to do all the thinking yourself, you lazy people! The game takes place over vast environments, such as clearings. Forests, dungeons and cities. Within these locations you must use your wits, cast spells, and formulate strategies to outdo your opponents: the people of the dark side.
With all the described features, a fully editable map, and Internet play, Age of Wonders is a game with many options, allowing you make the most out of your IQ.
