In the other games you could generally just attack from the start and the enemy AI would retreat in panic which meant that you didn't usually need to defend. Also it can be super difficult because there are weird overpowered armies of undead that roam the world and force you to face them asap or get owned, and it also forces you to defend. AoW3 is probably the best overall because it has the most tactical options. But mostly I only like to play the Scenarios anyway so all of the games are good in that way. It gets worse then in each game afterwards. It makes the game more strategic, but for some people it is also less fun.Īlso the campaign in the first game is really good. So it is better to have 5 stacks each with their own hero boosting them, rather than 1 stack with 5 heroes that can kill anything. They can only get so strong, and mostly their strength is in providing a small boost for all the other units in the group. You can't make doomstacks anymore because all the units are more balanced, and heroes can't be built into high level godlike units. Each of your own cities serves as a conduit for overland magic so can blast enemies almost anywhere in the world with powerful spells.ĪoW3 is much more balanced. In Shadow Magic they made it so that overland magic is more powerful, so at the end game, when the enemy flees to his capitol city with a few stacks of strong units, you can just spend 10 turns blasting the city with spells to kill the majority of units (or all of them). If not you have to try to pick off the final armies once it splits up a bit. With a 'doomstack' you can usually kill the entire lot by just clicking auto battle and 2 seconds later you have won.
The end game on big maps usually involves having to capture at least a dozen cities, with an army in each city, and then eventually you have to kill the enemy's army which can be 4 or 5 groups of enemies. Only the first game lets you build a "doomstack" which is having one group of units with a high level hero (or multiple) that are so strong, the single group can kill anything. The gameplay is slightly different in each one.
