QUESTION (from Tyler Dallmann @Facebook) Do you think that AoW 3 will surpass the cult popularity of the original? What popular aspects of the previous games will we see return to the stage?
TRIUMPH: Age of Wonders 3 is a sequel staying true to the genre’s roots with many improvements to gameplay, presentation and interface. Although we hope to reach new people, we haven’t dumbed the game down – on the contrary!
QUESTION (from Rudolf Walker @Facebook): Will you be able to pre-order? And when? Is there gonna be a physical copy or downloads only?
TRIUMPH: The game should be available for pre-order, details will follow closer to release. The game has a digital release in multiple international digital stores, as well as physical copies in certain territories where there’s still a healthy demand for PC games on disc.
QUESTION (from GeorgBrombeere @Twitter): Will there be plenty of time to explore, research & build an empire or will you have to hurry before enemies get too strong?
TRIUMPH: This really depends on the scenario type. Some might be more focused on battle where you quickly need to get to action. Other maps focus on adventure or empire building giving you more time. The totally rewritten random map generator allows you to generate scenarios according to your wishes at the click of a button.
TRIUMPH: Music Maestro @Michiel has returned to make the music for the game and some classic themes will reappear! Stay tuned for a feature on his music!
QUESTION (from EirikHH @Twitter): Does a party still contain max 8 units and do you use the aow or aow2 wall-mechanic?
TRIUMPH: A party now contains 6 units, but we allow 42 units in a single battle from adjacent hexes. AoW3 will have the AoW3 wall-mechanic :D
QUESTION (from RandallBlandin @Twitter): Will there be signposts in a map editor that players can use to name features on custom maps? Like Skullbreaker Canyon?
TRIUMPH: We’ll release the tools to the game and we can confirm they include the options to edit signposts.
