Golden Realms greatly expands Age of Wonders III’s empire
building mechanics and introduces bucket loads of new content.
These new features are used in random maps, new scenarios and a new
story campaign, where Halfling survivors settle in a distant land
filled with danger and treasures never seen before.
New Content Includes:
- The Halfling Race: The little folk are back, with new units,
heroes and leaders. The jesters shoots fireworks which dazzle the
enemy and the cleaver flinging brew brothers keep the Halfling
armies fed while on the road. Halflings can be used with all
classes and introduce the new Luck mechanic which allows them to
dodge incoming attack while they’re in good spirits.
- Golden Realms Campaign: In this three scenario campaign, you
help the Halfling survivors of the Heartwood Massacre rebuild an
empire in an exotic land and confront an ancient evil.
- Exotic Map Locations: Capture the Naga Dwelling, home to
serpentine queens and giant man-snakes, and discover new treasure
sites such as the fabled Lost City to benefit your empire.
- Over twenty new units: Encounter new exotic units such as the
filth throwing Dread Monkeys, alluring Mermaids and the fearsome
Glutton who can swallow whole regiments in one bite.
- New Hero Items: The Golden Realms contain 50 new magical
artifacts to discover and use. Wield the enigmatic Crystal Skull,
or wear a stylish Witch Doctor’s Headdress to mix in with the
locals.
- Wild Magic Specialization: Unleash wild magic. Cause
spontaneous mutations, warp equipment and turn orderly battles into
a pandemonium where the lines of battle are violently warped.
- Partisan Specialization: Use new skills for guerrilla warfare.
Create concealed hide-outs and develop ambushing skills.
- Two hand crafted scenarios: Playable single and multi-player
these new stand-alone scenarios are built around the new features
of the Golden Realms expansion.
Features:
- Mystical City Upgrades: Arcane treasure sites located in your
domain unlock new unique upgrades for your cities, making the
location and specialization of your cities more important than
ever. Building a city near a Crystal Tree unlocks the Enchanted
Armory which reinforces your armored units.
- Empire Quests: Achieve empire building goals before your rivals
to unlock unique rewards for your realm. This introduces a new type
of indirect competition between players. Examples are the Eternal
City: be the first to build a metropolis and get an awe-inspiring
Monument of Prime Good and Evil, where the first player to achieve
full good or full evil alignment has a party of champions the
respective alignment join at no cost.
- Seals of Power: A new King of the Hill style victory condition
where players must capture and hold the dangerous Seals of Power
structures in order to achieve victory. Don’t sit and hold back as
broken seals attract extra-dimensional beings wanting to take the
Seal back.
- Defensive City Upgrades: Each race has a unique city defense to
build. The Draconian’s Firestorm Pillar sets ablaze those who dare
attack their city. Or the Bell Tower for the Humans which rallies
the citizenry to shoot volleys at oncoming enemies.
- Random Map Generator: New content and features are integrated
into the updated Random Map Generator.
