“A really fantastic, excellent 4X fantasy game, that is however completely overshadowed by its yet even more fantastic successor, Age of Wonders 4. So there is really no reason to play this one over AoW4 unless you have a bad computer or just really want to experience the story…”

“No longer compatible with linux, and paradox is also no longer interested in providing a fix.”
