I lacked the skills to do the high quality graphics, sound and programming myself so I found 3 very talented people to join my team and work with me to make Plague Inc. My role is hard to put a name on as it was my project and I was heavily involved in everything. It is really storming the App store - #2 paid app at time of writing! For the last 9 months or so, I have spending my spare time working on a high strategy game for iPhone and iPad. AoWSM is still a game that is very close to my heart and I take a look at the news every now and again but don't have the time to play. Swolte: Hi James, we miss you around here, but can you tell us what you have been concocting, what your role was, and why it could interest strategy gamers like us? Of course, we have an exclusive interview! It's called Plague Inc., developed by Ndemic Creations, and our very own JamieJME created it. We have created a forum where you can speak your heart, release your suggestions and fears, and perhaps influence a game in the making:įor the official website, and its forums, go visit theĪ brilliant, addictive app is spreading like an infectuous disease across the globe. * High replay value through random maps, difficulty modes and tools allowing user created content. * Compete online in extensive multiplayer modes and scenarios. * An epic story campaign with two playable factions Choose the mighty Commonwealth Empire or join the Court of the High Elves, founded after the reunion of the Dark Elves and Wood Elves. * A brand-new tactical battle system renders each battlefield and siege in great detail new rules include flanking and a massive set of special unit abilities.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it is AGE OF WONDERS III! Historical day today, as our beloved Triumph Studios announced that they have secretely been working, for over two years already, on the development of the ultimate TBS. There's also plenty of comments on the Oficial AoW3 Forums, the Steam Forums, and of course AoW Heaven's own AoW3 Sub-forum where, as always, you're invited to join the discussion. Their overall conclusion? "Age of Wonders 3 is a challenging power fantasy." Well, who here didn't see that coming? it's faultless." And we would hope, to the many fine user created scenarios that are sure to come. Polygon despite feeling that "The story feels slightly overcooked" concedes that "as a tutorial to the random maps.
#Age of wonders 3 specializations restrictions series#
The reviewer's final and admittedly personal verdict: Still, it's a fairly successful return for a game series and style that seemed undeservedly buried.Well hey, in a industry gone mad with RTS and FPS games, that's as much as one can hope for. Of course, being "weaker" is only relative, and when compared to the superlative, still a high bar to clear. It does all the little things right with its fantasy tactical battles, but it struggles to find its footing on the larger, strategic scale. This is exactly the case with Age of Wonders III. If either the tactical or strategic side is significantly better than the other, then the weaker half can feel like a distraction from the good bits.
IGN for example leads off with For a strategy game, having two distinct modes—a world map and tactical battles—is a risky move. The reviews themselves are on the whole generally favorable, though not gushingly so. Perhaps that's because as a self-publisher Triumph doesn't have the press budget of the big houses, but any news is good news. Coming up on the end of its first week, so far the press has been fairly quiet but the first post-release reviews of AoW3 are leaking out.
