Lucky gives them a chance to completely avoid an attack on the battlefield, and it’s based on their morale. Although Age of Wonders III’s faction system is still a bit too homogenous across all the races for my liking, Halflings instantly became one of my favorite races because of their innate Lucky attribute. The biggest addition was also the biggest missing piece from Age of Wonders III – the Halflings as a playable race. A few more popular strategy game developers continue on the tradition of larger expansion packs, and I’m pleased to see that Triumph Studios is one of them – not only does it speak to the developer’s support of their game but expansion packs typically offer far more content as well as tweaks and additional features that have ramifications throughout the entire game. Golden Realms is the first full-fledged expansion pack, which is what we called DLC back in the day. I was a big fan of Age of Wonders III when it released last April, and in the months since Triumph Studios have done an admiral job listening to fan feedback and incorporating lots of tweaks and balance changes. As the first expansion pack released for the turn-based tactical strategy game, Golden Realms introduces an entirely new faction, new skill specializations, new units, two new scenarios, a new mini-campaign and several new gameplay features that tweak and expand an already fantastic game.īut also adds those filthy, filthy monkeys. If you ever caught yourself in the middle of playing Triumph Studios’ Age of Wonders III wondering where all the poo-flinging Dread Monkeys are – fear not.
