Age of Wonders: Planetfall is the new strategy game from Triumph Studios, creators of the critically acclaimed Age of Wonders series, bringing all the exciting tactical turn-based combat and in-depth empire building of its predecessors to space in an all-new, sci-fi setting.īuild your empire with one of six unique factions, ranging from the militant Vanguard to the dinosaur-riding Amazons and the cyborg-zombies of the Assembly. What surprises me the most is how planetfall gets so much praise and at the same time fans are shitting on AOW4 which has done good improvements to the issues im describing.Emerge from the cosmic dark age of a fallen galactic empire to build a new future for your people. I played every other age of wonders game but only tried this one recently. How convenient for the developers - don't want to work on AI? Just release a piss poor version of it and balance the whole game around a simple strat it can execute without much effort. This also seems to be what the AI is going for every time. All you really need is to spam colonies and annex as much as possible, doesnt matter what type of improvements you get. Might aswell roll a dice and pick a random set of upgrades - your cities are probably going to be fine still. On top of that, your units and population are unaffected by climate, terrain or sector upgrades which makes your expansion planning almost obsolete. The sector yields are not exclusive and their upgrades come without any penalties. There is nothing to think of because you get so many sectors that even without min maxing still cover all your needs. The new sectors remind me of some mobile game, you pick the highest stacking upgrade and roll with it without a second tought. They completely removed racial terrain mechanics that were a huge part of the previous games. My biggest gripe is with how terrain and climate are for the most part meaningless and nothing nut a visual flavor. Got the game recently and very disappointed with how thin the strategy layer is. Long time strategy player, including previous installments.
