Gamespy takes a closer look at three spels in Age of Wonders 2, and they give you a little introduction to the game:
For those unfamiliar with the game, AoWII blends role-playing, melee and magical combat, and building, while placing the player in control of an ancient fantasy empire. To restore balance in a world on the brink of collapse and earn a place amongst "The Circle of Evermore" (a group of immortal wizards,) gamers take charge of power-wielding wizards, clashing battalions, and laboring guilds. As the story unfolds, players will encounter deities, other wizards, enemies and allies, each with their own agenda and personality. The alliances made or broken with each unique character in the game will make the difference between ultimate success or utter demise. By wisely choosing alliances, utilizing good research in the magical arts, and building forces and resources, players can dominate the land and ultimately restore order. |
