Age of Wonders 3 - Development Updates

Since my last post about Age of Wonders III Triumph Studios has released two more updates on the games website. The first update is about map making.

With the added V1.4 support for sharing user content including Steam Workshop; Narvek and new intern JimiH_Dev have been so kind to put together an all new Step by Step Map Making Guide.

The Age of Wonders 3 editor is a lot more powerful than the ones that came with the previous games, but this also means its gotten a little less easy to pick up. But if you get the hang of the basics, you’ll notice it isn’t that hard to create your own scenarios and campaigns.   Here are the link to all guides related to map-making we have so far:

• (New!) Step by Step Map Making Guide
• Introduction to Level Editing Video
• Advanced Level Editing and Scripting Guide
• Sharing User Content with the Package Manager (incl Steam Workshop)

We’re looking forward to playing your user maps and campaigns!

The second update talks about multiplayer compatibilty with the expansion.

Hello everyone, with the Golden Realms Expansion out now, we’ll discuss how the Expansion impacts multiplayer. Are you worried you can’t play AoW3 with or against your friends, worry no more. All shall be explained below. People that buy expansions for AoW3 – such as the Golden Realms expansion – get their hands on all sorts of new goodies. Expansions can contain new races, classes, specializations, units, items, maps, etc. However, what happens if they play with people that don’t have access to those goodies?
