so speaking of mods, here's something from the OF that is actually pretty cool: they're making a community expansion http://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=commnews&eingabenewsid=40 http://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=commnews&eingabenewsid=47 they're adding a shadow realm layer, a dark elf dwelling, a new race (haven't mentioned what it is but there are non-undead archon models hanging around), and some new structures (taken from the aforementioned decodence mod) they're actually creating new 3d models from scratch for the dark elves, it's pretty neat

The problem with that shadow realm stuff is that it's incredibly busy; different tiles are not obviously and immediately distinct. It takes work to figure out what's going on terrain-wise

Oh yeah! quote:After Age of Wonders III clocking 10s of millions of hours of gameplay, and getting the feedback to go with it, we are happy to officially release the official V1.705 "CAESAR" patch! This marks a new level of refinement for the game, especially for the master Age of Wonders 3 strategists, multiplayer gamers and modders. The variety of balance and bug fixes should benefit everyone.

no one i know wants to deal with hamachi and to be honest neither do i. i don't blame any of them for not wanting to go through that to play a game that they don't even know they like yet

Yeah, no, Hamachi is not a reasonable solution anymore. If it doesn't work out of the box, it's nigh-impossible to get people to play something.

Fair enough. This stuff is gets really fiddly because of the type of networking our game uses. To cut a long story short, we make a direct connection between your computer and the one belonging to your opponent, rather than letting you both connect to a central server. This should work fine, except various settings in people's routers and firewalls get in the way and mess it up. There's a thing called UPnP which is a protocol built into your router, which should fix most of these issues, but for various reasons most routers that support it have UPnP disabled by default. I'm not sure if it's applicable in your situation, but you could try enabling UPnP on your router and seeing if that fixes it?

I'm pretty sure somewhere in this thread are my travails trying to get the game working between my college buddies, with one of us in the US, one in Australia, and one in China. That was the worst, but the GFW was part of the issue.

lol no, one guy got a hero at game start who had divine justicares, bestow iron heart, and convert at level 1. everyone teamed up against him and he responded with an endless flood of dark pact shadow stalkers. i managed to kill 3 shadow stalkers and a hero, which was more permanent damage than anyone else was able to do. then the game ended. i misplayed super bad and spent forever not doing anything, essentially. if i had actually gotten flame tanks online i could have maybe put up a good fight, but i'm dumb and bad at this game. the frost aura + inflict freeze on elite on dual channel units with backstab is really nasty. i wish i could see the % chances on auras proccing. despite having force field cast on him, my knight still got frozen relatively quickly.

Oh, question: a friend of mine just picked up AoW3 and DLCs while it was on sale, and is interested in playing cooperative games. What sort of settings/maps/scenarios are good for coop play? Also, he has the GOG version and I have the steam version - that shouldn't be a problem, right? It goes through Triumph's own multiplayer system for both version IIRC.

try to keep the map size as small as is comfortable. try not to fall into the trap of making the map as huge as possible and stuffed full of as much junk as possible: the game will take forever and aow3's endgame is easily the least interesting part of the game i'd recommend surface only + land to start with personally. otherwise you should just keep the map settings on default

It goes through Triumph's own multiplayer system for both version IIRC. I recommend playing with always ask for ai battles. If you're not having a 1v1 match, there's no reason to purposefully gimp yourselves in the occasional tough fight. Though definitely turn the battle view on if you do, staring at a frozen screen while your buddy defends his capital from a surprise boneyard attack is a quick way to lose interest. This also gives you a chance to show him how to play,or weird/fun combos that are less newbie friendly like halfling warlord. Other than that, imho if he wants to play a race that likes underground terrain, underground only is a bit more straightforward since the places you can go are limited, though it's a little harder because after turn 30 any soft dirt you dig through can be hiding a bone dragon stack.
