The second is the Age of Death strategic spell which adds a 35% chance for ANY unit (yours, your enemies, everyone!) that fell in battle to come back to unlife as a ghoul under your control. The first is the Undying Army combat spell which bestows Undying on all undead units, allowing them to return to unlife one turn after being struck down. The Necromancer also has two of the most powerful spells in the entire game. You can convert city populations into Ghouls, turning that captured city of Halflings into undead Ghoul Halflings! This allows your support units to heal them thanks to the Healers of The Dead empire upgrade.

You’ll field units like Banshees, Dread Reapers and Bone Collectors. Without a doubt my favourite addition in Eternal Lords – as the name would suggest, the Necromancy class is all about death. The expansion also adds a new Class the Necromancer. They feel fully realized and unique while remaining accessible to new players and interesting to old ones. Both races are solid additions to AoW3’s roster. The Frostlings for example can bring monsters such as the Yeti to fight a Tigran Sphinx or Cheetah.

Each has their own strengths, weaknesses, mechanics and spells that generally take their cues from either ice or fire. The two races are counterpoints to one another with the Frostlings representing the power of the icy north and the Tigrans representing the fiery heat of the deserts. The big selling point for Eternal Lords is the addition of two new playable races the Frostlings and the Tigrans. It feels complementary not revolutionary. It does not reinvent the wheel rather it simply adds more of what you already love.

It’s a meaty expansion to a game that already has a substantial amount of content. One of the big reasons Age of Wonders 3 became a title worth supporting with hefty expansions was the fact Triumph Studios knew their audience, and more importantly, how to satiate that audiences hunger for everything that made the originals great while still delivering a game that felt modern.Įternal Lords, the second expansion for Age of Wonders 3, delivers more of the same turn-based, spell/counter-spell, multi-day time-sink goodness. The first three games were beloved gems with active cult followings that kept the flames alive until Age of Wonders 3 finally became a reality. The Age of Wonders series has been around for more than 15 years now.
