well, let's just say it's a good thing nobody wants to give me any armies. I did play the campaigns twice over the years, once on easy difficulty and once on hard, but the second time was years later. Once you encounter an enemy army or try to conquer a city with a garrison force, you’ll be transported to a hex grid for the turn-based combat. why not play the other campaign first? Then the Elf one will be fresher again. The combat in Age of Wonders III is very well-designed and satisfying. I suspect that the time you gain by not opening their character screen to use a bow is a lot less than the time you lose by replaying everything.

How many heroes do you have with too many abilities? How often do they need to use their bows? Is it really THAT hard to click a few extra times to open their character screen? (In random maps, you can set defender strength lower which would have this effect, but the campaign doesn't offer this level of customisation.)ĥ] I honestly do not think it is worth restarting for this when it's just a convenience thing. Or even the difficulty level of neutral sites. (The expansion campaigns are only 3 maps.)ģ] Loot is random, though generally the early maps do not have locations where you can find the really high-end lootĤ] Difficulty level does not affect loot found. 1] You can skip the tutorial as nothing in it carries over.Ģ]There are six maps in the campaign total, but the last 2 are different based on which branch you choose, so if you want to see everything there'd be 8 maps.
