One game opened by Marcus, as he advertized earlier today: 1v1 Tournament settings
chiveicrook is also starting a series of duels with tournament settings, he'll probably open new ones on the site later as 1 already filled.
The videos of last week's live chat even are available on YouTube:
1st part:
– the leader creation
– the Shadow Realm layer
– the Shadow Elf racial units
– the (living) Archon units
– other great content from Decodence
2nd part:
– 3 new sites: Raven’s Home, Sword of the Ashen Rose, Flame of Grauth
– the Archon units in tactical battle
– the Dark Elf Dwelling
3rd part:
– The Arena Battle Mode, a new mode to play AoW3, focusing on tactical battles
– The 4 mods of the Shadow Realm Community Expansion (or even more)
– Advanced strategies and tactics video: Marcuspers and Hiliadan’s channels, the advanced tutorial playlist
– The Wiki and the excellent guides it contains about the campaigns and tactics and strategies
– Best mods for AoW3
DISCLAIMER: at the time of the videos, the expansion is still in very early stage and not even in alpha stage. Many content will change and be improved.
The videos of the new mode for AoW3 (in addition to Single Player RMG, Single Player Campaign, PBEM, live MP), the Arena Battle mode, which is purely focused on player vs player tactical combat (so no empire building and strategic map management), will be released shortly. A non-edited version is already available on Marcus' YouTube channel.
Tournament practice game, dont mind keeping the game unreported to avoid disclosing information for round 4 of the tournament, but can also be reported but after turn 4 of tournament is started.Â
It's AbedNego vs Nemesis Zero, commented by Marcuspers.
In about 30min, there should be a final live stream from myself about the Shadow Realm and other very good content from the AoW3 community: https://gaming.youtube.com/us... />
Come watch!!
Also join on the chat: https://www.the-battlefield.c...

How best to balance all heroes and their abilities and also make them more interesting? (multiple answers possible)
I opened a new game: Academy game for non-Veterans
We need 4 more non-Veteran players who want to learn strategies and tactics for AoW3 PBEM. We already have 2 "trainees" and DreadReapr and me as "trainers". The game should start around mid-June.
Also, for those interested, here is a video of the clearing of a Lost City on turn 8 in my latest Duel Tournament game vs DarkRider: https://youtu.be/TqvmJevRwbs<... />
As always, welcome everyone to open more games: link to create a new game.

- FFA 4 Beginners No MC: 2 slots available, Imperium and chiveicrook already there. To limit mind-control early snowballing, the game restricts class to Warlord, Sorcerer, Dreadnought. I think the game is open to all non-Veteran players, time to join!
- Favoured Mods 3v3 1.8: this game hosted by SeeR is still looking for 2 players
Please note that the beta branch of the balance mod should be updated in about 2 weeks with v1.22 (if Zaskow has time to mod the changes). v1.22 should then be released to the main branch in about 60 days.
By the way, I encourage all hosts to consider using the Hero Development Mod in their new games as it brings new very interesting options for hero development and its model of 3 sub-classes for each of the main class is being considered for the balance mod as it could solve the issue of hero becoming too strong too fast, and could make hero progression interesting and balanced even if the max hero level is 20. The mod is here: http://steamcommunity.com/sha...

3 slots are available for the interested players.
Favoured Mods 3v3 1.8 hosted by SeeR with 11 mods to boost the AoW3 experience
@Skuns: I'm not sure we understand the poll the same way? The poll is about the difficulties you have when you PLAY Necromancer, not the advantages of Necro over other classes. If I understand correctly what you say, you are saying that Necro can Plunder or Hasty Plunder living cities but living classes can only Raze, and not Plunder or Hasty Plunder undead cities, right? Well, that's not a difficulty you face when you play Necro.
Also, the options for the poll were determined after 2 weeks of discussion open to everyone on the Steam forum: https://steamcommunity.com/ap... and I believe I linked this discussion either on the Player Pools or on the chat. So if any option is missing, that's because nobody thought about it during the discussion on the Steam forum.
I agree that it is a disadvantage for living class fighting Necro not to be able to Plunder. I suggest you post it on the discussion about the balance mod on the forum so that we don't forget about it: http://aow.triumph.net/forums... />
@AlX: thanks for reporting the issue with Builders and fortress on water, Zaskow fixed it quickly after your report.
To Hiliadan
I'm interesting why in this poll there is no a propose like that: "Plundering of the undead cities gives some gold\mana in addition to -150 morale"?
I understand that it concerns more about cities economy when you're playing against Necro. But also it maybe the session like 1vs1vs1 where 2 of 3 players are Necro. And they can plunder alive cities with gold\mana bonus. But 3-rd player can plunder undead cities without such bonus.
I agree that in the sessions like 1vs1 tourney ones it may be not much important. But already in 2vs2 sessions it can influence on the result
I hosted a duel challenge using hero development plus the balance mod. This should be doable within a month.
Not sure if this was reported in other threads:
- the patch 1.8 "Poseidon" doesn't seem to integrate well with the Balance Mod (or should I say vice-versa).
the one issue I spotted right away - that the embarked settler doesn't get the "Build water Fortress" ability. When disabling balance mod and running test game - ability does show up.
There are currently 3 open games:
- 4vs4 The Sinner are looking for opponents: the team Sin is looking for 4 opponents. Gilafron and rickyroo already joined so it seems they need 2 more players.
- 3vs3 large no quitters 1.21 BF: rickyroo hosted a game open to everyone from the Battlefield. It uses standard tournament settings except that it's a Large map, Land (instead of Continent), 3 heroes at level 15 max (instead of 2 at lvl 13 or 20). I think the spirit is probably that 6 players join and then teams are set up, as balanced as possible. So no need to have a team to join (correct me rickyroo if I'm wrong).
- Favoured Mods 3v3 1.8 BETAxBETA: SeeR hosted a "fancy game" as he calls them.
By the way, we have few teams that have 4 players, or even 3 players. So don't hesitate to contact other players you like to play with to create new team or join their team! Here is the situation of teams as I know them:
- The Sinners has 4 players
- A Song of Blight and Ice has 3 players (cbower left) and is playing a 4vs4 with Jean de Metz
- King Serpents has 4 players
- Old-bf has 2 active players
- Zia has 2 players
- Team of Bears has 2 players
- Coup de Grâce has 2 players
- rrrrookie & Jonny Thunder also regularly plays as a team (though not officially registered)
- Hawks has many players but is not like other teams
I have been uploading the videos of the turns from rickyroo and I's game vs rrrrookie and Jonny Thunder in round 3 of the PBEM 2vs2 Team Tournament (still many turns to upload, it takes some time). You can check the playlist of the game on YouTube. For those interested to see the rush of rrrrookie on turn 19 and how we responded to it, check out the turns 19 to 23 (follow the link to turn 19).
