I am with you on this one, Rob. I'm blown away by the art and the smart design decisions. I *just* started the campaign -- solo, in my case -- and it's really cool. It drives home the Worldspanner setting in a way that the normal "skirmish" mode does not. So neat.
I have all of Duel of Ages 2, but no one ever wanted to play it with me. Only played it a handful of times. Tom described the game as more "duel of ages 2.5" then a real new version of the game. That's really given me pause. Still, the solo mode is attractive. It's pretty much the only way I play games now. Currently learning/playing Dungeon Degenerates. I'll keep this in the back of my mind though.
So glad to see this - I never dreamed a third entry in the series would come. How long is the setup time and how long is the game? Have you played with 1v1 or team vs team?

This is a masterpiece
Great review Rob. Duel of Ages 2 was my my number 1 game of all time until Factions was released.
Great game for sure

Don’t forget the campaign they added as well
That is some effusive praise!
Yep
I got duel of ages for 50p but never actually played it.
Tom must be excited (or, possibly, dissapointed)
It’s fun
Finding this game may be an issue...
Nope I am working on that

Yes I have and it’s not long at all
