FAQ
-------
Q: What does "auto-combat only" mean?
Age of Wonders 3 is known for its manual, turn-based tactical combat. In short, I've decided to abandon this feature in favor of the auto-combat AI - to save time, and also balance the game in a way.
Unlike in manual combat, in auto-combat players can no longer exploit the AI by stalling battle - to kite the enemy around, spam abilities, farm XP, convert tons of units, etc.
These mechanics aren't inherently bad; however, they do make the game a lot more tedious and time-consuming, not to mention create a need for balance mods to reduce the sheer amount of exploitability, as well as patch resulting power imbalances between various classes.
Here's a more detailed Steam post I made on the merits of auto-combat vs manual combat: steamcommunity...
Q: What is M-Series?
Just like the original 1v1 series, except we play on a medium map (instead of a small map). This generally makes for a longer game with more focus on economy and empire building.
Q: What is PBEM?
PBEM stands for Play-By-Email.
In the 90s, people would share game saves via email to play turn-based games asynchronously (not live).
Age of Wonders 3 has a PBEM server, but there's no email involved. You simply take your turn, which is automatically uploaded to the server. Then the next player automatically downloads the game, takes their turn, and so on and so on...
In this way, we can play at our leisure with people all over the world.
Q: What the heck is a Haste Berry Pie?
Haste Berries are a visit site in Age of Wonders 3 that restore your units' movement points. I like pie. Any more questions?
