I think it was balanced for the campaigns anway. I found that AoW+ is just too radical, so will probably only use it if playing the campaigns again. For typical quest type maps with few units I'm most likely to play them vanilla, while for more combat focused maps I prefer a custom MolzyMod Ziggurat Mod.
I will probably use a variety of mods when playing AoW user-made maps. So while playing HoMM may be quicker to play than AoW, assembling a list of worthy maps and then tracking them down is more time consuming. The AoW have only one (AFAIK) major independent forum, which also hosts the one convenient, centralized map depository, where you can arrange them in chronological order. The HoMM games seems to have a much wider following than the AoW games, with several communities, and with the Russians now being the main map and mod makers.
The AI can't even use many features, so if I should play PBEM again, AoW would be my first choice among computer games not specifically dedicated to it. This will be a similar thread to the one I made about the HoMM games.Īge of Wonders have overall better game mechanics than the somewhat simpler (and quicker to play) HoMM games, but suffers from poorer AI.
