Hi all, with the recent update, we've introduced an AI-only Pirates faction that will randomly attack your ships. The Pirates are fast units with ranged attacks and are occasionally armed with cannons, making them a challenge even for advanced armies. To balance this, we've also added Merchants who will appear on the seas with precious items. I'm also working on a Sea Storm mechanic, but that feature isn't ready yet.
Take care,
Les
Age of Fear 3: The Legend is a refreshingly fun strategy title that marries a tabletop wargame with elements of RPG. The game features a huge variety of units, a novel hex-free battle system, morale and flexible multiplayer.
FEATURE LIST
Two long scenarios - play as a beautiful dryad or a drunken dwarf lord in story driven campaigns!
Hex-free battle system - units are no longer constrained to artificial grids. Unit's size matters too.
Steam Workshop integration - create your own world and share with the community!
Easy to Play but Hard to Master - Age of Fear is very easy to pick up but with deep and emergent strategy.
Low hardware requirements - the game will even work on that old laptop of yours.
Permanent death - all characters that fall in a battle will stay dead - unless an evil Necromancer raises them as Zombies!
Diverse enemy roster - game features 160+ unique units with over 250 different spells and skills.
AI behaviour is modelled on a neural network system and influence maps. Age of Fear has probably one of the most advanced strategic AI's ever created!
Items and artifacts - there are over 100 unique items in Age of Fear, which are randomly distributed. Items not only give bonuses, but also unlock powerful skills and spells.
