Tactical turn based combat with up to 56 units in a single battle is awesome. Play online or pbem. And AoW 2 is coming out in spring 2002 and it will be even better. Forget MoM, sure everyone loved it, but AoW is the best tbs fantasy option out there. You got to like a game that has naked nymphs as one of the units.

AoW is interesting in its own way, but it's not MoM. For one thing, you can't build cities. AoW has a lot more similarities to Warlords than to MoM.

The nymphs are nice to look at, but as combat units they aren't up to snuff.

AOW is way too much of an expansion-oriented game... on the higher difficulty levels, the only thing you're doing all the time is building up armies and attack enemies... but then, those are the only halfway well-organized game features... a strongly war-based game, whereas most of us CIVers like to build up, expand peacefully, manage economy etc...

I bought AoW thinking it was another name for MoM2 but the bits they changed the most/took from Warlords were certainly the bits I liked the least. The heroes were amusing but after a couple of scenarios in the camapign your wall climbing wizard with full plate and big axe could take out towns single handed and it became boring.
