Age of Wonders 3 Mobile

[lucid lichen]

Don't do it.
Don't go in that direction and that spirit of what a game is.
The pantheon points system was already the step too far in this wrong direction.

I absolutely loathe the pantheon unlocks. In a game where sessions can last hours or even days, it's just a pain in the rear. I still only have 93% unlocked (although, granted, I was smacked with a cloudsave error that erased all my progress last year.)

OOF

I think the pantheon unlocks are cool. But maybe should have been done differently so you can unlock more.

[chilly pine]

I like the pantheon unlocks as they are quite rewarding, mostly.

[tepid lynx]

I like the pantheon unlocks because it actually encourages me to finish my games. Also its pretty easy to do a 1v1 and finish the match in a few hours.

[zenith python]

But farming 1v1 matches just for pantheon unlocks clearly sounds like an hack.

You cannot judge a design decision basing on hacks.

[sacred spade]

You still can surrender and get exp for that

For AoW3 mobile, it sounds like good idea but only if nothing extra added, only the base game plus dlc

[stoic meteor]

Lol why would I surrender? That's not fun. I play the game to have fun. But, to be clear, it isn't fun to have to play out a week long session (depending on my schedule) for anywhere from four to five points. On a tree with over a hundred nodes.

Which, itself, might not be so bad if it was just things like cosmetics. But no, it includes society traits and weapon sets.

[zenith python]

It's just something important to keep in mind for people who are used to not conclude their games: when jumping from one game to another one because the current one is too boring, you should still surrender to get the pantheon points.

[tepid lynx]

I was just giving y’all some solutions to get pantheon points. Maybe they should only be cosmetics but cosmetics aren’t enough to convince me personally to finish my games and i know thats just a personal issue for myself. Now the idea of the thread, i feel that an age of wonders mobile game could be good as long as it is done in a way that doesn’t push them to design the games specifically for mobile.

[hallow fable]

What about a map setting that unlocks all pantheon unlocks for pvp? That way people can decide whether or not they wish to interact with the progression system.

could do it for pve too for that matter... as long as it's optional. some people like it.

[spark idol]

Why is everyone debating pantheon unlocks in a thread about a hypothetical AoW3 port?

[stoic meteor]

Because pantheon unlocks are a very mobile thing and, in a hypothetical scenario where Aow 3 was ported to mobile, everything would be behind an unlock system.

[spark idol]

I don't see the connection

[queen birch]

@spark idol this is how xd

btw, im against mobile port too

[cedar path]

Did 3 even have wonders like that

(also if this was a serious request my general thought would be that it would be kind of annoying to play aow3 on mobile phones)

[tepid lynx]

Suddenly I’m completely turned off of the idea of a mobile version. Dragon quest was able to do mobile remakes of their originals without the need for ruining it through micro transactions

[clever zodiac]

I am convicned this post is in bad faith

[zenith python]

It is, if you look at the other messages from OP on this thread

[violet ingot]

I would actually pay money for a mobile port of just the faction builder though

[queen birch]

[violet ingot]

I'm mostly joking. I think. I mean, I do really like building factions, and the faction builder would run and be controllable on a mobile device...

[tepid lynx]

I’d download an app for the faction builder but I wouldn’t pay money for just a faction builder. If we could load our faction into our game then i might pay 2 or 3 bucks
