Dwarves[]
«Dwarves are hardy mountain kin which live in the earth or rugged places of the land. They value strength and hard work. Their minds are slow to the ways of diplomacy, preferring to strike their enemies with the force of their blows over spending inordinate amounts of energy in lengthy, sleep-inducing talk. They love to create things and find great satisfaction in creating vast structures adorned with the treasures discovered deep within the earth. Dwarves are strong fighters, some preferring to forego armor and shields to wield two axes and pure rage. Their sure-footed strides carry them over the high slopes they revere.»
Dwarves are a straightforward race, eschewing fancy maneuvers in favour of a good, honest fight. As a result, their higher-end units have less mobility than those of other races, but are capable of inflicting and receiving considerable punishment, while some of their melee-based class units have developed greater resistance to enemy projectiles to assist in surviving a headlong charge towards enemy lines. Their archers represent an exception to this rule, often acting more as irregulars with their heavy crossbows than conventional archers. Forge Priests can provide them with healing and the blessing of fire, and share an with the most powerful dwarven units, the Firstborn. While dwarves generally lack flyers, their mountaineering and caving skills allow them to quickly traverse terrain that can pose problems for other races. Dwarves are at home in arctic terrain as well as underground, although their cities are most productive nestled among mountain peaks on the surface than beneath the ground.
Sorcerer[]
«After the ascension of the ancient Wizard Kings at the end of the Second Age, a new breed of magicians, called Sorcerers, claimed power. Seeking to unravel the mysteries of cosmos, they’ve learned to directly tap into the mana currents and wield magic in its purest form. Sorcerers are capable of summoning magical creatures ranging from shock Wisps to extra-dimensional Eldritch Horrors. Being the most magically focused of all the classes, the Sorcerer wields a wide arsenal of combat invocations and unit and domain enchantments. Sorcerer’s domains tend to be loaded with protections such as anti magic domes and guarding glyphs, while they cast corrupting magic on their enemies. Needless to say, Sorcerers favor mana over gold and rely on spells instead of brute force. With their arcane knowledge, they strive to restore the dominance once held by the Wizard Kings.»» — «»Gifted Lords of the Third Age»» by Ralinstone Pedant, Chronicler
While all of the classes in AoW3 can cast spells it is the sorcerer who is the true master of this craft with their superior casting point pool and increased mana production upgrades. With powerful summons and a wide array of spells they can make full use of their casting points with impunity while also protecting their cities with enchantments and upgrades.
Naturally the support units of a sorcerer are truly to be feared as they can deal a large amount of varied damage and have a number of class upgrades devoted to making them even more dangerous on the battlefield.
To counter a sorcerer you need to focus on magically resistant units and upgrades. Spell jammers and various dwelling creatures are some of the strongest approaches to this but various enchantments and hero upgrades can also aid in this task. Denying sorcerers the mana to cast their magics can also help but with their increased mana upgrades this can sometimes but more difficult than it is worth.
Сюжет[]
Прошло много лет с тех пор, как народам Атлы удалось изгнать теневых демоном в мир Теней. Многие отправились за ними, чтобы окончательно добить и освободить другие миры, включая магов. Сменились поколения людей, и уже никто не помнит события той войны. Эльфы и тёмные эльфы объединились в единый народ высших эльфов, создав Эльфийский Двор, объявивший независимость от Содружества людей и союзных им народов. Из-за всё увеличивающихся количеств конфликтов и притязаний, между двумя государствами может начаться война. Народы Атлы часто воевали друг с другом, но может в этот раз за всем этим стоит что-то куда более могучее?

Halflings[]
«To Halflings every day is an idyllic dream, filled with the possibility of simple pleasures and prosperity. Halflings are masters of happiness. They seek the path to everlasting joy. As a result, there are many factions among the small folk, from the pious priests who seek joy in service and doing good to others, to the eccentric pranksters, and celebrant revelers filled with any brew that might bring them closer to a stupor of laughter and song. Halflings are extraordinary cooks, and eat well. They enjoy music, and telling stories. Adept at trade, they spend their wealth as quickly as they earn it. They are content to work the land and harvest its bounty, but at times they are carried away to waste and silliness that separates them from the more proud faerie folk and Elven kin.»
While often poor in melee, Halflings have a number of tricks to make up for this. Their signature countermeasure is the Lucky feature, giving them a chance to avoid all of the damage from an enemy strike – however, the luck of the halflings is dependent on their morale, making keeping morale up particularly important for halflings. To assist in this, many halfling class support units have the ability to boost the morale of their army, and their Brew Brothers are excellent healers capable of raising the health of friendly troops above their normal maximums, although their physical-based attacks leave halflings with few answers against incorporeal foes. Meanwhile, their fast but fragile Eagle Riders have an ability that allows them to attack enemy troops without retaliation, potentially reducing the damage they receive, while the fireworks of Jesters can dazzle enemy troops, allowing the rest of the army to attack them without fear. However, halflings still prefer to keep their enemy at a distance when possible, with their Adventurers providing a cheap but effective archer-like unit with little infrastructure, and their Farmers able to break up and slow down an enemy advance with some well-aimed livestock.

Summary[]
|
Orcs favor the direct approach: They are stronger in melee than other races, have more hit points, and enjoy fighting such that the sheer thrill of victory can cause them to regenerate health. In fact, some of their melee units enjoy fighting so much that they are able to tirelessly strike back at all comers without forfeiting the ability to press their own attack. On the other hand, they field poor archers (the razorbow is only remarkable for a chance to inflict additional damage over time), and are more vulnerable than most to magic – particularly their elite Shock Troopers, which are otherwise probably the toughest of the racial special units in a straight-up fight. Their Black Knight cavalry is infamous for their skill at dispatching enemy cavalry, and their Spearmen irregulars more than make up for their lack of ranged accuracy through their mobility and the greater durability granted to them through their shields. Their Priests provide little direct support to their allies, but are masters of dark magic, able to curse their foes from a considerable distance. They prefer barren tropical and subterranean regions, but are noteworthy as being able to survive in blighted regions better than most, although they are still not entirely at home there.

1. Rule-Sets
The rule-sets listed here change the way the game looks, sounds and/or
works. Some of them make only minor changes to the original, while others
change Age of Wonders into something almost completely different!
Warlock’s Rule-Set
By WarlockDescription: This is the first, and for a long time only, complete
mod pack. It’s widely used and very popular. It adds new units and
buildings, attempts to balance the game with changes in unit stats,
costs, spells and abilities. It reduces the problem with invincible
heroes that on their own can defeat whole armies by lowering the maximum
value of some hero stats and by increasing the costs of some ability
upgrades.Unit stats: Complete
