It's fucking Age of Wonders. Colourfull since the first game. Seriously.

I liked the graphics in original game. But in 3D it looks awful. The same problem was in HoMM series, especially in HoMM6 (compared to HoMM3).
It looks like a picture, painted with big brushes and bright colors, but the artist forgot his small brushes, attention to details and darker colors at home.

For a 3d strategy title it's remarkably detailed actually. I think they kept the feel and style of the original intact to an impressive degree.

Well, at least it doesn't make your eyes bleed. Still, I'll be playing it with saturation set to 25%.

If anything I'd say they transitioned really well from 2D to 3D unlike, I don't know, the way Disciples 3 fucked it up.

Just a quick reminder how it looked in AoW2.

Disciples 3 is done very well from the technical point of view (concerning graphics), in my opinion.

I really really hope the combat perspective can be set to something more classic. WTF, killing the hero kills the army? What lameness is this.

Looks better than I feared, but worse than I hoped.

Is Michiel van den Bos doing the music?

I'm guessing they went back to the AOW 1 mechanic, where if the leader hero dies you lose.

I don't give a shit if it was in AoW1, it's lame. Guess they'll introduce 'leadership' units for the same purpose though.

Yes, he's even uploaded a few samples of music he's created for aow3

i ehhh am ah suddenly ehhh interested! eeehhhh

ai concentrated on the hero... it prioritizes, hopefully it also weights up the pros and cons .... ahahhahah whom am i kidding, its gonna be a huge exploit

 

[Spectacle]

The battle camera looks annoying as hell, I hope there will be an "isometric" option.

 

[Space Satan]

Colourful? Really? We got shitload of grimdark settings and almost no bright ones. When I see elven city I expect it to be green and bright, not seeping with filth, desolation and covered with smog.
