AoWx

Age of Wonders X is an engine modpack, built upon AoW+ engine files with some vanilla functions restored, along with some added code/hex edits (plenty of which are borrowed from Ziggurat Engine Mod and AoW Evolved). It introduces new content and rebalanced gameplay, while retaining the unique atmosphere and timeless charm of the original Age of Wonders. It is first and foremost the collaborative effort of three veteran players to develop a more diverse meta-game for competitive LAN multiplayer at the highest level, however it also includes a custom campaign and challenge mode. "A Human Perspective", a canon-inspired custom campaign, is played via the Keepers campaign. There are eight different endings, each ranging from 17 to 20 scenarios in length. The first nine scenarios are shared between all endings, but not fully linear. ie: You can make choices to play different scenarios/recruit different heroes, but ultimately they will all bring you to the same major event in the campaign, at which point the campaign branches off into vastly different paths. "Challenge Mode" replaces the Cult of Storms campaign. It is a series of difficult challenges intended for only the most experienced players. There are 7 challenge scenarios in total. Can you hope to complete them all and challenge The Group of Three?
