| Game Images and Strategy Section Updates! AOW Heaven has received two HUGE updates that you have to check out! Strategy Section The Strategy Section has received a huge influx of new articles for your reading pleasure! RayB's Guide to Better PBEM Games and Frogman's Secret Guide to changing the Turn Order in PBEM games. There have been extensive updates to the Little Known Game Play Tips and Beginner Strategies as well! Also added were all of the "Hot Keys" to speedup your play and how to enable the Cheat Codes (great for testing out your custom-made maps!). AOW Game Images This section been completely overhauled thanks to the incredible graphic work of Cherub Nojd! Check out tons of Animated Units and the Lost Images of AOW. This section is especially cool, as you can see units and building structures that were cut from the game, as well as screen shots from very early builds of the game, back when it was known as "World of Wonders." Finally, under the Portraits of the protagonist characters, you can read four original stories by RayB, writer for Triumph Studios, that were only included in the Official AOW Strategy Guide (including the long-lost tale of Sirdanc the Changed!). |

| Warlock's Rules & Happy 26th Birthday to Draco 136 of you have downloaded Warlock's Rule-set, which is a fan-made mod that changes significantly changes and improves upon the gameplay of Age of Wonders. If you haven't tried it yet, you don't know what you're missing! You can get the mod in the MISC Downloads section. There are several maps made exclusively for Warlock's rules that you should be sure to check out: The Fall of Gondolin and The Mirror of Galadriel by Fingers; Sojourn (based on R.A. Salvatore's famous dark elf, Drizzt) by Im2good; Hunters of Blood II and State of War by Dix; and last but not least, Guild War part I by Queen Elquein. You can tell if a map was made for Warlock's Rules by checking if there is a "Y" in the "WR" column of the Downloads listings. Remember that maps created using Warlock's modified editor cannot be played with the original game, so get Warlock's Rules today! If you have any problems with installation, post a question on our Forums. One final note, Happy Birthday to our own Angel Draco who turns 26 today! |
