I play Age of Wonders 3, mostly "auto-combat only" PBEM.
The purpose of this channel is to document my games and serve as a reference for players who are new to the "auto-combat only" format (and maybe entertain a few of you in the process).
No doubt it can be frustrating forgoing the control that manual combat offers, and I hope these videos give you some idea on how to approach the game without it. I certainly don't have all the answers, and I encourage you to experiment and help push the limits of the game.
I'll be the first to admit that I'm a bit slow and tend to overthink my turns. To be fair, the game is more complex than it seems, and I recommend everyone spend at least 5-10 minutes per turn.
That being said: Feel free to fast-forward and skip around to pick out what's pertinent to you.
Interested in playing? I regularly host Age of Wonders 3 PBEM games - you're welcome to join.
I'm open to your suggestions, and good luck out there.
