"MAY CONTAIN CONTENT NOT APPROPRIATE FOR ALL AGES".

Sounds like they're checking ID's at the door, brother!

Def on my radar.

Somewhere, somehow, I woke up in the wrong timeline. I'm pretty sure this isn't even my dimension.

I certainly logged a lot of hours on III, and I & II, now I think about it.

I liked AoW III quite a bit but I just couldn't get into Planetfall.  Here's hoping it's more like AoW III than Planetfall.

same


though both games i found were bit too heavy on combat (just planetfall especially so), and a bit too light on empire building for my tastes.  i'm hoping -- perhaps naively -- that aow4 will be better in this respect.  fingers crossed.

I've been tempted by Planetfall a couple of times when its been in a sale, but something about it has always put me off.

I played the hell out of AoW 3, bought Planetfall and really, really tried to get into it. Didn't happen. It's a big pile of "meh" as far as I'm concerned.

Given what the last one was like despite all the hype, I think I'll hold fire until its out and we see some reviews before I throw £42 at it.
