Age of Wonders II: The Wizard's Throne

A PopTop Software Inc. creation.

Description

"Age of Wonders II: The Wizards Throne" blends role-playing, magical combat, and empire building, while placing the player in control of an ancient fantasy kingdom. To restore balance in a world on the brink of collapse and earn a place amongst the Circle of Evermore (a group of immortal wizards,) gamers take charge of power-wielding wizards, clashing battalions, and labouring guilds. Offering the ultimate in fantasy turn-based strategy, "Age of Wonders II" is an invigorating mix of empire building, role-playing and warfare.

The winner of several top industry accolades, the original "Age of Wonders" received Game of the Year from Gonegold.com and the Editor's Choice Award from PC Gamer. GameSpy calls "Age of Wonders II: The Wizards Throne," "Engrossing and cerebral gameplay, extremely high replay value, an incredible scenario editor, a quality score, and quality graphics."

In " Age of Wonders II: The Wizards Throne" Players can:

* Rule their domain as an immortal Wizard-King, a leader capable of awe-inspiring destruction, possessing the ability to defeat equally imposing adversaries!
* Reign supreme over one of 12 distinct and amazing races such as Elves, Frostlings, Draconians, Dwarves, Halflings, Humans, and even the Undead.
