I played this ~8 hours straight until I could get myself to quit to write this short review.

This is a worthy sequel to AOW, unlike AOW2. They basically fixed everything that needed fixing, added a ton of shit (there are more spells, buildings, units, races, items), and left me with just a tiny nitpick.

You can still not choose your abilities while leveling heroes, but that's a minor complaint since you can now build custom items with the missing abilities (Rod of Domination, Ring of Resurgance, etc.).

The maps could be larger if you want those endless scenarios, and there usually still are not many cities on a map (you can build new ones, so no biggie).
