Races
Quick notes
- Identify the three new races. Nomads, Syrons and Shadow Demons are the additions that distinguish Shadow Magic from The Wizards Throne.
- Use the racial structure as a plan. A special building can alter the city as well as unlock a unit.
- Mix cities with a purpose. Conquering a city of another race can broaden recruitment options.
- Separate this roster from later sequels. Age of Wonders III and IV use different class, race and transformation systems.
Useful tip
Age of Wonders III and IV use different class, race and transformation systems. These tables describe the 2003 game and should not be used as a recipe for those sequels.
