14 DAY TRIAL // Age of Wonders III, a turn-based strategy game developed and published by Triumph Studios, is set to arrive on Steam for Linux soon.
Calling Age of Wonders III just a turn-based strategy might be simplifying the game too much. It’s a combination of Civilization and Heroes that managed to get good things from both worlds.
The developers from Triumph Studios have been badgered for a Linux version for a couple of months now, and a big part of the gaming community has been asking for a Linux port. The studio has now confirmed that it’s working on the Linux version, although they couldn’t provide a launch date.
“Rule as one of 6 RPG style leader classes: Sorcerer, Theocrat, Rogue, Warlord, Archdruid, or the tech-focused Dreadnought. Research powerful skills unique to your class to develop your empire and arsenal. Choose your allies from among the six main races - Humans, High Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, Goblins and Draconians - and fantastical monster dwellings,” say the devs on the official Steam website.
The system requirements for Age of Wonders III don’t seem to be all that high: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600, 4 GB of RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 460 1GB, and 10 GB of space.
