Age Of Wonders

The action takes place on a map with an isometric projection, divided into hexagonal cells and containing three levels: surface, dungeon and depth. Units can be combined into groups of up to eight members, each group occupies one cell. Each player leads a chosen race. There are 12 races in the game: some of them are traditional for fantasy (Elves, Dwarves and Hobbits), and some are unique and have no analogues. The game uses two resources: gold and mana; gold is used to create units, buy heroes (in the case when they want to join) and improvements for cities; mana for casting and researching spells, using altars.
