Hi everyone!We thought it was time to give you a proper FAQ where hopefully many of your more frequently asked questions about the game will be answered.If you have any questions or feedback, please send them our way!Cheers,Emma_________________Age of Wonders: Planetfall is the new strategy game from Triumph Studios, creators of the critically acclaimed Age of Wonders and Overlord series, bringing all the exciting strategic turn-based combat and in-depth empire building of its predecessors to space in an all-new sci-fi setting.As fans of Sci-fi (Star Wars, Alien, Dune, Starship Troopers, and the countless sci-fi books we have read), a futuristic setting has always been something we wanted to explore. The war-focused mechanics from the Age of Wonders games are a great fit for sci-fi weapon arsenals. We use Age of Wonders in the name, because Planetfall’s gameplay shares the same core strengths, including the in-depth strategic and tactical map layers, the varied units with all their special abilities and an epic setting filled with a unique mythology.As one of the heirs to the shattered Galactic Empire known as the Star Union, you emerge from a cosmic dark age to craft a new future. You travel to one of the many lost worlds of the old empire, where you will find many marvels among the remnants of this once great civilization.On those planets – which vary in biome, geography, structure and surviving factions - you will need to rediscover lost technologies and social doctrines for your colonists to thrive. However; you are not alone. Other houses compete with yours to rebuild the Star Union and you will need both a carefully crafted arsenal and a firm grip on diplomacy if you are to have any chance at victory. The game takes place on one planet at a time, but there are endless worlds for you to discover.Gameplay has evolved across the board, here are some of the key features:Planetfall has a new scanner system that allows units and surveillance operations to detect enemy movements outside of the regular vision range. This scan range doesn’t disclose all information about the enemy. Through research can you upgrade it, but also obscure canners of others. These scanner upgrades are part of the Covert Ops Tech tree, allowing you to spy on rivals, steal resources, and sabotage their relations.There are six main playable races in the game, six secret technologies to mix and match, and there are five NPC factions for you to ally or go to war with. In the campaign you’ll get to experience all of the playable and non-playable factions, trace their origins and build a new future for the Star Union.You start by picking your main faction and secret tech in the game. Then you assign perks for your commander that determines his personal loadout and background. This will determine the type of leader he is (ranging from Scholar of the Emperor to a Party Animal). Age of Wonders characters have never been more detailed, and you can fully customize your Commander’s appearance In Planetfall, a tech tree is composited from your choice of faction and secret tech, and you can use the modules from it to customize your units with new weapons, defensive systems, and special abilities.Research is split into military and society research. By building knowledge income, you can research things faster. Doctrines will allow you to speed particular branches of research.On the world map: Terraforming, like the Dvar ability to remove mountains. You can create hazards (ranging from biohazards to dimensional rifts) which will make entire sectors inhospitable. And of course doomsday weapons; the deadliest weaponry that a player can get. In combat, almost everything is destructible and explosions splatter the world with destruction decals.The metaverse is a pretty big place…At a minimum level, we will have the same amount as in AoW III. We like mods and would like to support it from day one, but please note however that we can’t make any promises at this point.The game uses a new generation of Triumph’s Creator Engine . 64 bit architecture, new render engine and new network layer, meaning an even more immersive experience overall.We will dive in and explain multiplayer in detail in the future!PC, PS4 and Xbox One.We have nothing to communicate regarding Linux support at this moment.______Thanks for your support and be sure to follow us on all platforms for the latest updates!Twitter: https://twitter.com/aplanetfall Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AoWPlanetfall/ (Unofficial) Discord: https://discord.gg/eJ9WdWk Forum: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?forums/age-of-wonders-planetfall.1009/ Age of Wonders: Planetfall - FIRST LOOK / Vanguard StreamAge of Wonders: Planetfall - Kir'Ko StreamAge of Wonders: Planetfall - Dvar StreamAge of Wonders: Planetfall - Amazon Stream
