Races/Nations are a new feature added in Age of Fantasy and Age of World Wars. Players in those games are allowed to choose one race or nation out of a selection. This affects styles of play by giving unique characteristics, structures and units.

Races[]

There are six races existed currently in AoF. Those are:

  • Humans
  • Undead
  • Elves
  • Orcs
  • Dwarves (Under development)
  • Scaledfolk (Under development)

The Human race is focused on a generalist playstyle that closely matches Age of Strategy. While their general catalogue of units lack the specialties of other races, their siege machines, powerful workers and naval power allows them to hold a dangerous edge. They dominate by investing in powerful technologies and upgrades, combined with easy setup of logistics and a diverse set of offensive options. Human production buildings include the Barracks, Archery Range, Stable and Wizard's Tower. Their super building is the Castle.

The Undead focuses on rapid offense and spells. Their main characteristic is the ability to resurrect corpses with a caster, allowing them to easily cover losses and grow faster in strength during a battle. These corpses can also be used for other means, such as restoring health or creating deadly, temporary units. Most of the units can walk slowly on water and have higher piercing armor than other units. Undeads can dominate a game by using corpses and production buildings well to overwhelm opponents early on before transitioning to the weaker late game. Their production buildings include the Graveyard, Crypt and Dark Altar. Their super building is the Mansion.

Elves specialise in speed and range. Their most powerful weapon is their archers and mounts, which can create long-range deathballs or snipe down enemy forces. However, they are weak when faced with melee combat and have low options when it comes to tackling fortifications. Elven production buildings include the Elven Archery Range and Glade Headquarters. Their super building is the Great Tree.

Orcs are powerful and deal heavy blows faster than others. They can mass produce incredibly dangerous wolf riders, as well as having a very diverse set of super units which can overdrive an army's strength to unprecedented heights. Their spellcasters can also help units wreak havoc by having access to the Trample buff. Orc production includes the Orc's Tent, Shaman's hut and Beast's Den. Their super building is the Volcano.

Nations[]

There are five nations currently existing in AoW:

  • United States
  • Germany
  • Soviet Union
  • United Kingdom
  • Japan
