They’re confusing because they don’t work like other strategy games – so get out of that mindset. Thanks to… the many people on the discord who helped me through this trying time. Sectors are confusing and took me way too long to work out. Updated : Now includes Residential sectors I went a while without updating this, and someone went and made their own guide. The game’s economy is a bit odd, as 4x go.
AGE OF WONDERS 3 SPECIALIZATIONS GUIDE MODS
Changing the Channel does not allow you to equip mods for that Channel – a Firearm that deals Arc damage still has to use Firearm mods. Mods from the Explosives tree probably can’t be put on Firearms, and the same flipped.Ĭonversion Mods exist for most of the groups to change the Channel of the damage that they are dealing. Mods that you research are generally limited not by a damage Channel, but by Weapon Group. Its damage type is thermal, but it cannot accept mods from the Laser tech tree. There are some Weapon Groups that don’t currently have a tech line. Examples of this are Dazzler Systems and Arc Retaliation Defense. Some Weapon Group mods are able to be equipped on anything, as specified in their descriptions. Some abilities won’t have a type this is fine, it just means that they won’t be able to equip any mods. You can’t equip Firearms mods on Explosive weapons, even though they share a damage channel.Ī weapon’s group will be specified in the bottom of its description: The operations are usually themed around the weapon group’s concept, while the mods are designed to go on weapons of that group – NOT on weapons matching the channel. These tech trees provide mods and operations. Plasma is in parentheses this is to mark that the weapon group doesn’t have a tech tree. As a general rule, if the ability is identified as being of that Weapon Group (see image below), then you can equip mods to it. The last 2 weapon groups are a bit inconsistent in their naming. Weapon Groups are associated with one primary damage type: There are weaknesses and resistances to each of these channels, which are represented as numbers just like Armor and Shields – more on that later.Įach Channel is used by at least one of the… Weapon Group(s)Įach Race in the game gets access to 2 Weapon Groups, which each have their own tech tree (the middle 2 in the military line). The game has 6 damage channels in it: Kinetic, Biological, Thermal, Arc, Psionic, Entropy This section is mostly a primer for understanding I need to shorthand later on. Cost to rush can be decreased by one of the Energy Sector specialization buildings, the Dvar innate bonus, and the Dvar T9 doctrine “Military Industrial Complex.” Probably some other stuff I can’t think of offhand. Consumes (production remaining) x 2 energy to rush, and you can only rush once per turn. Number of newly obtained mods since you last looked at mods for that unit. The fast answers like “What does this button do” The Blue Symbol There’s a lot of pages, most people don’t have that time – I sure as hell haven’t done it – and direct lookups are much harder than I would have liked them to be. If you were to read every page in the Imperial Archives, you would probably find most of the information contained here. I find the organization of the archives to be spotty at best pages are named inconsistently, there aren’t links where there should be, some of the organizational categorizations are strangely chosen, there’s flat out incorrect information in places, and oftentimes the linked pages repeat information that the page you just came from already had. There’s a page in here for many concepts in the game. There’s a button in the top right corner of your screen, looks like a book with a question mark on it, which will open the archives. The game isn’t changing and I think everything in here is accurate, but updates may still come.
Given that development has come to an end, that kind of discussion might start to work its way in. On Strategy: In the past I was trying to explicitly avoid discussions of strategy here. If something’s wrong, leave a comment or on the Planetfall discord – I’m pretty reliably floating around there if I’m awake.

If you’re from the wiki (which, by the way, is here ), feel free to grab straight from here without attribution. I’ll thank contributors in individual sections. Most of the information present here was worked out through gameplay. I’m compiling the answers that I end up giving a lot and putting them here. This game has some trouble properly explaining mechanics all over the place. Last Update: : Known issues: Residential Sectors are not reflected in this guide’s contents
