This has a lot of potential. I loved every game in the series so far. AoW still has one of the best, most memorable sound tracks I've ever come across.

I haven't played any of the Age of Wonders games. Which one would you folks recommend, Age of Wonders, Age of Wonders 2, or Age of Wonders Shadow Magic?
I wouldn't say no to a new overlord game either. The first two weren't bad. I thought the company was in trouble after the silence after overlord 2.
Overlord's gameplay was fairly limited and simplistic but it had it's charm and writing was good(first one had better story overall but second one was funnier imo).I did buy first 2 games and I would buy third(and I hope they do make i at some point) I am just bit concerned about this guys ability to make complex turn based strategy.Also as far as I know overlord sold better than publisher predicted that is probably reason they got AoW 3.

I'd just start with AoW1 and take it from there. It's an interesting world, which makes playing through the campaign well worth it. I actually play through the AoW campaigns every couple of years or so because they're so good.
Yeah, it is pretty awesome to have a sequel comming this year.
If you want more info in the form of screenshots, polls and general Age of wonders nostalgia, try my AoW 3 fanpage
This is pretty neat. Age of Wonders 3 doesn't need a publisher because Markus "Notch" Persson (creator of Minecraft) is funding it.
