Age of Wonders III Modding Support – Coming Soon

Have you ever wondered how AoW3 would be if it just had this awesome unit, or that epic spell? Well, it’s time to put on your creative hat and find out!

We’re happy to announce modding support for AoW3 is in the works! We plan to release modding support as part of our next patch, so the wait shouldn’t be too long. We are still busy adding features, hunting bugs and polishing it all up for you. But overall things are shaping up nicely and we’re excited to see what kinds of creative and crazy things you guys and girls will come up with.


Example of a unit created by mix-and-matching parts from the large existing game asset library.What you see here is a cadaver wielding necromancer’s scythe riding a nightmare horse.

You’ll be able to overhaul game balance, add new specializations or even a brand new units! These mods can then be shared with the global player base, via Steam Workshop or the mod site of your preference. You won’t be able to do all-the-things – e.g. change core gameplay, models or textures – but if its something our designers can do it, you’ll can do it too. Mods can be enabled and disabled in the launcher – so you can pick and choose which you’ll use – and can even be used in multiplayer.

We’ll tell you all more about the features and limitations in upcoming updates, so stay tuned!
