With the Holidays approaching fast, we have a bit of a different kind of Journal for you: a gift to all you Age of Wonders 3 players.
The Age of Wonders 3 Holiday update features a dozen new types of head gear to be used with the Leader Customizer. The set includes sinister cloak hoods plus Undead and Frostling themed head gear in anticipation of the upcoming expansion, set for Q1 2015
As with other head pieces it takes on player colors; so if you want to create a Santa, select the new fluffy Santa hat, ensure to pick a red and white color scheme and choose a big bearded dwarf. Or select a hooded skull mask if Santas aren’t your thing. Al lot of these accessory types were tricky or time intensive to make (such as the hoodies), so they didn’t make it in the original release. Hurrah to Daniel for pulling it off!
All the head gear is available for all the classes and races, so get these updates from Steam (Auto update) and GoG (download patch) and get customizing now to look at your Christmas best.
Thank you for making the game such a success this year.
Happy Holidays!
- Team Triumph
