Age of Wonders II has the only Age of Wonders campaign that I haven’t played. This means that there is a gap in my knowledge with regards to the lore of the franchise. Since AoW3’s plot essentially ended with a reset (let’s pretend that AoW3 didn’t happen and go back to the characters of AoW2) I thought that it would be good to brush up on the lore of the second game before the release of AoW4. I have played Age of Wonders II: Shadow Magic, so this is specifically about the original game Age of Wonders II: The Wizard’s Throne.

Age of Wonders II: The Wizard’s Throne is a 4X strategy game by Triumph Studios and published by Paradox Interactive.
