If you want to use this FAQ for your website you must ask my permission, email me at AverMan62@Hotmail.com, and you must not modify it in any way and do it with this the Warning in it. Also specify that you want to use the Age of Wonders:
Battle Tactics FAQ in your email. I can't stress this enough, PLEASE keep my
FAQ updated. If you do use it and I find out, trust me I WILL, you'll be in some serious legal trouble!!! Thanks to all who cooperate. ^^
Age of Wonders is a trademark of Triumph Studios
| Intro |
This FAQ shows a list of the good and bad features of the races in Age of
Wonders. I did this by giving an overall description of the race then the pros and cons. Then I listed their units and gave a list their pros and cons. I went in depth on the units level three and up because that's where the races shine.
I mentioned some strategies you can use in and out of Combat Mode. The special units are also listed here like the dragons and the elementals. On top of all that I have the special traits of all of the units in the game.
But why make a FAQ on Age of Wonders: Battle Tactics? I feel that this game deserves it. After all it is the best turn-based strategy game that was ever released. Well it's the best turn-based I've ever played. ^^ Plus, I would like to share my knowledge of Age of Wonders units and battling strategies. I hope some people might become inspired by my walkthrough and, hopefully, make other
FAQS about Age of Wonders.
Well now that we got that cleared up, lets begin.

This section is describes all 12 races plus the special units that you find in the game. For each race I give you the overall description, pros, cons, and the stats of each unit. This is provided for those who don't have an instruction booklet and thanks to SnaPnTaP911 for providing the stats.
Note: When you see a "..." by any unit is means it is a standard unit and is basically the same throughout all of the other races. Or it means that I can't find anything wrong with this unit. This mostly applies to level one units but there are few exceptions.
Priestly abilities apply for priests. This is a broad description of the common abilities a priest may have. Examples: Dispel Magic 1, Turn Undead 1, Healing
|| Elves ||
| Overall |
Elves are best in hand-to-hand combat and archery. Their archers can do more damage than many of the other races and their level one swordsman have higher attack. Unfortunately they are a little weaker in defense than most of the other races. When leading the race of elves into battle, you must plan your moves carefully because it could mean the difference between winning and losing. It is also advised that you ally with another race, which makes up for the Elves low defense like the Dwarves.
| Pros |
- Higher attack then most other races
- All humaniod races have the forestry ability
- Archers have the Markmanship I ability
- Many of their units have magic abilities
| Cons |
- Very weak on defense
| Strategies |
Since the Elves have so many advantages, winning shouldn't be a problem. Be aware of their lower defense. To make up for this you should pick the Life and/or Earth spheres for their defensive spells. When picking skills for your leader consider giving him more defenses, the leadership ability, or more spells casting ability. When starting out your first adventuring party should consist of 4 swordsman, 3 archers, and either a nymph or a battering ram.
Nymphs are useful only in the beginning of the game so don't invest lots of time producing them. As you begin to move up to producing level two/three units, continue to produce archers. They can prove vital in combat and give you the advantage you need. Use the Fairy and the Ranger as scouts for new cities and spying on your enemies. When taking out enemy leaders, use the ranged attackers and Earth spell entangle to your advantage.
