Or is this thought experiment heresy and the fictional races should adhere to a streamlined version of conduct such as educated, disciplined elves and brutish orcs? ![]() Sorcerer models run around in hooded cloaks, Dreadnought infantry in platemail, etc. The drawback for this freedom of choice would be a requirement for several additional types of models depending on your chosen class. As a result the setting would be less rigidly designed as your playing group dictates how the races act and behave. So here comes my question: Would tabletop players be okay with a setting in which the fictional races could be combined with any one of the above mentioned classes (or even more which could be added to the list)? The results could be anything like bookish goblins being adept at the mastery of magic with the Sorcerer class or elves with a fondness for steampunk machinery with the Dreadnought class. Dreadnought (focus on strong mechanized units weak magic) Theocrat (uncorruptible units resurrection spells) Necromancer (depending on the opposition weak or strong units) Rogue (weak combat units good economy spells focusing on deception) Druid (summons all manners of wildlife great mobility on strategic map) Sorcerer (units excel with ranged magical abilities strong magic spells) Warlord (units excel in melee weak magic spells) After the change was enacted orcs (and every other playable race) could be played with any cultural background much like humans were treated in these aspects in the past.ĭifferent cultures were visualized in the game via classes: An example would be that orcs were always presented as barbarians fond of looting and fighting in melee. What were those changes? In a nutshell the dissolution of a widely accepted concept regarding the culture of a Fantasy/Sci-fi race and the predisposition for good and evil acts however the morality aspect shouldn´t be the focus of this thread. In a few weeks Age of Wonders 4 (Fantasy strategy video game) will be released and this got me wondering, if it would be possible to enact the same changes that this gaming series went through in AoW3 (and it´s sci-fi sibling Planetfall) for a tabletop miniature game. ![]()
