Jolly Joker, you are correct! We were definitely inspired by the Warlords games. We were real Warlords fans back in 90ies

Hey, Arnout! Nice to see you here as well. Yes, I definitely remember playing AoW for the first time and thinking, nice, that's like playing an improved Warlords II, except the combat is infinitely better.
I remember buying a Sega Genesis with a Japan adapter specifically in order to play "Advanced Daisenryaku" or Advanced Military Commander (which in 1994 was ported by SSI to a game called Panzer General), then going nuts on Master of Orion in 93, with Warlords 2 as a welcome diversion, replacing the latter with Panzer General in 94, going back to Warlords 2 Deluxe version in 95, and then in 96 becoming irrevocably hooked on Heroes of Might and Magic 2.
Anyway, I'm really curious what you guys came up with for your new game. You know, I've been in a professional relationship with Ubisoft since 2005, and when Ubisoft decided not to continue the work with Nival for HoMM 6 (or M&M: Heroes 6 as it was called), I tried to get them to contact you, because I thought, if someone would be able to come up with a HoMM game design that would blow all predecessors out of the water it would be Triumph Studios, but alas, they had other plans. As it turned out (imo, at least) Ihad been right then, because you came up with AoW 3 which I felt was exactly what a sequel should be.
Brings back good memories these classics. I played a lot of Battle Island and History Line 1914-1918. And I was totally addicted to Heroes 2 as well.
Yes that's correct!
And don't forget the Triumph interview at 17:30

It's a land-based - not space - 4X in a sci-fi setting. So lasers not bows : ).
Much more upbeat than grim dark.
