Frequently Asked Questions
How long will the game be in early access?
That's always hard to predict, but the current plan is to end early access at the beginning of 2021.

And no, that does not mean the end of development, but more stable updates that are focused on content.

How often are updates released?
There is no fixed schedule for that, but most of the time updates are released biweekly with smaller bug fixing patches in between.

Use !update in the Discord server to see the release date of the next update

Will there be mod support?
There is no mod support planned. However, the game offers many possibilities for customization, workshop support for battles and custom units and more will follow.

How many people are working on the game?
Just one

Will there be multiplayer?
The game is meant to be a single player game. Although, there could be a coop building mode in the future.

What are the system requirements to run the game?
The requirements can change during early access. The up to date requirements are available on the steam store page

Below are some answers and thoughts on the most suggested features/content:

Improve the AI
Improving the AI is one of the most important aspects of the game. Improving it requires a lot of testing, because there are so many possibilies in AW3 which result in many special cases in which the AI has to do stuff differently. Parts of the AI has already been improved in the past and the current focus is on to transforming the AI in a satisfying and stable state.

Ranged weapons on horses
As already described above, the AI is being changed a lot before the end of early access and before adding new features to it, it also has to work properly.But ranged weapons on horses will definetly be in the game.

Battleships
There are already some smaller ships in the game and at the moment, it's not planned to add large modern ships. There could be small moderns battleships in the future, but nothing in the size of an aircraft carrier or a large battleship

Neutral team/more teams/custom teams/...
Since the first game jam prototype of the game, there were only blue and red guys in the game.
It's the core concept and will not be changed in the future.

Fix ships/vehicles/adding more of those
Ground vehicles like tanks are very broken at the moment. There are fundamental problems with their movement, because in most maps, there is not enough space for vehicles to navigate properly.However, with the focus on AI, ground vehicles will either be changed in the way they work or removed in a future version of the game.

Maintaining the ship functionality is difficult during early access, because changes to the AIs on a ship also means changes to the behaviour of ships. In addition to that, units on ships use the movement system that got introduced in Ancient Warfare 2 at some point. There are a lot of bugs in that system and the plan is to use AW3's new system of all units.

Until the problems are resolved, no new vehicles will be added to the game!

Please add specific gun/armor/...
Obviously this game needs a lot of fixes and polishing. A lot of community suggested content and features got added to the game in the past. All those content/features need to work well before new stuff will be added. It's very unlikely that a specific weapon/armor you suggest will be added before the end of early access.

Content is still going to be added during early access, but if there are already 10 modern full auto rifles, there wont be a 11th.

Considering he literally just fixed them up and put them back in the game... probably not!

hey I have a major bug that has been going on for months now and i can no longer see anything but my units, when i place tanks i can only see the units on top of them and i cant see the tank itself, i cant see backrounds or the entire map either, all i see is the atmosphere, it makes it near impossible to play and I was wondering if there is any way to fix this?


Lols 25 Aug, 2020 @ 9:37am

First things first, let's make sure your hardware is compatible with the game and meets the system requirements. Some people mistake AW3 for a low-performance game because of its looks, but you'd be surprised.

Could you tell us your system specs? Specifically your GPU, CPU and RAM. Give us that and we'll do our best to help.
