The Age of Wonders Series
Age of Wonders is a turn based fantasy strategy/roleplaying game hybrid. The original game, Age of Wonders, was published in 1997. You can download the demo here. The sequel, Age of Wonders 2, was published in 2002. You can download the demo here. Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic was released in summer 2003, it is essentially the same game that was released in 2002 with a more units, a much more powerful editor, and a random map generator.
These games offer multi-map campaigns, individual maps, and a map editor. The map editor is what makes these games worthwhile. The fan community has used the map editors to produce some excellent maps that surpass what was originally available. My own maps are found here and at the Age of Wonders Heavens sites (see Forums and Links).
Mods for AoW SM
The AoW2 community over at Heavens Games have produced quite a few mod packages that change the game in various ways. Check them out here.
