The people who are saying you cannot play the game without a Triumph account are wrong
The people who are saying you cannot play the game without a Triumph account are wrong. You can easily click the "offline/guest" button and play without an account. If you want to get online and play multiplayer, then you will need a free account that I have not received any spam associated with. This account thing is a non-issue, most people won't need one anyway. As far as the gameplay and mechanics, it is the best example of a Heroes of Might and Magic style in a long time, and in my opinion, much better done than any of the recent HOMM actual games. The gameplay is involved but not overcomplicated. The maps can be randomly generated to provide for continued interest, you can customize your races and classes in a way that makes the strategic play exciting. I highly recommend this game as someone who likes 4x and strategy games, I play this far more than Starcraft, Civ 5/6, Endless Legends, Gal Civ, or Endless Space.

It has been almost one-year since release, I've been playing this game constantly for almost the full year
It has been almost one-year since release, I've been playing this game constantly for almost the full year. Incredibly addictive coupled with vast replayability and a veritable smorgasbord of options, units, spells, structures, and game mechanics... and the developers have only expanded on the deep content with Golden Realms and the upcoming release of Eternal Lords. I am not normally a review-writer or poster but this is hands down the best game of the genre I've ever played, including Master of Magic. Only a few fairly minor issues - mostly having to do with requested features such as added victory conditions, more customization options, and more gameplay options have been addressed by the developers or are in the process of being addresed. Kudos to Triumph. They've certainly earned the name. A long-time player of other 4 x games I would enthusiastically recommend this for any fan of the genre. I definitely encourage anyone on the fence to try it out!

A game with admirable depth, complexity and variety
A game with admirable depth, complexity and variety. I'm a fool for the big map game so that's what I play on and it makes for a LONG playthrough. Wonders III allows you to pick once of several different classes to play (ArchDruid, Warlord, Sorcerer, etc.) and each has it's own unique troop tree. You also have different races, from Draconian to Elves, that provide different strenghts and weaknesses. You build your city, draft your armies, explore the map and interact with other AI players for better or for worse. The AI seems predisposed to dislike you, which is kind of nice if you are used to games where it's easy to play "politics" with the AI oppoents through a little gift giving and pocket lining. Takes a bit more to win a friend in Wonders III. The armies rank up which means keeping your troops alive and training them up becomes important. If you treat everthing like fodder then you'll fall behind as more "professional" armies start taking the field. The game has a little bit of everything for the turn-based gamer, the role-player and the city builder. Right up my alley, anyway.
