Ancient Warfare 3 is a sandbox battle simulator where you set up conflicts across eras ranging from the Stone Age and medieval period to modern and science-fiction settings. You can play modes such as deathmatch, conquest, king of the hill, and zombie survival.
In the custom battle editor, arrange units, terrain, objects, and traps, set rules and behaviors, and choose equipment. Then play out the battle yourself or watch it unfold. You can also browse and play battles and campaigns made by other players.
Separate editors let you design units, weapons, equipment, and objects. An event-based visual scripting system allows you to customize rules and behavior for battles, units, objects, and the player.
In this review sample, players often enjoy the freedom to build and replay custom battles, maps, and units, with the range of settings and community-made content giving them many ways to experiment. Several also appreciate the editors and scripting for letting them create elaborate scenarios. Some reviewers find the tools difficult to learn or the map-making process time-consuming, and a few criticize the AI or describe the game as rough.
