I'm actually so god damn hype for this now being an age of wonders 4 channel. The first series inspired me to buy the game and now I'm obsessed too.

@dominges Жыл бұрын

I am in love with this game too. BTW I am shocked that none of the YT channels ever tried to build a doom stack of heroes only by now! You don't need to pay mana for enchants and every "unit" is a potential BOSS dmg entity that have the ability to at least heal it self or/and others. The only downside is that you pay 30 gold for upkeep per "unit" xD

@JManRox13 Жыл бұрын

That's a good point. I hadn't thought of that strategy before, but I bet it would be pretty fun, especially once you've leveled them all up a few times. Casually beginning each battle with 6 ultimate abilities.

I've used this single stack to take on entire empires.

This game probably has the most fun early aggressive style of any 4x game. Usually you hurt your economy but being able to simultaneously recruit units and build makes it feel so much better.

@Mihomiti Жыл бұрын

It's a tradeoff. Building draft buildings does mean you're not building economy buildings, but as long as you're using that draft to make units to conquer resources and take territory, you kind of make back that economic potential. If you just sit on the units it's a waste.

@akvyr Жыл бұрын

@@Mihomiti there is no tradeoff here. You build units from capacity that is barely used for anything else, and gain massive economic advantage that snowballs + your army snowballs due to chaos. It is what I would call broken.

@Mihomiti Жыл бұрын

@@akvyr It IS a tradeoff if you don't make effective use of the units you produce with the draft. Producing draft buildings and then not making units, or not using units is wasted production. That's how it's a tradeoff. Potato's use of draft with his build was, obviously optimal, and likely quite busted. That's not in dispute.

@akvyr Жыл бұрын

@@Mihomiti tbh producing units (thus draft capacity) IS a waste with this build. He gets an extra unit most of the time in battles. In my chaos game on brutal diff, I had 9 stacks of units by the time this video ends (turn 32 or so) just from freebies, and I stopped producing units around turn 10. In this build building an early army from your idle draft capacity allows you to snowball so hard (economically and military too) that its just busted. Its not a trade off, if it only comes with positives.

@Mihomiti Жыл бұрын

@@akvyr Not instantly, he still has to get that ability off the chaos tree, which you don't have for 20-ish turns. He is also playing on a very high difficulty and going for a pretty min-maxed build where he is producing as many units as he needs at the moment, and barely scraping by with them while he keeps other things balanced.

Nature seems insane in every stage of the game. So many good spells and summons.

@TheCarloCarlone Жыл бұрын

I dislike animal units for personal reasons. I mean conceptually, I can summon elementals and astral creatures, why would I choose simple animals? However I have to agree that nature tomes are pretty good. I did a dark culture and took the tome of roots. Being able to heal your units as dark culture is really good, poison weapons fits the roleplay and wine prison it's an underestimated crowd control.

@cavalyn Жыл бұрын

I've been using Hearty a lot lately - feels very strong when you consider a lot of early units are between 60-90hp, and that extra 10hp goes a long way. It feels a lot more impactful than most of the others. On the other hand I used to go defensive tactics for mind trait, but now am in love with swarm tactics. Never seen so many crits w/o using specific tomes!

@avlaenamnell6994 Жыл бұрын

i personaly use the fast regen, it doubles your health regen in the wild, and even lets you regen a bit in enemy territory, but i either favour that or the 10 hp like you said. for mind i like going tenacious to keep the dmg high as units get wounded ;p

I see a lot of folks trying to play chaos/spawnkin exactly how they'd run any other empire (stacking up tier 2 and 3 units asap) and end up going broke and losing a bunch of guys. Not to mention -that fire spell can do enormous damage with a big enough peasant mob to bolster the effect (15 tier 1's =45 damage / 22 splash). Anyway, gj, always entertaining

the slow movement from the greaves doesn't reduce your world movement, so it's the perfect artifact for staff wielders because they're ranged with no mount anyway. sprint is useful because you can move one tile and still make 3 attacks with the skirmisher. the sprint is especially useful after moving toward an enemy until you're one tile away from melee, hitting them with range, using your hero to give them their action points back, then sprint up to hit them 3 times. also you can use the one tile movement to reposition into a flank if you're at their front side, avoiding any retaliation while also hitting 3 times.

After watching your tome tierlist I've been running a materium brutal run and artificers I've found are amazing. They're like mega sunderers. Repeating sundering attacks with no save + said attack is physical is just great and they honestly compete with the better tier 4 options. Sundered defense also happens to lower status resistance, which just makes their own aoe stun better.

The skirmisher's get really mana expensive but they also get massive value from the 50% upkeep reduction, because upkeep reduction also affects enchantment upkeep on units.
