Nice video, bro! I was looking for a video like yours.

Nice video dude. Keep at it.

Great tips!

Bro. Where can I find your play throughs? These videos are very informative. I would love to watch your thought process through a game.

Love your builds. Do you have a one that is build around the Ironclad?

I still prefer 3 attacks. Wet and distracted are just insane debuffs. Easily doing 100+ damage per turn. However the higher range and combined with killing momentum makes this thing still interesting.

Hey man, good video. Very clear and concise with what you are trying to achieve. I would offer one suggestion though; Try to improve your sound quality - I only say this because audio is the number one reason that people will tune in; or out of a video and it can make a video difficult to sit through At the moment it's pretty echo-y and feels like you're speaking inside a box. Otherwise, great vid!

I love how many fun combos this game allows

nice build again^^ i would like to see your take on a spell focused build(with little to no summon)^^

Love your builds, but I am not a fan of having Zero materium,. The Imperium tree is too strong to ignore

Tome of scrying goes well with fey mists since it allows you to have true sight in cities and ambush enemies one by one.

Solid tips for sure

Any recommended changes for this build since the mystic update made magelocks better?

Finally got to your Eldritch Sovereign video, super love them as a fan of cosmic horror/Lovecraftian stuff. What synergies do you recommend for them in terms of culture, faction traits, and tomes? The mana upkeep in the early game is just nasty, especially since getting to Level 4 only takes the first few minutes of the game.

good information! does 110% hit have any benefit apart from still being high if there are reductions?

Hero weapon Pistol and Sword also benefits from the Buff dragooner got. Pistol got no cooldown

great summary!

Oh you should have showed the halos! Each sovereign gets a cute halo depending on their last upgrade

Some additional notes on this video 1. I over-emphasized keen-sighted. its not necessary and unless you already have a ranged-heavy army you are probably better off with something that helps your army more like tough, its just nice to have 2. you can craft helms in the item forge that increase your heroes accuracy, very good for magelock heroes. 3. Critical hit chance also increases your accuracy so its great to get any additional crit chance you can.

nice overview! if I may, try to speak a bit louder in the beginning of the video perhaps, I initially thought the whole video would ve been with bad audio, but good job for the rest!

Out of date, Living Fog is now a mythic unit and doesn't benefit from unit enhancements, still a good unit though.

Just recently discovered your channel and DAMN you have a lot of AOW4 content that is sorely needed in the community. I can't wait to dig my teeth into all your videos, especially the build guides. Thanking the algorithm for directing me to your channel and I hope it only continues to lead more people to you.

Thanks for the video!

BAldur gate copycat :D

very good analysis. thank you! would you agree that this Eldritch hero type is OP and breaks the game as it is now?

Very good. Have been using vassals a lot also lately

Sadly no longer as strong as it was. 1 turn cooldown and in addition reduced damage hits hard in my opinion.

Mind control spec is insane. Hope they don't get nerfed lol.

Could you explain why tome of the roots?

Subbed. Awesome build! Love age of wonders 4! Looking forward to the expansion release later today! 😁

think u forgot one, the 2nd hold in the tree of stone area

Great video!

How do yo get those units? Just from rally the leiges ??

Great stuff!

Do you prefer a Champion or Wizard King Ruler?

I'm surprised I didnt know about transmutation circle. Knew all the others. Thanks for the video.

Great idea for a build. A suggestion would be have a early mid and late game options. Eg berserker for midgame. To help those get to the endgame better

Thank you for these videos. I suck at this game. Thank you for your help 🙏

thanks for the build ! Of note, you may also want to build cities and release them as a free vassals if there is a lack of free cities or once your whispering stones become available (because you have so many). If you do, place a whispering stone for a few turns before releasing the newly built city as a vassal as increased stability gives increase vassalage once released. Combined with bannerlords and the last perks of the order tree, you can spam litteraly dozens of troops very quickly and for cheap. Or even cheaper if you build massive expeditionary forces from your vassals. :)

How do u manage to have so many ideas Also great video ty

For tip no.2, depending on the map setting (Wondrous Past trait or sometimes just big map size >9 players) and if you have DLC Empires & Ashes, ancient wonders like Vaultsphere will offer you a Forced Evolution spell as a reward. Spell, which by default costs 80/80 or 120/120 (depending on map settings), will transform a random unit (with Evolve trait ofc) in the army immediately, regardless of rank or tier or "type". A very cheap way to transform you units. Some other tips, but they are probably well known already (or should I say, more biased from my POV): - Always choose "Inspiring Leader" as a trait for your ruler and heroes, especially if you are stacking armies, regardless of unit tier. Why? You will save more gold and mana. - If possible, always choose "Military Engineering" development skill (Materium tree) - cheaper/faster outposts which you want to build preferably on gold mine (to remove upkeep) that has neighbour provinces like magic material, wonders or mana node/ruins (basically, do not choose Iron Deposit, Pastures/Oasis or anything on sea, unless you are trying to build a city from this outpost). - Even if you play military build faction, have at least one faction with relations >300 (most likely you will need a bond or another faction that likes "factions that start wars"). Why? You can buy items from them cheaper and you can sell your items to them for higher prices. - Even with still kind-of bad AI for Vassals, when you gain a Vassalage with free city, it's recommended to remove "automatic" attacks and either use them for defending themselves, clearing the infestation (you will get the rewards, don't worry) or guard one of your cities, because Vassal army counts as "Friendly army" in battles in/around your cites which they protect (and starting mid-game, Vassal armies can be powerful, i.e. around 1000 army power).

Nice, but this is going to be a costly army in terms of imperium, as every tier 4 consumes 3 imperium per turn

Now I realize this game has some balance issues 😂

Great little video, I appreciate the content! Just started getting into the mod so this is invaluable.

Good tips 👍

Thanks, pretty useful. I've been wondering lately if there is reason to go for any of these holds to form something. Although it would have been more cool if you showed their ideas and even map colours maybe. Just checked, and there are formables from hold under the Command's control with some missions, mostly generic dwarven, but Verkal Dromak has something unique, I dunno if the mission tree expands since it is rather small, but yeah, it's unique xd

Didnt know any but one of these things. Very good vid

I know it's not the most powerful, but I really love the Reavers. Not the most common fantasy tropes, but the whole conquistador/slaver theme really makes for cool thematic civs. Maybe it's because I love chaos dwarves so much in TW warhammer.

Those tips were surprisingly useful. This game has so much depth but so little readability unless you just spend time researching online. Subbed.

Angry but thankful comment.
