The fact that a Tier 1 unit can shoot 3 times at once (if they haven't moved) and can be given an insane range with proper buffs/skills seems imbalanced, but then I remember that the design philosophy for this game essentially boils down to "if everything is OP, then nothing is OP!" and go back to my strategy of giving everything 10+ armor so they literally laugh at all weapons.
Archers were even more OP in AoW3 - everything was scaled around +1 damage instead of +10% damage like in AoW4. So everything that would have 3 attacks benefited a lot more.
This build is going to be absurd when you start siphoning morale. Your archers can merc enemies on turn one, your hero already inflicts morale damage, and once all your units do the same, you're just going to auto-rout the whole world
It seems elves have gone on crusade. And they fight in a mobile fortress, front line forming impenetrable shield wall with the hero and archers firing from behind. Helm's deep on a foot. Very nice.
hey potato, i really appreciate the AoW4 content. the intermediate level knowledge you explain in detail helps me understand how to take my game to the next level. looking forward to more AoW4!
One clarification, man - the numbers you're seeing when you hover over targets isn't the damage per hit, it's the total predicted damage. For example, when it showed your archers doing 42 damage in one of the fights, it came from them hitting for 14 per shot.
potato's charge sound effect was something else
One of the things that I really love about AoW 4 is how they finally solved the army/city production problem all previous games had. I absolutely detested and despised how for so many games you had to choose between units and a bankrupted economy or a ridiculous economy but literally no units or military strength. It really did rub me the wrong way, but I'm glad to see they finally found a way to solve the one thing that kept me from playing the games for significant amounts of time. Such a shame it took this long for them to fix this issue though.
HEYYYYYYYYYYY SPUDMASTER? Thanks for keeping the AOW 4 content coming. Love these series and learning a lot from your skilled self.
The Joy Siphoners will just shred moral. Just need the bouncing arrows book and those archers are god tier
For next upgrade, astral blood and amplified arrow is very good. Then with T4 immaterium book, you can get meteor arrow

Finally got the game a couple days ago and have been playing it like crazy. My current game I've found out that shadow and materium affinities with dark culture is absurdly powerful. Shadow and dark culture give the best research while materium provides the perfect economy. Your units are both tanks and high damage, and have plenty of buff and debuffs. then as if that wasn't good enough you get some of the best damaging spells in the game.
I really appreciate that you're actually willing to experiment. Content creators can get boring when they find a strategy they like and go "this is the only way I'll ever play the game because I have decided that there is no better way to play the game because my strategy is OP". Bonus points if they bemoan reluctantly trying a new strategy at the insistence of their followers and go "OMG, this is awesome, how come no one told me it was possible to do this before!?" before going right back to their "tried and true" playstyle because "everything else either sucks or just isn't worth it".
One of my fav builds i did was Evil High culture focused on archers. Seeker arrows is a must for another +1 range, starting awakened already in all fights when Pure Evil is so strong also. Late game transitioned to better t3 archer units like Zephyr, and can speed up ranks on unit groups late game with that spell that gives +1 rank to all units on use.
So watching this, I learned after about 100hours in and all achieves complete, that you can actually SELECT books from the overall library on tome selection, and not just the ones they present you with... I feel dumb, I can't believe I never noticed that.
Love the LegendofTotalWar reference cause it was exactly what I was thinking while watching you play
Two words, lightning arrows.
Potato: laughs over ranged builds.
Oh man those archers are hot. Looking forward to them upgrading to Glade Runners or something. I actually don't know if that's needed/worth it. Also the Tome of Amplification for the AoE arrows!
