I absolutely love AoW so I’m glad to see Ursa playing it. I’m a big fan of nature builds myself. Getting a zoo to run over your enemies is always fun! 🐘 🐊 🐺
at about 13 min in when you were confused about the AI running your hero back and forth it was because you do bonus charge damage the further away your come from when jousting on spiders. Would love to see more AoW4 content, there's some hilariously broken stuff you'd enjoy.
Civ6 was my first, and while I have seen Ursa Potato et al. showcase these other games they always fell flat. This is the very first time I instantly knew I found the next thing. Wtf that combat made me feel feelings.
That "after action" report showing the empire evolution is very cool and I'd like to see something like it in Civ. I'm thinking about games where it went horribly early and you made a ridiculous comeback and you could see the point of being overwhelmed and then when the tides turn
@@UrsaRyan it really is a great timeline. a lot of it is just how sexy the map looks when zoomed out. Old World also has a good after action report and timeline.
This game is pretty special. And with a second season of DLC confirmed it should provide plenty of new tomes and races to the game. Still getting through the new eldritch realms content.
I personally think magic is the best resource in the game especially late game as you can just spawn units mapwide, cast spells in battle upgrade with global buffs and even upkeep units with it. I have a mech build where I spawn in whole armies of steam tanks that can solo whole hero army stacks the late game ai likes to use.
This game is nothing like Civ though (well, I guess there is one aspect like earlier Civs: is that science (research) is everything and one does not need to build anything else in one's cities). Just make 6 heroes (1 leader + 5 heroes) and spend all your imperium on hero cap. 6 heroes with wisps and golems (tomes of summoning and artificing) as well as magic evocations will wipe anything in the game.
I've been meaning to get rhis AOE4 myself. The thing is that I'm not particularly interested getting into another solo gaming experience at the moment. I've been wanting something like one of my favorite tbs games, Eador (It didn't age well). I still play Endless Legends and I think AOE4 will be an similar if not better experience overall. Be a Wizard King is right up my ally.
battle/siege mechanics are 1 to 1 replicas to total war combat. The best combat that meshes skill expressiveness and simpleness is the most pleasing. Supreme combat technique.
hopefully this video proves it but it took me 2 games and I'm pretty up to speed in it! Giev it a go, it's hugely customisable but the core mechanics are simple
good first experience will say there's alot you missed but is too be expected like the tomes giving the value of things like the first game the tomes giving you empire essence each tome type has a playstyle and you had in that game the vassal and being holy build so gold and imperium is heavy in that but on like shadow(purple) it is heavy research and mana costly so one resource more important then other is more about what books you are playing and so much more like item forge too unit augments too race maker(big one)
A bit of advice for anyone looking into this game, it's really, REALLY focused on the combat, and simming is basically non-existent. A lot of people like that, but it wasn't to my taste.

You want an interesting time? Try playing as a dragon.
This game made me realise how many 4x games are historical. It's cool to see a game with a much more wacky theme.
"over an unfathomably large amount of tea" - I don't know about that, kid; I can fathom quite a lot of tea
I feel we would be friends
@@UrsaRyan That's nice to hear, and I agree. You seem a decent sort
@@UrsaRyan I feel like Spiffing Brit might have something to say about that line

Can't wait to try it myself!!

I was waiting for the Tuscany grind!! 😢
same haha that game is intense
It’s my evening bedtime story 😢
Building the suspense for 1 more day 🙂 Just a small showcase of a jousting spider in the meantime!
The ursa power needing charging 1 more night :]
Arghh Ursa why did you do it to us...I hope there will be double tuskany load next time😂😂😂
Early Age of Wonders Bears? Huzzah!
Huzzah!
Civ6 was my first, and while I have seen Ursa Potato et al. showcase these other games they always fell flat. This is the very first time I instantly knew I found the next thing. Wtf that combat made me feel feelings.
I can properly say that I had teh same reaction playing - I was like, where has this been my whole life??
Great game. Age of Wonders 4 is a mix between Heroes 3 and Civ 6. The only thing it's missing is the godly soundtrack of Age of Wonders 1.
Heroes 3 is such a good comparisson!
That "after action" report showing the empire evolution is very cool and I'd like to see something like it in Civ.

It's a very cool screen agree!

Not normally one for the non-Civ videos, but AoW4 is a good one.
Well worth a crack!
Please do more AoW4 content! I love this game and wish it got more attention from streamers and content creators.
I'm planning my next game already!!
Delighted to see AoW4 on this channel.
Ooh, you could play one of the pillaging focused civilizations, that's be very on-brand.
I can't wait!!
Huge fan of this game, the customization and how different games feel make this endlessly fun
Yay!!! Finally!!! I remember that when AOW came out I asked if you'd play it! My wishes came true!
Huzzah!!
This game is pretty special. And with a second season of DLC confirmed it should provide plenty of new tomes and races to the game. Still getting through the new eldritch realms content.
So much fun so far! Glad you're enjoying it
Confused huzzah 🎉
Keeping early bears on their toes huzzah!!
And I was looking forward to your next Civ episode :/
Oh well, I am happy that you got sponsored though! GJ! I will return for the next video :)
Civ is back tomorrow!
I'm a fan of AoW4! Love the Civ6 content but would be very happy to see more AoW4 also!
More to come I hope!
£626 - Age of Wonders? More like the Age of the University of Sankore.
Stunningly pretty game!
It sure is!
love your civ6 comics Ursa!
Yay! Thank you = )
Huzzah I'm finally back
Huzzah!
Pardox have pretty good games CK3 is so good and this game also looks really good
Ok, gonna admit, this seems like it could scratch the Civ itch while we wait for 7
I'm having a lot of fun with it I can't lie!
Haven't played a game in this series in forever
i never thought this day would come...
Would love to see you play AOW4 Series.
Soon!
Really interesting to see a Civ veteran play AoW4 for the first time
hope you enjoy!
Earliest bear, Huzzah!!
Huzzah!!
Hail the Earliest Bear!
🙌🙌🙌
I heard of Age of Wonders before, but I didn't know that it was basically a mixture of Civ and HoMM 😲
it's SO much fun!!
@@UrsaRyan yeah I bought it after watching your Video 😅😂
I'd like to see more of this one
AOW4 is one of my favourite games it’s really good I honestly like it more than civ also all aow4 DLC’s are worth it but dragon dawn is my favourite
I need to give it a try!
I personally think magic is the best resource in the game especially late game as you can just spawn units mapwide, cast spells in battle upgrade with global buffs and even upkeep units with it. I have a mech build where I spawn in whole armies of steam tanks that can solo whole hero army stacks the late game ai likes to use.
I think you might be onto something!
Ha! I wanted to see UrsaRyan play AOW4!
more to come!

Honestly give it a go - I put it off for ages and I'm not sure why!!
Custom Early Bear faction when?
early bears! huzzah!
Huzzah!
*How could you put this mid series, Ursa, noooooo, but well done for another sponsor!* 💪👍
hehe keeping you in suspense
🖖
Huzzah!
when you go back to civ 6, do gedermos pueblo please.
or the civ 5 version of spain isabella.
MY DREAMS HAVE COME MORE THAN TRUE, THEY HAVE BECOME HUZZAH
Huzzah!
This has a lot of warhammerish mechanics, but it works well with this game
Agree!
battle/siege mechanics are 1 to 1 replicas to total war combat. The best combat that meshes skill expressiveness and simpleness is the most pleasing. Supreme combat technique.
A game that very much rewards good tactics!
So glad other studios are picking it up. Any game that has stacks of units should have this as a base for their approach for the battle mechanics.
Aww maaan, everybody featuring the same game tonight. SadCivNerdNoises*.
You'll have to forgive us having some fun elsewhere for an evening!
"That's what she said"... and that made me sad😁
On the plus side, they're getting paid to try something new. And getting paid supports the Civ stuff.
This is really cool combat! Not a fan of the spiders though 😳 !
Neither is sleepy!
I'm thinking of buying this. But it feel so overwhelming. What is your takes on this?
hopefully this video proves it but it took me 2 games and I'm pretty up to speed in it! Giev it a go, it's hugely customisable but the core mechanics are simple
Play the city lights civ 6 mod!!!!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Jousting Spiders ... lol
Says all you need to know!
good first experience will say there's alot you missed but is too be expected like the tomes giving the value of things like the first game the tomes giving you empire essence each tome type has a playstyle and you had in that game the vassal and being holy build so gold and imperium is heavy in that but on like shadow(purple) it is heavy research and mana costly so one resource more important then other is more about what books you are playing and so much more like item forge too unit augments too race maker(big one)
This was only my first two games after all! Can't wait to find out more
early bears where we at
Huzzah!
Daily comment.
Huzzah!
I played an absolutely ridiculous amount of age of wonders 2. Don't think I've got 4 yet though.
worth a go!
When does the Civ 6 Expert come in?
Definitely check out some of his deity++ playlists if you haven't seen them!
Get me some Aloe Vera for that burn
First we got ursa back before gra6
more?
soon!
A bit of advice for anyone looking into this game, it's really, REALLY focused on the combat, and simming is basically non-existent. A lot of people like that, but it wasn't to my taste.
Auto combat I find really helps to balance it - speeds the game along nicely!
VID BOOTING COMMENT
Yeah, usra on AOW 4, maybe dont play on harder level.
I already am ! = )
What is this??? Some type of moving fluff Vid?
