    What's crazy is Ursa Ryan did basically this same strat totally "legit" on a random okay start and without the age of blood and still managed to get like 20 vassals or so by midgame and just absolutely ran away with the game on the highest difficulty. They probably need to cap the forced marches/reinforcement uses per unit per turn and fix the math so you can't be paid gold to have army, and maybe reduce the amount of healing those raiders get or something. Local reforms lets you giga capital while still spawning a ton of units and taking a ton of vassals. Then if you want some more cities later you can just integrate the best ones whenever. This build can get pretty unhinged.

    @10:50 I'd have to guess the Crossbow should be x3.0 damage but is instead +3.0x damage, thus dealing 4x damage... which is all kinds of pun worthy in a 4X game.

  • @Voromire1
    @Voromire1 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Most of Spiff's exploits are just minor oversights that can be used in ridiculous ways.
    But this? This genuinely makes absolutely no sense. There can't POSSIBLY be a way to counter this. The Age of Blood is so powerful for combat focused players and so detrimental to the rest, that it seems like there would be no reason to do anything else. Though, I guess I am thinking about PvP, and I don't even know if it's in this game lol

    For everyone excited for this game, remember: Multiplayer will NOT be available on launch.
    (They'll have cloud hotseat, which is you play a singeplayer game, play 1 turn, save, send it to another player, they download it, play 1 turn, save, send it, and repeat for each player until it's back to you and so on. Proper Multiplayer won't be available)

  • @ForemostCrab7
    @ForemostCrab7 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I love exploits in these kinds of games.
    In Age of Wonders 4 you can choose the Chosen Destroyers Trait, what this does is that every single settlement or outpost that you raze, you get a permanent gold income increase, aswell as for every 3 population the city had, 1 population goes to the nearest of Your cities, and since Chosen Destroyers cannot have more than one city, that means it always goes to the same place.
    Now if you grow the Chaos Empire Tree, you will eventually reach the Spoils of Destruction skill, this adds another 20 permanent gold income every time you raze a city.
    And as a cherry ontop, if you're playing as a Dragon Lord, you have an innate trait that is Dragon Hoard which will give you even more additional gold for every unequipped item.
    Now, for the Fruits of our Labor, You find another Ruler, trigger them into declaring justified war (otherwise you take a permanent imperium decrease, which is detrimental) and now you start raiding their lesser cities, keep in mind, every time you raze a city, it will net you around a scaling 50 gold income, now that you've razed all their cities and only thing last is their Throne City, you put Outposts around their city, and simply leave, let them capture, and build it up as a city, now since it's a fresh baby city, it's defenses will be hot garbage, so you can siege it in a single turn, you raze it, then establish another outpost, rinse and repeat until you think your gold income is high enough to support WAY too many soldiers.
    Have fun swarming the world!
