You completely ignored stability after you took the nature boom from the fairy event,it made your stability look good,thus,after you lost it,your economy broke (the moment you were at +30 and saw that the slithers evolved) and you started to generate less yields. Provinces rebelled at the end of the video because of your stability!!!
The real ultra-high-level play would be to unequip all your heroes after you're done with your turn so you can maximize gold/mana income from idle items.
Lol. I suggested that very thing last episode. Seems like a no brainer for that ability. Definitely would be worth it and the only time it would matter is if you get attacked during the AI turn.
Now I'm curious just how much time that would add to each turn and the overall game.
But could you be bothered?
@@Tubalcain422 That's an incredibly tedious cheese.
Feels like lot of work, which I would definitely forget about.
the gilded golem's super high blight resistance is probably in reference to the extreme corrosion resistance of gold irl :)
Not true, I have seen many a man corroded by gold.
Very clear mans has not had to deal with overexpanding and negative stability before and it shows
After seeing you struggle with the diplomacy this game, I think it would be fun if you tried the "Hero of the Ages"-challenge to win by forming an allience with all the dragons, on the side of Ruin as well as the side of Preservation.
Msistborn reference
@@heeff It's called "the Ashen Wars"
I wonder why my people are rebelling *flashback to when he yoinked a book that would finish his bolt research butt lose 26 stability *
To comment on the Lost Mages, you can't recruit them in the usual manner in anyway. However if you use the polymorph spell/ability on them, than murder their moral, you can use the Final Ultimatum spell from the Order Tome of Subjugation. Polymorph turns them into a tier one unit til the end of the battle making them both easier to route for Final Ultimatum, and vulnerable to mind control, but once the battle is over it wears off and they turn back into a Lost Mage under your control.
I'm thankful for Final ultimatum as an option in the game
Works to for the mage bane, a portable spell jammer hahaha
@agus_beckly6843 actually when I tried it didn't work as it still had its spell jammer ability so I couldn't cast final ultimatum.
One could say in a draconic army - everything scales. 🙃
Don't forget to put unused whispering stones in cities in order to gain stability.
i feel like a ton of the power of the build is the economic advantage of having dead evolving units respawn
There's a couple of interactions the play testers missed. For instance, the final order perk gives battlemages the ability to inflict weakness. Unfortunately, they inflict weakness on themselves when they use twin awakening.
Ohhhhhh thats why I see weakness in awakeners, I dint realized that interaction
your provinces all rebelled at once because you failed to do the quest to kill an enemy unit stack before the time limit, and you had just selected a negative boon instead of picking the mark of mana.
I must respectfully disagree with your take on the Tome of Fertility.
Nymphs and their ability to charm is absolutely busted, and i have possessed many tier 5 units in a fight just by lowering their magical resistance.
I also can agree with that. Nymphs, Lightbringers, and the rare Charmed hero can easily turn the tide of a battle if they get charmed off. Having control over an enemy really will mess with enemy lines and even if the enemy army kills them within the next turn they wasted so many actions to do it and loss a unit in their army.
Sometimes you can also get tier 5s in your possession...and well that usually is going to end badly for the AI. The only real danger to using Nymphs and Lightbringers (or a hero that can Charm) is that if they die the charm wears off and they are pretty squishy.
On the otherhand though if your good with positioning chances are the AI won't get the chance to kill them. A human enemy player on the other hand will be gunning for them if they know how good they are.
Taverns? Bathhouses? Anything for Stability other than a temporary Nature Boon?
I think dragons could be powerful with materium start because.you.can dig up a lot of items with scouts.
you got rebelions cause you have bad hapiness in your cities, need to build some taverns, your cities have a lot of domain ^^ 42:35 you can see they are angry in the city info
Well, I bought this game and now I’m addicted… it may run like a slideshow on my laptop, but I’m still enjoying it a ton. This series also makes me very excited for the update, it looks like it’s going to be epic.
The diplomacy system needs a little work. Especially in the end game, how much people like you seems to have no relationship with whether they ally up or declare war when you trigger the win spells. I was playing yesterday, I was ride-or-die with two neighbours and forever warring with another. When I cast the magic victory spell, my allies broke off with me, but my hated enemy peaced out and started sucking up. Even more annoying, this counted as ME breaking treaties, so my karma (I was pure good) took a massive hit.
It's been the same with Planetfall.
As soon as an Invasion started, or you launched your Victory protocol, half of the world wanted an immediate alliance, and the other half - war. Regardless of your past relations in most cases. Which was nice in some cases, but also made a whole game diplomacy up to that point redundant.
And if you turned "allied victory" off for that game, the case was simpler - the whole world turned hostile. XD
For the Karma part... damn, this doesn't sound right. :/
Vassals won't be able to break off on their own, but that's not exactly the usual way while you're playing as the good guys (vassalage = you have defeated them previously and actually don't care for relations anymore).
If your going slithers, shouldnt you get shepard on your heroes?
He should.
You completely lost me at 8:01 the only downside with evolving a tier 1 unit to a tier 3 is that it doesn’t have any experience. 😮 You have a tier 1 unit that can evolve multiple times. Continuing to get stronger. Not sure what you mean.
I kinda get what he saying but he also didn't get the trait that makes evolve units gain more stats. he basally saying you put all the time and effort to evolve one unit when the levels could have gone on to another
I have yet to try Age of Wonders 4. Looks fun, just not confident how much I would play it. It’s very fun to watch all of your content though. I miss starships though. And I would love to see more multiplayer.
@@jgalvan09 There was nothing wrong with his initial sentence besides the redundant yet at the end. "I have yet gotten" is not grammatically correct. The correct form would be "I have not yet gotten." The word "not" is necessary to create the negative form, and it should come before the auxiliary verb "have."
the constant false denouncement from your "allies" is hilarous
15:10 You can retreat units in manual combat. That would've saved the puppy but there is also a chance that it still dies. Still better than 100% death.
A lot of your evolvong units start out at T1, thus the T2 order tomes might be interesting. One of them has the Might of the Meek enchantment to buff your T1s.
Might of the Meek will stop working once the slither hatchlings evolve, as the effect only applies to Tier 1 units.
Potato really has got to start fully reading the effects of all the events. It has screwed it over several times. I can understand just going on auto pilot but it is SUPER important to not accidently mess your economy up by an ill-considered choice.
You can get Lost Wizards by Devolving them, getting them to rout and then controlling them with Final Ultimatum. Not very practical tho. I would've gone Tome of Amplification for Amplified arrows with all your Slithers. For Dragon Lords I think Quickened Breath & Distant Evocation are a must, especially once you hit lvl 12 with improved breath.
If you have Runesmith society, your Slithers can be turned into unfair monsters. Amplified Arrows, Artisan Arms +30% Crit, Runic arrows + 1 range, Empower Beast +20% Damage (another +30% when they rage), Wildspeaker buff +20% Damage + Killing Momentum and, lastly, Pack Leader +10% Crit + Flanker. Did you know that Slithers can get into flank position easily because of their slippery trait? Did you know that they always hit for full damage because they are only 1 model?
21:36 Golem Assistant is better than it looks. Automatic, not an action. Disposable unit, no timer. Automatically gains Unit Enchantments without the per turn maintenance.
You might want to try sprinkling in other animal units. Spiders from the sanctuary could be great and there is also the nature tree ability giving you a chance of getting other animals that can round out your composition
I do agree that Dragons don't actually seem that strong. You're sacrificing a lot of early game potential to build up one especially strong unit, with the lack of item slots limiting that potential for most of the game. The hoard mechanic discourages using items even on your heroes, at least until you get to the point of mass-hunting enemy heroes for the gear they get from AI cheats. I mean sure you can cheese it and unequip items every turn, but that's just tedious.
Potatoe's decision making was pretty poor this game though, so it's not an entirely fair comparison.
I think trying to play a more relaxed game while still playing on brutal + new dragon war thing don't mix very well
I feel like animal builds are crazy strong with the wildlife sanctuary. The tome of evolution just makes the levelling loss-less. By far my easiest game and biggest snowball so far has been an Order/Nature Wildlife sanctuary rush build and the animals with tome of beasts and artisan armaments get crazy crit rates later on. you get to 60%+ crit super early on which makes some of the wolves, boar and spiders feel absolutely nuts...
with evolving units, Experienced Leader becomes S+++++++ tier
Which apparently is why it got moved to a 2 perk prerequisite with the patch.
He couldn't afford a wyvernling when he had 800 mana, and then the mana continued to pile up to 1800.
RIP city stability
I like this game and I think it has so much potential. However, all of the victory conditions outside of domination feel super super boring to me and if you just rely on auto resolve with domination, it’s not fun either.
Love this game not loving my transition from normal to brutal. Hahaha now I know why. If not min maxing eco and some bad luck brutal is rough.
Ist feels weak because The Player overall got nerfed (imperium, affinity trickle etc)
only hero items that are NOT equipped will account towards your passive income
Slithers do scale well, haha.
All of that pussyfooting trying to avoid the war angering your allies just to start a war with everyone at once.
One of the T2 Shadow tomes was a decent pick for this sort of beast build, as it gave you the ability to generate more chaff from the zombie summons and also let you get the cost reductions on summoned units from the shadow tree.
Dammit cliffhangers
You can use the tome of evolution with a crazy spider build
Whisky - "Oh man the dragons get some awesome level ups". Proceeds to choose all the generic buffing perks he chooses on every other hero.
If it works, it works.
Doesn't the nature breath also say that it doesn't hurt your own units?
iirc, in the dev stream they confirmed it as such, yeah. But it doesn't state that in the tooltip. At least not in this version Potato's playing.
Poor puppy
End of the video. This is a CRISIS!!
Absolutely!!
Tbh summons should be unsummoned when the caster died. It is odd that they persisted.
That title looks like a shovelware mobile game with a screaming guy looking to the right.
I want to spin my screen with you in the intro
Where wingull?
I wonder is golem assistant nerfed too? It's so strong as is.
No. It hasn't changed
Gold tanked because you are spamming heroes and giving them items instead of filling your Dragon Hoard. The Nature Transformation upgrade also increases your dragon's upkeep significantly.
ALMOST FIRST😤
