@@atenubi Archaic in the sense of underdeveloped, especially compared to stuff like sorcery or other mechanics, not in terms of the lore setting. There's a lot more that could be done with the system inkeeping with the way religion is crafted in the lore
A nice addition for an "Age of Civilization" update would be factions... some way to side with the different factions to stop them from attacking you (or make the Sep citizens attack you if you mess with them too much). Some faction gear from vendors in each settlement would be nice too. Not only for the New Asgard bunch, but the Summoning Place, Mounds of the Dead and Pirate camps (maybe even expand on the Lemurian camp up at Pagoda, the guys at Xalthar's Refuge up at the Volcano?). Nothing that would stop you slaughtering them if you don't want to buddy up with them, but some nice areas to hang about at if you want to grind that reputation.
I'd love a new map, but I don't see it happening unless they've secretly been working on one behind the scenes. I think a north-eastern TEL expansion is far more likely, I just don't think we'd see a new map this soon after the fairly disappointing launch and EA period of Siptah. New dungeons are pretty realistic though I think
@@Eradicati0nn Unfortunately Siptah wasn't a success in terms of player numbers but i do think its a fun map. A lot of decisions were made that i think people didn't like but i think overall a new map would do well if executed properly. I would hope Funcom looks at Siptah as a learning experience rather than actually thinking that a new map would be a bad idea. I think maps keep the game fresh but they need to have decent execution. Personally i love Siptah (EL is better but still great) and I would love to see more maps added!
@@draxx85 Yeah Siptah's player number failure was definitely in no small part due to fragmenting the player base by it being a paid DLC, plus the massive content drought during development. I think the map is decent with a really nice feeling that is distinct from TEL, and I'd hope they could do even better in the future. That being said, it's a big dev project to produce a new map. I'd kinda rather them officially adopt Savage Wilds. Great chance to celebrate the amazing work done on that map, have a whole new environment to play in, and makes it so much easier to enjoy that map on PC and especially consoles
@@Eradicati0nn Been hoping for a NE expansion, something with more Aquilonian/Argossian and Pictish (an area more like the redwoods of Siptah with plains and hillls, and give that feeling of Gaul and Britannia). Mostly because watching too many history shows has made me want to build Roman baths everywhere >.>;. I know the north has a little of that wilds, but those large, deep forests running into hills and valleys of grass and streams is kinda what I'm thinking, no aquaducts cutting through either. Or something more akin to Zhangjiajie, as the NE coastline around the Bay has that feel a bit. Or a combination thereof blending into each other.
Age of Piracy. Could be a good way to introduce boats and being able to travel to and from EL and Siptah or a new map. Or, Age of the Black Ring, as Thoth Amon returns to the Exiled Lands to recover a powerful object and we must assist Conan in stopping him. I’d love to see Conan take more of a role in the game as a quest hub or even Companion NPC. Whatever it is, I want to see animal pets be more than just decorations- buff them up!
Age of Piracy is a possibility, and tbh seemed quite realistic when they added the Buccaneer set. That being said, I think the devs said before they wouldn't want to do piracy without sailing, and they need a new map for sailing as TEL/Siptah just isn't built for it, and the feature would be kinda dead in the water
The Age of Snow and Steel! Hyborians and frost giants invade from the north... set up their encampment up in the northern wastes and have sending scouts into the south. What are they seeking? The room in the Temple of Frost Giants that looks like portals could be finally put to use. Have Ymir figure prominently in the story.
I can see it now. The minions of Mek Kamoses obtain a blasphemous tome of power, created by The Insects from Shaggai and use its' contents to upgrade and rewrite the faulty properties of the Exiled Lands/Isle of Siptah reality.
If there is an Age of God's I'd love to see something like the ability to summon divine beings that are equivalent to a 1 skull miniboss. Basically these would be each god's equivalent to an angel. They would use whatever primary resource is needed to craft manifestations of zeal for that god. Once summoned the being would last for a minute perhaps then despawn with a long cool down before players could summon them again.
For the religion system 1. You have a book of prayers and can call in powers for example scorpion king movie an Oasis is spawned near player, bringing thrall back to life, 2. Base defense just like in the Current Jheball sag event a creature of the god you choose will help defend your base if you have built an altar. This for me is minimum feature for age of god. The altar could also spawn objectives for you to do for rewards.
No one is talking about changing the whole map? To excite new players and bring on new players rather than play in the same map since 2017-2019 upgraded
It's going to be "The Age of Guile" and is going to focus on more Stealth/Thievery aspects of the Lore. Expect to see quite a bit of thief influenced sets, clothing, etc.
I wouldn't be opposed to the idea tbh. I'm not sure if there would be enough to fill a full four chapter age, but there are some interesting thievery-based cultures that are otherwise fairly unrepresented
Might be good as part of any of the ideas in the video. Underhanded dealings in the rebuild after Age of War makes sense, as after great wars people vie for top position to influence a kingdom or empire and set their vision in motion, thus Age of Civilizations is a perfect time to do it. Could also work for Age of Gods or Arcane due to your mystery cults and other esoteric groups.
What about the Age of Sailing, where we could finally have boats and ships and a new map. Or the Age of Cavalry, where we can get mounted thralls and chariots, riding elephants. Those ideas would keep people in the game for another five years IMO
One idea I've seen some people suggest that I like is an "Age of Beasts." A rework and rebalance of pets including some new animations and attacks, pet armor, and giving some pets some utility, like rocknoses being used to harvest stone/minerals (kind of like how some dinosaurs are used for harvesting in Ark). It could also be interesting to give the player the ability to turn into one of those werehyenas, some expansion on the Dogs of the Desert and Jhebbal Sag through some new NPCs with dialogue, new minibosses and named NPC camp leaders. Unfortunately, I think the Sacred Hunt being released now probably means it isn't happening as surely they would have saved it for the Age of Beasts instead if they were doing that.
My dream update would be an "Age of Sail" where you can build a base on a ship or boat in the oceans surrounding Siptah and have to deal with sea monster attacks and pirates.
Personally I'm hoping for what I'd call an "Age of Conquest" or something, developing the Clan system and PVP Mechanics, maybe adding a way for players to capture eachother's forts and bases. The way I see this working is by introducing Landclaim Clan Banners, if they are destroyed, then after a certain time, perhaps base decay can set in, or, if the banner of a different Clan is placed, it'll change the ownership of the build pieces so that players from the opposing Clan can use the base they've just taken. I think it's a massive waste to fight over a cool and well designed base, only to by unable to use it if you win, you can either destroy it or loot it, which also removes the opportunity for someone to fight to reclaim their base from the person who took it. I'd also like to see diplomacy options for Clans, they dont have to be that deep, just simple statuses like "are thralls friendly (unless attacked)", "can they use doors", that kind of thing, making it easier to have different clans work together, but also have options that go in the opposite direction like maybe a War mechanic and even a kind of Raid Warning system for when a Clan your "at war" with, enters your territory, or even starts attacking you, with maybe a map marker indicating which of your bases may be under attack. I also think it would be cool to let thralls ride horses and use them in combat, that way we could have archer thralls on horseback and could have thralls with lances. And even if they couldnt fight on horseback, it would be nice for travel to be able to ride on horseback and help your thralls keep up with a horse of their own. After this, I'd love an "Age of the Sea" or something. Basically just add boats and ships for us to Sail around that are usable on both the Exiled lands and Isle of Siptah, I dont imagine all the boats have to be usable on exiled lands but some would be nice for sailing down the noob river to get to the ancient Lemurian city easier and make for easier travel between bases near the noob river, not to mention trade and transport between clans and bases. It would also open up potential for aquatic enemies that actually attack you in the water, this would add more potential to Siptah as it could have large aquatic bosses to worry about like in Valheim or Sea of Thieves.
This tbh is exactly what i was thinking too and what we really need, i would even add more things to the already existing system to complete the clan part. They should add some recruitable merchants, just like the tavern system and to make it even more usefull, theses shops and taverns should generate revenues in your treasury so you could buy materials and slaves from other towns. A caravan system following specific trade roads and ambushes on them, you could defend them yourself or hire guards to avoid loosing the caravans. Thralls on horses would be awesome indeed, but what i'd like even more is giving them the ability to operate siege weapons.
I. WANT. HOOKAHS! On a less serious note, id like to see more khitan or shemite influence in the game. As for the idea of God's descending, an event featuring two gods clashing would be awesome. Say followers of Mitra clashing with those of set and both sides would have a representative you can talk to to pledge alliegence and start quests/activities for your side. Another idea would be an exploration age or some other lore friendly excuse to actually develope the north eastern quadrant of the map thats not used. Perhaps include another race in that area with different color arm bands like they did for the nordheimers when they were introduced
Creating your own opium den as a variant of the tavern would actually be really interesting. tbh a god vs god event would be pretty good, Runescape did a similar thing many years ago where you could pledge allegiance to either side, and the winner depended on player contribution. It might be a little too on the nose for Conan, but it could be quite interesting
Thanks for the video. What will come next, I don't know, but I know what I would like. Definitely Age of Gods + additional magic development related to it.
The first and last ones of those really feel like they could be combined into one like "Age of The Old Gods" or something, that buffs up the religion stuff and maybe adds some kind of mechanic where Nyarlathotep will attack you based on how much you do religion or something. Kind of a combination of the purge, and the storm events from Siptah.
I wonder if Age of the Amazon was ever gonna be anything. Because remember they had it on a monitor in the background of a video one time and that's what we all thought the next age was gonna be after Sorcery
With the tavern system now in place, it gave me hope that there could be an economy and trade implemented in the game. So an Age of Civilization chapter would be fantastic to breathe life in the city as well as your base.
I like the age of civilization idea, it would be great, especially if they could advance the games money system and merchants in the game. I think it would be good if they expanded the map allowing for a larger area to play, maybe some ‘boundery pillars’ collapse to open the area, maybe welcoming the ‘red’ jeweled band people into the world, maybe even threatening your civilization
The different “Ages” is the primary reason I came back and stayed. Otherwise, Conan Exiles just isn’t replayable after defeating everything. “The Age of Civilization” sounds like a reasonable next age. I know they said there was supposed to be quests in the barkeep menu to complete and more traders. It would also be nice to be able to create dedicated shops for the crafters where they act like the barkeeper by selling their goods and having NPCs going in and out of the shop; like having a busy city. Most importantly, I’d like to have some place to spend the gold that I raided from the Castle. There is no incentive to keep raiding the Castle since there is nothing new to gain. Being able to buy bulk resources or consumable items would be nice. Sometimes, I don’t feel like grinding for brimstone or having to wait for the cook to prepare 50 stacked feasts for 11 fighters (using Better Thrall mode) to attack the Stygian Castle or to clear a dungeon.
I wouldn't be surprised if they go down the commerce route with an Age of Civilization or something similar. It's the most obvious next step down from running your own tavern, and would open up a lot of roleplay stuff for the guys on console who don't have access to mods
Me too, though I'd also take just actual farming mechanics. Sure it's not the most gripping content ever, but I think it'd suit the game, especially in an Age of Civilization setting
The introduction of Sacred Hunt is quite abrupt in AoW Chapter 4. It almost does NOT fit in the theme of AoW at all, but instead seems to herald the upcoming age. My guesses are: 1) Age of Gods - Jebbal Sag is awakened, so will the other gods who are also seeking dominance of this exiled land, let their battle begin 2) Age of Savages - Jebbal Sag is awakened, civilizations stand no chance against this savagery, only the most brutal and primal will survive. 3) Age of Arcane - Jebbal Sag is awakened, civilizations stand no chance against this savagery. Desperate, mankind resort to dark arcane and Set for help, which leads to even greater catastrophes.
I'm not entirely sold on Age of Civilization, because the very nature of Exiled Lands or Isle of Siptah doesn't fit the civilization motive or even is diametrically opposed to it. I'm leaning towards something supernatural: either Gods or Sorcery/Arcane. You mentioned it might be too soon, but Age of Sorcery ended in June 2023 and the Age continuing the AoS storyline would premiere somewhere around June 2024. It's a full year between these two storylines, so people wouldn't be so tired of "more of the same".
Age of Gods sounds awesome, but I’d also like to see an Age of Treachery/Thieves/etc. camouflaged building pieces to blend into the environment some, abilities and gear based around stealth, an item or two that lets you pick locks (be nice for the big npc raidable bases). There’s a lot that could be done and explored before circling back around to magic as the centerpiece.
I love Conan's lore. There's so much potential in Exiles game to be released, age of civilization and arcane should be the best options imho, interacting with people in New Asgarth and Cimmerian village should be interesting to add some role-playing to the game.. we'll see.
I think it's all but certain that Dennis was just trolling 😂 I highly doubt Age of Amazon would ever be a thing, though I'm not staunchly against the idea, I just think there's more interesting things (on the surface) to tackle
For some reason I have "Age of Madnesss" in my head having picked that up from an old a livestream or something. If that were to exist I suppose would be more Lovecraftian and like the third concept "Age of Arcane" in the video.
Yeah Siptah is in a bit of a weird spot. On one hand it's a DLC map that's intended to have its own fairly separate story, but on the other hand Conan is a live service, kind of a double edged sword in that aspect, with many of the recent lore-based additions just not quite fitting on Siptah.
I oddly had a talk similar to that with friends on discord. I said the new age is soon comming, and they asked what Funcom could do. I said, well... either a new map, wich is unlikely... so most likely... a Religion revamp, making religions matter. First chapter could be a general revamp of religions, like Artefact rework, armour rework. 2nd chapter could be Followers (similar to the Tavern keep) but with Unique Thralls you can recruit that follow a religion with their owns strenght and weakness, maybe even a buff you as a player can get showing devotion to a god. Like Mitra gives you greater healing effects, Set buffs your sorcery, Yog greater HP or Strenght Damage, Jhebaal Sag greated agility damage, Derketo greater Stamina regen or Stamina buff and Zath, greater poison and sickness resitances. 3rd chapter, an Avatar buff, or Minion summoning. Like Ymir can summon frost giants, Zath giant spiders, Mitra specialized Golems, Set giant snakes or serpentmen... something like tha with access to a dungeon. 4th chapter... I don't know TBH but an ingame event of... religious zealots hunting you down with a badass Cultist based armou... or a completly new religion. Maybe the Hyrkanian God Erlik... or the Mayapan God Xotli, Or the God of Knowledge IBIS, Wikana... Maybe the amazonian Goddess of war fertility and female genitalia. Something.
A little late getting to this as the mods my friend and I run knocked us out of our servers once the Sacred Hunt went live. Anyways, played a solo Isle of Man w/ no mods to keep me entertained and had the visit at my tavern by the mysterious man. Later my friend finally wanting to play 3 days ago, gave permission for me to remove the IMMERSE RP: Building and Placeables mod and upon reboot of my Siptah server I was able to see my server and get in. I made it to the shire for Jhebbal Sag by Siptah's tower and talked to the head "priestess". From both conversations, I would say that the next "Age" is "Civilization" because of the conversations w/ the "Yellow eyed" bar visitor. No reason that Jhebbal Sag could not hunt in a city. Anyways, go talked to both the priestess and the Xi in your bar and it might be hinted at even to you about Age of Civilization. Saw your video 1st and then experienced these conversations so thought I would reply. Keep up the videos I enjoy your designs and the information.
My guest was wrong. I thought they would make a naval update focused more on siptah. Age of gods would be awsome, bringing some lesser deities from Conan s lore. Ishtar, Bel, Toth
Following the History of Conan and BELIT, The Queen of the Black State. If I'm not mistaken, there was another story where he started a naval exhibition with the Zingaro people. Concerning where he would sail in the lands of exile. You can increase the map from i8 to P17 or perhaps to a Q, R, S, 17 which is interesting and that mod creators can put things there on the map without interfering with the DGs but Funcom doesn't. If Funcom tries hard, it can do it and just stop making excuses and doing it. Besides, Funcom has several competitors this year, one of them could dethrone Conan or become a mountain in its path instead of a stone.
The age of civilization is the most likely of the three, but my personal guess is "Age of Shadows". As I see it, Conan Exiles is slowly expanding the playstyles around the usual RPG classes: Age of Sorcery brought mages and wizards into the game, Age of War expanded the way warriors and barbarians can fight and plunder, so next up would be rogues and thieves logically. Considering Conan himself was also a thief and a pirate, it's certainly appropriate to the setting. I think it would involve implementing a stealth mechanic, which already has some level of functionality since mobs aggro on sight and can be snuck up on by staying out of their line of sight. I think it would begin with accounting for light levels, the time of day and so on. Executions show we can also implement things like backstabs or throat-cutting as a way to start a fight, and maybe certain armor pieces make it easier to hide from enemies. Other features could be ways to create guard patrols with thralls, ways to counter magic invisibility (and the thieves in purges added in chapter 4 by extension) and perhaps an expansion into the PVE structure system introduced with Age of War; perhaps on occasion some encampments get upgraded to small fortress builds in the same way that some enemies randomly spawn as elites, and these can be destroyed or neutralized by players where after they just decay and respawn as regular enemy camps. It would give way more options and support to players who prefer to sneak around and infiltrate other player's structures. The one tricky thing is to how meaningfully implement stealth between players in a way that isn't game-breaking, because many of us remember how much it sucked to get ganked to death by Rogues in World of Warcraft.
Im personally betting on Age of Piracy given the zingarian content and the active war between them and stygia over the trade lanes in siptah. We got a big content dump for Stygians. Follow it with taverns and bars? The natural haunt of any pirate. Plus we already got a map SURROUNDED BY WATER. Could see them expanding out that waterfront a bit and adding some more black hand, and corsair. Oh wait, they've just been dropping it in the bazaar, and recently too. It could be just me hyperfocusing on the small hints but I really wouldn't be surprised especially with that massive highlight on the boats mod. Real good way to gauge interest a year or so in advance to see if its worth hard coding In as a new major feature.
Other than the bugs, I actually liked the content in this age. Bugs were really terrible though... I only play PVP so not sure how it is for non pvp players
Just build a ton of dragon bone arrows. each stack of 100 is worth 1K xp on the battlepass and you can do about 7K per day. admin the mats in on you personal instance and afk it.
@@kalfoxx7749 That doesn't work for everyone due to all the bugs with this chapter that cause plenty of people to not gain battle pass xp. I've suffered this myself and have only gained the xp from the challenges and nothing else. For a new system meant to make finishing a battle pass faster it has failed some of us miserably making it take twice as long as before.
I think the "Age of Civilization" make sense after this chapter. for everyone to regain and rebuild it up. Thereafter the "Age of Gods" make sense as people always want something to worship. The beginning of new sorcery. Then the "Age of Arcane", this would give enough time for a new sorcery system and spells to come into play because of the previous Age and Mek can be revived.
Some very interesting theories, with the introduction of gollums & the taverns, id guess that "working thralls" is in the pipeline, but I don't want to get my hopes up too much! Fatalities is something I definitely think needs asdressed though, the mechanic is "half done" , stop killing, wait, click attack, occasionally will perform mechanic! Love the game, but fixing stability & basic mechanics should be priority in my opinion! Great video though
How about an age of piracy that introduces sea voyages....you can craft a ship and load it with supplies. They will let you engage in new islands and sea battle quests and also would bring back server transfers letting you sail on a "voyage" to Siptah , bringing a limited stock of supplies and limited cargo hold space to bring items back and forth. It would be at a risk of course because if you die and your ship sinks you lose everything on the ship. Then the could have a Rise of Atlantis chapter where Atlantis rises again along with maybe some ancient ones and maybe a new t4 npc in Atlantis: Kull tge Conquerer
I would really like to see an age of stability. The devs really need to take a breather and stabilize their game. This could be done under the cover of an age of thralls, (or similar) where they can expand the thrall mechanics getting them to do resource collection perform some of the functions you have defined in the age of civilization proposal, but they could spend the majority of their time working on unbundling some of the spaghetti code, getting game performance up so that falling through the floor is fixed, improve the AI on both thralls and NPC's populate the bazar with Thrall outfits and emotes etc. The list is endless really. Upshot is that the more complexity they continue to pile onto the mess of code already in there is going to result in a catastrophic failure at some point, something that none of the fans would want to see I am sure.
I'm fairly used to it now, but I think there probably is a more elegant way to handle sorcery, even with it being tied to the lore of the words of power
@@Eradicati0nn I think some improvements to how the UI displays unlocked spells would be good. Be nice to have a more informational view of unlocked spells and what they do rather than that list in the knowledge panel.
Age of Water. There are several forms of water in the game and all of them feel bland as stale bread. The "noob" river feels too safe and the ocean to the east is so empty. I would like to see an actual fishing mechanic added as well as dangerous water animals that can agro players when in the water. Having semi buildable water transportation added would be fun as well. Canoes, flat boats, rafts that can be used to get around would add a new level of gameplay to both PvPers and PvEers. I'm not talking Ark/Atlas style boat building but close to. Heck, they could even play into the pirates that are scattered around the map to make new quests and maybe even tie Siptah and Exiled Lands into it. I just want to be a wizard seafarer is all gosh dang it!
How about Age of the Picts? The Picts are here to stamp out the abomination of civilization! In Chapter 1 a Pictish warband attacks your settlement after you "proclaim your civilization" at the Tavern (using the mechanics for the purge). Warbands are smaller than a purge, giving folks a less intrusive, shorter duration buy-in. A semi-permanent Tavern NPC (like Xil) trades you Pict-themed rewards in exchange for Pict Ears taken from the defeated warriors. Funcom can dream up the rest...you're welcome, guys. :)
If you are playing on an Xbox One, like I am, then that is rapidly becoming true. Al-Meriyah loading in is a big draw on system resources; which, frankly, I wish I could disable entirely so that area of the map is no longer a "death by lag/crash" risk for me and my thralls.
I always thought it was weird that if you picked a religion, say, Yimr ... but the followers of Yimr still attack you. There should be a religious progression where some npcs aren't initially hostile because you share religion.
Age of Booty. A new slider in character creation to adjust posterior size… and maybe some boat action with the rivers and stuff, idk, maybe thievery. But some god action would be really really cool… more fleshed out religious system and functionality.
Of these realistic options I hope it's Age of the Gods, myself, but I could see a religion expansion also being part of an Age of Civilization. More Setite stuff would be sick. What I'd really love though is for an Exiled Lands map expansion, in multiple directions. Mek could tear down a part of the cursewall, or something. Further into the desert for more desert space and further northeast would be cool and open room for more dungeons. I'd love more dungeons. Even if it just has to be something like Savage Wilds' dungeon NPC that you speak with and just get plopped "Somewhere Else." e.g. the dungeons don't have physical entrances. Obviously this is a much lesser option, but it's good enough just to give more things to explore. I think it's a massive bummer the Age of War didn't do enough good stuff with combat because there's not going to be another good opportunity. Enemies are still so slidey and stupid. Strafing around crocodiles and hyenas that rotate in place until you enter their facing cone and they start up an attack is just... very un-modern. But I think the only fix to that would be a whole new game and that's just not likely any time soon. It's been brutal going from Dragon's Dogma 2's combat back to Conan. I can't stop thinking about how much I want to pick people up and throw them into each other.
age of nature that is focused on planting and fields where thralls can plant some fruits or plants and harvest them and fields that are way more usefull then the planting pods that we have right now. also animals that can reproduce and more recipes.
There are thralls of the Amazonian tribe in the admin files since chapter 4- a full set of fighters and crafters. Last Age they previewed age of Amazon before showing Age of War, maybe there was some truth to it. After all, its hard enough to get content they are working on, let alone see work for things that arent going to happen.
I think on an "Age of Trade and Craft", despite not being a theme big enough for a full age I think revamping crafter thralls and adding an economy system to spend the gold and treasure collected would be a nice addition to the game loop.
My guess is that it'll be something we've never thought of, but my hope is that it's something related to religion. I really would love to have a revamp of that whole system.
Age of Gods would be great! They already have nods to Sobek and Hanuman in the game that they could build upon. Plus, the human sacrifice mechanic is already present to be expanded upon. For Mitra, perhaps sacrifices of high-end food or treasure instead? Not wild on an Age of Civilization - I think that strays a bit too far from the survival nature of the game and the theme of being exiled. Age of Arcane would be good if it allowed folks who missed the storyline of Age of Sorcery a chance to catch-up - I came back to CE very late in AoS and missed almost everything.
I would love to see an age of civilization,but how much can they push the UR engine to support more NPC and groups of NPCS running through a settlement lie normal people
What about the fact that a god central to Conan lore is basically nearly absent from the game? What about CROM? Why is Crom completely absent from the game?
Crom is in the game as the "no religion" choice. Given that apparently Conan says in some of the source material that "it's best to avoid drawing Crom's attention, as he hands out only dooms and trouble", I think he fits that role well. That being said, it doesn't necessarily mean he has to be entirely absent. Some effigies or symbols of Crom would at least be a nice thing to have
@@tomcmburns i don't think you understand how Crom works. Basically it's "i gave you strength at birth, use it to survive and don't bother asking for help, i'm busy eating fried chicken on my mountain and if you bother me with your weakling prayers i'm gonna beat the shit out of you. Survive and i'll welcome you in my realm where you will be an eternal sad fuck and if you die, i'll laugh because it's funny but you better die in battle or i'll beat the shit out of you even harder." You don't pray Crom, you don't ask anything to Crom because the only one who'll be doomed is you. Cimmerians refuse to pray him and even try to avoid anything related to him or his pantheon because they know what the cost is. Gameplay wise, the most accurate way to implement his religion would be, you build a temple for crom, you enslave a priest of crom to be in his temple (a big problem here because priests of Crom just...well...don't exist) and the result is your base gets vaporized because you did all that =D. A great gameplay that would be uh?
Age of Gods would be great, i'd love to see religion be more quest/lore oriented and hopefully they will keep it unrestricted( can learn all religions at once ). i really hope they don't force us to choose 1 religion per playthrough. learning a religion could require to complete a quest, and leveling up in that religion would require more quests.
Religion in Conan right now is more of a "choose your starting crutch", Set's good for archer builds, Yog for general survival so you don't have to hunt for food and such. As far as "The Age of Civilization" goes I like that idea because imagine becoming a shield smith and you can learn how to forge unique powerful shields instead of being reliant upon named thralls. Legendary ones would still beat them out but you could be the best shieldsmith in the Exiled Lands and give more reason to team up with others instead of solo running. One thing that NEEDS to be changed though is the loss of control of structures built while in a clan, IE "This was yours, now it's ours". On a side note I can't help but mitch about a bazaar item, the Poitain Jousting set, it feels out of place but it also could be a precursor to civilization if so then my main complaint is the price. 1 armor, 1 shield, 1 lance, 1 barding some hanging decorations and two wooden runners for what's roughly $16USD?
Age of rebirth Farming needs a revamp because it's lame as fuck in current state. Maybe animal breeding, rabbits, goats.. It would be nice to get something pleasant, engaging. Something more complex than a few sad pots.. Put in the seeds and fertilizer that's all go away and comeback tomorrow.
Age of Hanuman A new leader has emerged from the devolved grey apes of the jungle. The Primate Prelate is a self professed Avatar of Hanuman and is searching for lost relics of their ancient kingdom. Introduces the new Hanuman religion. New event Gone Ape! Defend against waves of primates and yeti in a throwback to the old purge. Yet another revamp of the combat system (because every age has to monkey with it apparently) Tons of Lemurian themed objects in the bazaar and battle pass. I would also say that news of the next age will come either in early June for a pre-vacation release or August after vacation ends.
I'd like to see a "Age of Companions" - where the thralls are finally rebalanced into something that's neither too-OP, nor too weak - especially for the time requirement needed to level up doesn't end up in a few slashes of regular boss-level monsters...or a group of Sepemeru NPCs ganking up, because the AI decided to play funny again and screw you up royally. 😕 Maybe use the the "factions" as a template, to build upon with training & time/fund investement - so that you can reach the old "power levels", but it takes much effort, (RL) time and some resource investments? That way, if you want to have "3-hit grunts", you just stick with the basic converted thralls. If you want useful "companions" - or even "retinue" - just spend an extended amount of effort to achieve that, and probably take better care of them. (limited numbers allowed, so as to keep PvP balance in check. Or even - have just separate stat modifiers "vs players", to have PvE and PvP thralls not interfere with each other...)
If they do something like the age of civilisation I hope they'll respect Howard views on civilisation. That it is a inhumane brutal machine that strips men from honesty, honor and respect to only leave a empty shell of envy and cowardice. Maybe the Jhebal Sag story coming back is a hint that they will do something around barbarism or nature.
What do you wanna see for the next age?

Official solo duo trio servers;Adjusted raid times and level up to 100 so farmers arent sitting ducks. :) plz
@@atenubi Archaic in the sense of underdeveloped, especially compared to stuff like sorcery or other mechanics, not in terms of the lore setting. There's a lot more that could be done with the system inkeeping with the way religion is crafted in the lore
A nice addition for an "Age of Civilization" update would be factions... some way to side with the different factions to stop them from attacking you (or make the Sep citizens attack you if you mess with them too much). Some faction gear from vendors in each settlement would be nice too. Not only for the New Asgard bunch, but the Summoning Place, Mounds of the Dead and Pirate camps (maybe even expand on the Lemurian camp up at Pagoda, the guys at Xalthar's Refuge up at the Volcano?). Nothing that would stop you slaughtering them if you don't want to buddy up with them, but some nice areas to hang about at if you want to grind that reputation.
We need a new map or Siptah recipes on exiled lands. New dungeons.
I'd love a new map, but I don't see it happening unless they've secretly been working on one behind the scenes. I think a north-eastern TEL expansion is far more likely, I just don't think we'd see a new map this soon after the fairly disappointing launch and EA period of Siptah. New dungeons are pretty realistic though I think
@@Eradicati0nn Unfortunately Siptah wasn't a success in terms of player numbers but i do think its a fun map. A lot of decisions were made that i think people didn't like but i think overall a new map would do well if executed properly. I would hope Funcom looks at Siptah as a learning experience rather than actually thinking that a new map would be a bad idea. I think maps keep the game fresh but they need to have decent execution. Personally i love Siptah (EL is better but still great) and I would love to see more maps added!
@@draxx85 Yeah Siptah's player number failure was definitely in no small part due to fragmenting the player base by it being a paid DLC, plus the massive content drought during development. I think the map is decent with a really nice feeling that is distinct from TEL, and I'd hope they could do even better in the future.
That being said, it's a big dev project to produce a new map. I'd kinda rather them officially adopt Savage Wilds. Great chance to celebrate the amazing work done on that map, have a whole new environment to play in, and makes it so much easier to enjoy that map on PC and especially consoles
@@Eradicati0nn Been hoping for a NE expansion, something with more Aquilonian/Argossian and Pictish (an area more like the redwoods of Siptah with plains and hillls, and give that feeling of Gaul and Britannia). Mostly because watching too many history shows has made me want to build Roman baths everywhere >.>;. I know the north has a little of that wilds, but those large, deep forests running into hills and valleys of grass and streams is kinda what I'm thinking, no aquaducts cutting through either. Or something more akin to Zhangjiajie, as the NE coastline around the Bay has that feel a bit. Or a combination thereof blending into each other.
No, that is a total shit idea.
Age of Piracy. Could be a good way to introduce boats and being able to travel to and from EL and Siptah or a new map.
Or, Age of the Black Ring, as Thoth Amon returns to the Exiled Lands to recover a powerful object and we must assist Conan in stopping him. I’d love to see Conan take more of a role in the game as a quest hub or even Companion NPC. Whatever it is, I want to see animal pets be more than just decorations- buff them up!
Age of Piracy is a possibility, and tbh seemed quite realistic when they added the Buccaneer set. That being said, I think the devs said before they wouldn't want to do piracy without sailing, and they need a new map for sailing as TEL/Siptah just isn't built for it, and the feature would be kinda dead in the water
The Age of Snow and Steel! Hyborians and frost giants invade from the north... set up their encampment up in the northern wastes and have sending scouts into the south. What are they seeking? The room in the Temple of Frost Giants that looks like portals could be finally put to use. Have Ymir figure prominently in the story.
i'm all for picking up from the age of sorcery. this also gives them a chance to expand on sorcery system.
I'm up for it as long as it's a little different from the story tones and beats we had before, Age of Sorcery was probably my favourite age thus far
Age of Bug Fixes?
I can see it now. The minions of Mek Kamoses obtain a blasphemous tome of power, created by The Insects from Shaggai and use its' contents to upgrade and rewrite the faulty properties of the Exiled Lands/Isle of Siptah reality.
🤣 I would love to see that too
If there is an Age of God's I'd love to see something like the ability to summon divine beings that are equivalent to a 1 skull miniboss. Basically these would be each god's equivalent to an angel. They would use whatever primary resource is needed to craft manifestations of zeal for that god. Once summoned the being would last for a minute perhaps then despawn with a long cool down before players could summon them again.
For the religion system 1. You have a book of prayers and can call in powers for example scorpion king movie an Oasis is spawned near player, bringing thrall back to life, 2. Base defense just like in the Current Jheball sag event a creature of the god you choose will help defend your base if you have built an altar. This for me is minimum feature for age of god. The altar could also spawn objectives for you to do for rewards.
Age of adventure - focus on new dungeons and quest mechanics.
Age of clans/ tribes - focus on clan system and building your own tribe
No one is talking about changing the whole map? To excite new players and bring on new players rather than play in the same map since 2017-2019 upgraded
It's going to be "The Age of Guile" and is going to focus on more Stealth/Thievery aspects of the Lore. Expect to see quite a bit of thief influenced sets, clothing, etc.
I wouldn't be opposed to the idea tbh. I'm not sure if there would be enough to fill a full four chapter age, but there are some interesting thievery-based cultures that are otherwise fairly unrepresented
Might be good as part of any of the ideas in the video. Underhanded dealings in the rebuild after Age of War makes sense, as after great wars people vie for top position to influence a kingdom or empire and set their vision in motion, thus Age of Civilizations is a perfect time to do it. Could also work for Age of Gods or Arcane due to your mystery cults and other esoteric groups.
What about the Age of Sailing, where we could finally have boats and ships and a new map. Or the Age of Cavalry, where we can get mounted thralls and chariots, riding elephants. Those ideas would keep people in the game for another five years IMO
One idea I've seen some people suggest that I like is an "Age of Beasts." A rework and rebalance of pets including some new animations and attacks, pet armor, and giving some pets some utility, like rocknoses being used to harvest stone/minerals (kind of like how some dinosaurs are used for harvesting in Ark). It could also be interesting to give the player the ability to turn into one of those werehyenas, some expansion on the Dogs of the Desert and Jhebbal Sag through some new NPCs with dialogue, new minibosses and named NPC camp leaders.
Unfortunately, I think the Sacred Hunt being released now probably means it isn't happening as surely they would have saved it for the Age of Beasts instead if they were doing that.
My dream update would be an "Age of Sail" where you can build a base on a ship or boat in the oceans surrounding Siptah and have to deal with sea monster attacks and pirates.
I would be so excited for an Age of new map (Perhaps Age of Exploration or Age of Expeditions)
At this point I would prefer bug fixes and a massive reduction of crafting benches. Basically quality of life.
Sorry Age of Greed will always overshadow the Age of Fixing Bugs.
@@SicariiDTenebrishaha. Sad but true.
people have been begging for fixes instead of "content updates" for like 6 years. its not happening buddy
Personally I'm hoping for what I'd call an "Age of Conquest" or something, developing the Clan system and PVP Mechanics, maybe adding a way for players to capture eachother's forts and bases.
The way I see this working is by introducing Landclaim Clan Banners, if they are destroyed, then after a certain time, perhaps base decay can set in, or, if the banner of a different Clan is placed, it'll change the ownership of the build pieces so that players from the opposing Clan can use the base they've just taken.
I think it's a massive waste to fight over a cool and well designed base, only to by unable to use it if you win, you can either destroy it or loot it, which also removes the opportunity for someone to fight to reclaim their base from the person who took it.
I'd also like to see diplomacy options for Clans, they dont have to be that deep, just simple statuses like "are thralls friendly (unless attacked)", "can they use doors", that kind of thing, making it easier to have different clans work together, but also have options that go in the opposite direction like maybe a War mechanic and even a kind of Raid Warning system for when a Clan your "at war" with, enters your territory, or even starts attacking you, with maybe a map marker indicating which of your bases may be under attack.
I also think it would be cool to let thralls ride horses and use them in combat, that way we could have archer thralls on horseback and could have thralls with lances.
And even if they couldnt fight on horseback, it would be nice for travel to be able to ride on horseback and help your thralls keep up with a horse of their own.
After this, I'd love an "Age of the Sea" or something.
Basically just add boats and ships for us to Sail around that are usable on both the Exiled lands and Isle of Siptah, I dont imagine all the boats have to be usable on exiled lands but some would be nice for sailing down the noob river to get to the ancient Lemurian city easier and make for easier travel between bases near the noob river, not to mention trade and transport between clans and bases.
It would also open up potential for aquatic enemies that actually attack you in the water, this would add more potential to Siptah as it could have large aquatic bosses to worry about like in Valheim or Sea of Thieves.
This tbh is exactly what i was thinking too and what we really need, i would even add more things to the already existing system to complete the clan part. They should add some recruitable merchants, just like the tavern system and to make it even more usefull, theses shops and taverns should generate revenues in your treasury so you could buy materials and slaves from other towns. A caravan system following specific trade roads and ambushes on them, you could defend them yourself or hire guards to avoid loosing the caravans. Thralls on horses would be awesome indeed, but what i'd like even more is giving them the ability to operate siege weapons.
I. WANT. HOOKAHS!
On a less serious note, id like to see more khitan or shemite influence in the game.
As for the idea of God's descending, an event featuring two gods clashing would be awesome. Say followers of Mitra clashing with those of set and both sides would have a representative you can talk to to pledge alliegence and start quests/activities for your side.
Another idea would be an exploration age or some other lore friendly excuse to actually develope the north eastern quadrant of the map thats not used. Perhaps include another race in that area with different color arm bands like they did for the nordheimers when they were introduced
Creating your own opium den as a variant of the tavern would actually be really interesting.
tbh a god vs god event would be pretty good, Runescape did a similar thing many years ago where you could pledge allegiance to either side, and the winner depended on player contribution. It might be a little too on the nose for Conan, but it could be quite interesting
@@Eradicati0nn lol i didn't want to be too obvious, but the zammy/sara and bandos/arma events were what I was alluding to xD
@@brawlgasm56 I'm glad we were thinking the same thing then 😂 Zammy should have won though
Thanks for the video.
What will come next, I don't know, but I know what I would like. Definitely Age of Gods + additional magic development related to it.
They game certainly needs more god as option to worship. I really miss Erlik, Bori, Ishtar, Xotli, Ormuzd, Ahriman and all the others.
The first and last ones of those really feel like they could be combined into one like "Age of The Old Gods" or something, that buffs up the religion stuff and maybe adds some kind of mechanic where Nyarlathotep will attack you based on how much you do religion or something. Kind of a combination of the purge, and the storm events from Siptah.
I wonder if Age of the Amazon was ever gonna be anything. Because remember they had it on a monitor in the background of a video one time and that's what we all thought the next age was gonna be after Sorcery
With the tavern system now in place, it gave me hope that there could be an economy and trade implemented in the game. So an Age of Civilization chapter would be fantastic to breathe life in the city as well as your base.
I like this content because I'm really interested in the future of conan exiles there's not enough content creators talking about ages to come
I like the age of civilization idea, it would be great, especially if they could advance the games money system and merchants in the game. I think it would be good if they expanded the map allowing for a larger area to play, maybe some ‘boundery pillars’ collapse to open the area, maybe welcoming the ‘red’ jeweled band people into the world, maybe even threatening your civilization
I hope the vendors come back that sold tools and weapons.
dang, I'd like to see any of those tbh.
even just this video has me excited to play Conan again XD
Did you really miss the "Age of Amazones" that Dennis had on his pc screen when he talked about Age of Sorcery last year? :P
The different “Ages” is the primary reason I came back and stayed. Otherwise, Conan Exiles just isn’t replayable after defeating everything. “The Age of Civilization” sounds like a reasonable next age. I know they said there was supposed to be quests in the barkeep menu to complete and more traders. It would also be nice to be able to create dedicated shops for the crafters where they act like the barkeeper by selling their goods and having NPCs going in and out of the shop; like having a busy city. Most importantly, I’d like to have some place to spend the gold that I raided from the Castle. There is no incentive to keep raiding the Castle since there is nothing new to gain. Being able to buy bulk resources or consumable items would be nice. Sometimes, I don’t feel like grinding for brimstone or having to wait for the cook to prepare 50 stacked feasts for 11 fighters (using Better Thrall mode) to attack the Stygian Castle or to clear a dungeon.
I wouldn't be surprised if they go down the commerce route with an Age of Civilization or something similar. It's the most obvious next step down from running your own tavern, and would open up a lot of roleplay stuff for the guys on console who don't have access to mods
I want some kind of either placeables or building pieces that mimics farming in some way.
Me too, though I'd also take just actual farming mechanics. Sure it's not the most gripping content ever, but I think it'd suit the game, especially in an Age of Civilization setting
The introduction of Sacred Hunt is quite abrupt in AoW Chapter 4.
It almost does NOT fit in the theme of AoW at all, but instead seems to herald the upcoming age. My guesses are:
1) Age of Gods - Jebbal Sag is awakened, so will the other gods who are also seeking dominance of this exiled land, let their battle begin
2) Age of Savages - Jebbal Sag is awakened, civilizations stand no chance against this savagery, only the most brutal and primal will survive.
3) Age of Arcane - Jebbal Sag is awakened, civilizations stand no chance against this savagery. Desperate, mankind resort to dark arcane and Set for help, which leads to even greater catastrophes.
I'm not entirely sold on Age of Civilization, because the very nature of Exiled Lands or Isle of Siptah doesn't fit the civilization motive or even is diametrically opposed to it. I'm leaning towards something supernatural: either Gods or Sorcery/Arcane. You mentioned it might be too soon, but Age of Sorcery ended in June 2023 and the Age continuing the AoS storyline would premiere somewhere around June 2024.
It's a full year between these two storylines, so people wouldn't be so tired of "more of the same".
Age of Gods sounds awesome, but I’d also like to see an Age of Treachery/Thieves/etc. camouflaged building pieces to blend into the environment some, abilities and gear based around stealth, an item or two that lets you pick locks (be nice for the big npc raidable bases).
There’s a lot that could be done and explored before circling back around to magic as the centerpiece.
I love Conan's lore. There's so much potential in Exiles game to be released, age of civilization and arcane should be the best options imho, interacting with people in New Asgarth and Cimmerian village should be interesting to add some role-playing to the game.. we'll see.
What about Age of the Amazon? There was a screen with that title on it behind Denis in one of the dev videos.
I think it's all but certain that Dennis was just trolling 😂 I highly doubt Age of Amazon would ever be a thing, though I'm not staunchly against the idea, I just think there's more interesting things (on the surface) to tackle
For some reason I have "Age of Madnesss" in my head having picked that up from an old a livestream or something. If that were to exist I suppose would be more Lovecraftian and like the third concept "Age of Arcane" in the video.
I wish the devs would give Siptah some more attention
Yeah Siptah is in a bit of a weird spot. On one hand it's a DLC map that's intended to have its own fairly separate story, but on the other hand Conan is a live service, kind of a double edged sword in that aspect, with many of the recent lore-based additions just not quite fitting on Siptah.
I oddly had a talk similar to that with friends on discord. I said the new age is soon comming, and they asked what Funcom could do.
I said, well... either a new map, wich is unlikely... so most likely... a Religion revamp, making religions matter. First chapter could be a general revamp of religions, like Artefact rework, armour rework. 2nd chapter could be Followers (similar to the Tavern keep) but with Unique Thralls you can recruit that follow a religion with their owns strenght and weakness, maybe even a buff you as a player can get showing devotion to a god. Like Mitra gives you greater healing effects, Set buffs your sorcery, Yog greater HP or Strenght Damage, Jhebaal Sag greated agility damage, Derketo greater Stamina regen or Stamina buff and Zath, greater poison and sickness resitances.
3rd chapter, an Avatar buff, or Minion summoning. Like Ymir can summon frost giants, Zath giant spiders, Mitra specialized Golems, Set giant snakes or serpentmen... something like tha with access to a dungeon.
4th chapter... I don't know TBH but an ingame event of... religious zealots hunting you down with a badass Cultist based armou... or a completly new religion. Maybe the Hyrkanian God Erlik... or the Mayapan God Xotli, Or the God of Knowledge IBIS, Wikana... Maybe the amazonian Goddess of war fertility and female genitalia. Something.
A little late getting to this as the mods my friend and I run knocked us out of our servers once the Sacred Hunt went live. Anyways, played a solo Isle of Man w/ no mods to keep me entertained and had the visit at my tavern by the mysterious man. Later my friend finally wanting to play 3 days ago, gave permission for me to remove the IMMERSE RP: Building and Placeables mod and upon reboot of my Siptah server I was able to see my server and get in. I made it to the shire for Jhebbal Sag by Siptah's tower and talked to the head "priestess". From both conversations, I would say that the next "Age" is "Civilization" because of the conversations w/ the "Yellow eyed" bar visitor. No reason that Jhebbal Sag could not hunt in a city. Anyways, go talked to both the priestess and the Xi in your bar and it might be hinted at even to you about Age of Civilization. Saw your video 1st and then experienced these conversations so thought I would reply.
Keep up the videos I enjoy your designs and the information.
All that I remember is them saying if Age of War isnt your thing just wait for the next age. So Ive been waiting.
The Age of the Expanding Man: All background music is replaced by songs from Steely Dan's album Aja.
My guest was wrong. I thought they would make a naval update focused more on siptah. Age of gods would be awsome, bringing some lesser deities from Conan s lore. Ishtar, Bel, Toth
Age of Exploration or Age of Commerce, any other name that implements a navigation system using boats both for sailing and for war.
Where are you sailing to in the exiled lands?
Following the History of Conan and BELIT, The Queen of the Black State. If I'm not mistaken, there was another story where he started a naval exhibition with the Zingaro people. Concerning where he would sail in the lands of exile. You can increase the map from i8 to P17 or perhaps to a Q, R, S, 17 which is interesting and that mod creators can put things there on the map without interfering with the DGs but Funcom doesn't. If Funcom tries hard, it can do it and just stop making excuses and doing it.
Besides, Funcom has several competitors this year, one of them could dethrone Conan or become a mountain in its path instead of a stone.
@@ashura_allen-otsutsuki_br2910 i think sailing would work best on siptah
The age of civilization is the most likely of the three, but my personal guess is "Age of Shadows". As I see it, Conan Exiles is slowly expanding the playstyles around the usual RPG classes: Age of Sorcery brought mages and wizards into the game, Age of War expanded the way warriors and barbarians can fight and plunder, so next up would be rogues and thieves logically. Considering Conan himself was also a thief and a pirate, it's certainly appropriate to the setting.
I think it would involve implementing a stealth mechanic, which already has some level of functionality since mobs aggro on sight and can be snuck up on by staying out of their line of sight. I think it would begin with accounting for light levels, the time of day and so on. Executions show we can also implement things like backstabs or throat-cutting as a way to start a fight, and maybe certain armor pieces make it easier to hide from enemies. Other features could be ways to create guard patrols with thralls, ways to counter magic invisibility (and the thieves in purges added in chapter 4 by extension) and perhaps an expansion into the PVE structure system introduced with Age of War; perhaps on occasion some encampments get upgraded to small fortress builds in the same way that some enemies randomly spawn as elites, and these can be destroyed or neutralized by players where after they just decay and respawn as regular enemy camps. It would give way more options and support to players who prefer to sneak around and infiltrate other player's structures. The one tricky thing is to how meaningfully implement stealth between players in a way that isn't game-breaking, because many of us remember how much it sucked to get ganked to death by Rogues in World of Warcraft.
Im personally betting on Age of Piracy given the zingarian content and the active war between them and stygia over the trade lanes in siptah. We got a big content dump for Stygians. Follow it with taverns and bars? The natural haunt of any pirate. Plus we already got a map SURROUNDED BY WATER. Could see them expanding out that waterfront a bit and adding some more black hand, and corsair. Oh wait, they've just been dropping it in the bazaar, and recently too. It could be just me hyperfocusing on the small hints but I really wouldn't be surprised especially with that massive highlight on the boats mod. Real good way to gauge interest a year or so in advance to see if its worth hard coding In as a new major feature.
I'd love for an Age of Bugfixes more than anything else. There's too many bugs that have been ignored for years.
Chapter 4 burnt me out, can’t be arsed finishing the BP
Other than the bugs, I actually liked the content in this age. Bugs were really terrible though... I only play PVP so not sure how it is for non pvp players
Just build a ton of dragon bone arrows. each stack of 100 is worth 1K xp on the battlepass and you can do about 7K per day. admin the mats in on you personal instance and afk it.
@@kalfoxx7749 That doesn't work for everyone due to all the bugs with this chapter that cause plenty of people to not gain battle pass xp.
I've suffered this myself and have only gained the xp from the challenges and nothing else.
For a new system meant to make finishing a battle pass faster it has failed some of us miserably making it take twice as long as before.
I think the "Age of Civilization" make sense after this chapter. for everyone to regain and rebuild it up.
Thereafter the "Age of Gods" make sense as people always want something to worship. The beginning of new sorcery.
Then the "Age of Arcane", this would give enough time for a new sorcery system and spells to come into play because of the previous Age and Mek can be revived.
Some very interesting theories, with the introduction of gollums & the taverns, id guess that "working thralls" is in the pipeline, but I don't want to get my hopes up too much!
Fatalities is something I definitely think needs asdressed though, the mechanic is "half done" , stop killing, wait, click attack, occasionally will perform mechanic!
Love the game, but fixing stability & basic mechanics should be priority in my opinion!
Great video though
How about an age of piracy that introduces sea voyages....you can craft a ship and load it with supplies. They will let you engage in new islands and sea battle quests and also would bring back server transfers letting you sail on a "voyage" to Siptah , bringing a limited stock of supplies and limited cargo hold space to bring items back and forth. It would be at a risk of course because if you die and your ship sinks you lose everything on the ship. Then the could have a Rise of Atlantis chapter where Atlantis rises again along with maybe some ancient ones and maybe a new t4 npc in Atlantis: Kull tge Conquerer
I would really like to see an age of stability. The devs really need to take a breather and stabilize their game. This could be done under the cover of an age of thralls, (or similar) where they can expand the thrall mechanics getting them to do resource collection perform some of the functions you have defined in the age of civilization proposal, but they could spend the majority of their time working on unbundling some of the spaghetti code, getting game performance up so that falling through the floor is fixed, improve the AI on both thralls and NPC's populate the bazar with Thrall outfits and emotes etc. The list is endless really. Upshot is that the more complexity they continue to pile onto the mess of code already in there is going to result in a catastrophic failure at some point, something that none of the fans would want to see I am sure.
Im excited to see the new bugs in new age!
this past BP is going to be my last....this game is quickly getting relegated to my library of games I don't play anymore.
if we get an age of gods i want to be able to make rituals for derketo, huehuehue!
And simplfy the sorcerery tree. It's too convoluted.
I'm fairly used to it now, but I think there probably is a more elegant way to handle sorcery, even with it being tied to the lore of the words of power
@@Eradicati0nn I think some improvements to how the UI displays unlocked spells would be good. Be nice to have a more informational view of unlocked spells and what they do rather than that list in the knowledge panel.
Age of Water. There are several forms of water in the game and all of them feel bland as stale bread. The "noob" river feels too safe and the ocean to the east is so empty. I would like to see an actual fishing mechanic added as well as dangerous water animals that can agro players when in the water.
Having semi buildable water transportation added would be fun as well. Canoes, flat boats, rafts that can be used to get around would add a new level of gameplay to both PvPers and PvEers. I'm not talking Ark/Atlas style boat building but close to.
Heck, they could even play into the pirates that are scattered around the map to make new quests and maybe even tie Siptah and Exiled Lands into it.
I just want to be a wizard seafarer is all gosh dang it!
Age of Making Animal Tames actually work right. Look right. Feel right. Pretty sad all the stuff they promised but never gave.
Age of arcane sounds cool id like to be able to use sorcery in pvec fights
How about Age of the Picts? The Picts are here to stamp out the abomination of civilization! In Chapter 1 a Pictish warband attacks your settlement after you "proclaim your civilization" at the Tavern (using the mechanics for the purge). Warbands are smaller than a purge, giving folks a less intrusive, shorter duration buy-in. A semi-permanent Tavern NPC (like Xil) trades you Pict-themed rewards in exchange for Pict Ears taken from the defeated warriors. Funcom can dream up the rest...you're welcome, guys. :)
Some people have said that the game is unplayable on console
If you are playing on an Xbox One, like I am, then that is rapidly becoming true. Al-Meriyah loading in is a big draw on system resources; which, frankly, I wish I could disable entirely so that area of the map is no longer a "death by lag/crash" risk for me and my thralls.
Plays just fine on PS5. My friends on PS4 have more complaints though.
The Age of gods could be the next due to the secret hunt event that's currently running.
I always thought it was weird that if you picked a religion, say, Yimr ... but the followers of Yimr still attack you. There should be a religious progression where some npcs aren't initially hostile because you share religion.
I think the religion needs a serious revamp as long as they can implement it without huge errors in gameplay
I'm just sorry i only came back to Conan now when Age of war chapter 4 started and missed the the entire age of sorcery.. 🙁
Age of Booty. A new slider in character creation to adjust posterior size… and maybe some boat action with the rivers and stuff, idk, maybe thievery.
But some god action would be really really cool… more fleshed out religious system and functionality.
We could combine the Age of Gods and the Age of Arcane. Mek is still a priest of Set, after all.
Of these realistic options I hope it's Age of the Gods, myself, but I could see a religion expansion also being part of an Age of Civilization. More Setite stuff would be sick.
What I'd really love though is for an Exiled Lands map expansion, in multiple directions. Mek could tear down a part of the cursewall, or something. Further into the desert for more desert space and further northeast would be cool and open room for more dungeons. I'd love more dungeons.
Even if it just has to be something like Savage Wilds' dungeon NPC that you speak with and just get plopped "Somewhere Else." e.g. the dungeons don't have physical entrances. Obviously this is a much lesser option, but it's good enough just to give more things to explore.
I think it's a massive bummer the Age of War didn't do enough good stuff with combat because there's not going to be another good opportunity. Enemies are still so slidey and stupid. Strafing around crocodiles and hyenas that rotate in place until you enter their facing cone and they start up an attack is just... very un-modern. But I think the only fix to that would be a whole new game and that's just not likely any time soon. It's been brutal going from Dragon's Dogma 2's combat back to Conan. I can't stop thinking about how much I want to pick people up and throw them into each other.
age of nature that is focused on planting and fields where thralls can plant some fruits or plants and harvest them and fields that are way more usefull then the planting pods that we have right now. also animals that can reproduce and more recipes.
i hope fill up the map in exile land
i just want them to fix the sorted items inventory bug
Age of Monsters!!! New caves and dungeons, new monster types, more hordes!!
The idea that our characters are allied with both Conan and Mek-Kamoses. That does seem a little awkward.
There are thralls of the Amazonian tribe in the admin files since chapter 4- a full set of fighters and crafters. Last Age they previewed age of Amazon before showing Age of War, maybe there was some truth to it. After all, its hard enough to get content they are working on, let alone see work for things that arent going to happen.
I think on an "Age of Trade and Craft", despite not being a theme big enough for a full age I think revamping crafter thralls and adding an economy system to spend the gold and treasure collected would be a nice addition to the game loop.
Age of Civilization to be honest, they need to really focus on bringing your base to life and the world feel thriving.
My guess is that it'll be something we've never thought of, but my hope is that it's something related to religion. I really would love to have a revamp of that whole system.
Age of Gods would be great! They already have nods to Sobek and Hanuman in the game that they could build upon. Plus, the human sacrifice mechanic is already present to be expanded upon. For Mitra, perhaps sacrifices of high-end food or treasure instead? Not wild on an Age of Civilization - I think that strays a bit too far from the survival nature of the game and the theme of being exiled. Age of Arcane would be good if it allowed folks who missed the storyline of Age of Sorcery a chance to catch-up - I came back to CE very late in AoS and missed almost everything.
Age of (stop ignoring) siphta. Where you can travel between the maps and Siphta acually gets some love instead of just bugs with every update
Let’s do an age of stability
Ah yeah. I’m gonna be all over it if it’s good.
More sorcery!..
And bug fixes
I would love to see an age of civilization,but how much can they push the UR engine to support more NPC and groups of NPCS running through a settlement lie normal people
I want more yamatai armor
What about the fact that a god central to Conan lore is basically nearly absent from the game? What about CROM? Why is Crom completely absent from the game?
Crom is in the game as the "no religion" choice. Given that apparently Conan says in some of the source material that "it's best to avoid drawing Crom's attention, as he hands out only dooms and trouble", I think he fits that role well.
That being said, it doesn't necessarily mean he has to be entirely absent. Some effigies or symbols of Crom would at least be a nice thing to have
@@Eradicati0nnA god that gives out only dooms and trouble (challenges) sounds like something that would really be up this game's alley.
@@tomcmburns i don't think you understand how Crom works. Basically it's "i gave you strength at birth, use it to survive and don't bother asking for help, i'm busy eating fried chicken on my mountain and if you bother me with your weakling prayers i'm gonna beat the shit out of you. Survive and i'll welcome you in my realm where you will be an eternal sad fuck and if you die, i'll laugh because it's funny but you better die in battle or i'll beat the shit out of you even harder." You don't pray Crom, you don't ask anything to Crom because the only one who'll be doomed is you. Cimmerians refuse to pray him and even try to avoid anything related to him or his pantheon because they know what the cost is. Gameplay wise, the most accurate way to implement his religion would be, you build a temple for crom, you enslave a priest of crom to be in his temple (a big problem here because priests of Crom just...well...don't exist) and the result is your base gets vaporized because you did all that =D. A great gameplay that would be uh?
Age of Gods would be great, i'd love to see religion be more quest/lore oriented and hopefully they will keep it unrestricted( can learn all religions at once ). i really hope they don't force us to choose 1 religion per playthrough.
learning a religion could require to complete a quest, and leveling up in that religion would require more quests.
Religion in Conan right now is more of a "choose your starting crutch", Set's good for archer builds, Yog for general survival so you don't have to hunt for food and such. As far as "The Age of Civilization" goes I like that idea because imagine becoming a shield smith and you can learn how to forge unique powerful shields instead of being reliant upon named thralls. Legendary ones would still beat them out but you could be the best shieldsmith in the Exiled Lands and give more reason to team up with others instead of solo running. One thing that NEEDS to be changed though is the loss of control of structures built while in a clan, IE "This was yours, now it's ours".
On a side note I can't help but mitch about a bazaar item, the Poitain Jousting set, it feels out of place but it also could be a precursor to civilization if so then my main complaint is the price. 1 armor, 1 shield, 1 lance, 1 barding some hanging decorations and two wooden runners for what's roughly $16USD?
Age of strength without q lock
Normal rolling thrust and stamina regen
i dont care as much as i used too about this game but skipping the next age and fixing the game will make everyones happy
The best new age would be : "The Age of Fixes" but it may well end up with "The Age of Bugs" and i don't ask for giant cockroaches!!😁
Age of rebirth
Farming needs a revamp because it's lame as fuck in current state. Maybe animal breeding, rabbits, goats..
It would be nice to get something pleasant, engaging. Something more complex than a few sad pots.. Put in the seeds and fertilizer that's all go away and comeback tomorrow.
You missed an 'Age'.....the 'Age of what the Dev's are gonna F Up'
age of civilization sounds interesting, introduce a new biome maybe.
If you want an Age of God's then look at the Ancient Sorcery mod
Age of Hanuman A new leader has emerged from the devolved grey apes of the jungle. The Primate Prelate is a self professed Avatar of Hanuman and is searching for lost relics of their ancient kingdom. Introduces the new Hanuman religion. New event Gone Ape! Defend against waves of primates and yeti in a throwback to the old purge. Yet another revamp of the combat system (because every age has to monkey with it apparently) Tons of Lemurian themed objects in the bazaar and battle pass.
I would also say that news of the next age will come either in early June for a pre-vacation release or August after vacation ends.
I'd like to see a "Age of Companions" - where the thralls are finally rebalanced into something that's neither too-OP, nor too weak - especially for the time requirement needed to level up doesn't end up in a few slashes of regular boss-level monsters...or a group of Sepemeru NPCs ganking up, because the AI decided to play funny again and screw you up royally. 😕
Maybe use the the "factions" as a template, to build upon with training & time/fund investement - so that you can reach the old "power levels", but it takes much effort, (RL) time and some resource investments?
That way, if you want to have "3-hit grunts", you just stick with the basic converted thralls. If you want useful "companions" - or even "retinue" - just spend an extended amount of effort to achieve that, and probably take better care of them.
(limited numbers allowed, so as to keep PvP balance in check. Or even - have just separate stat modifiers "vs players", to have PvE and PvP thralls not interfere with each other...)
Age of exploring expand the conan map
Age of Stars...
Religion system really need some overhaul and more meaning in exiled lands.
I feel Age of Gods and Age of Civilizations are equally likely. Honestly, I'd go Civilization first, but that's just me.
I just want more Sorcery stuff man :/ The stuff we got in AoSorcery was..... not good enough.
If they do something like the age of civilisation I hope they'll respect Howard views on civilisation. That it is a inhumane brutal machine that strips men from honesty, honor and respect to only leave a empty shell of envy and cowardice.
Maybe the Jhebal Sag story coming back is a hint that they will do something around barbarism or nature.
