thinking of getting this & the dlc, is it worth it? what's the best race?
>>724050989Worth it.No races. Cultures. Race appearence is just cosmetic.Best culture at the moment is probably Oathsworn
I love this game but I'm just a newbieI'm trying different racesshould I prioritize buildings that give knowledge and civ points?should I just make an outpost anytime I find a valuable resource or is 100 gold too much?
>>724051692Max your city-cap asapHave a strategy for what victory you want to go forHave a strategy for what research path you will take (even something simple like "pick anything that bkksts archers")
>>724051509why is oathsworn the best? its a DLC culture right?
>>724052942It's DLC , yes.Because it's easy to get their gimmic going ( build up devotion -> profit)Arguably Barbarians and Mystics are up there too , the former for conquest victory , the later for summons playstyle.
why does this game not get talked about more?
>>724053972Kind of a weird niche where you have to like both layers>>724053414Mystics are so cracked. I think both attunement and summoning are better than oathsworn.
>played a summon faction>didn't use summons because I thought they were worse than normal units I could produce>mid-late game realize I had so many summoned units buffs that I didn't use
>>724050989It's a decent game that I've played quite of a bit of (the customisation is cool), but I don't like how they made magic like a world type of effect even in combat rather than the caster launching it. Only Age of Wonders 1 and 2 did that right and if you played them you would know what I mean, but ever since 3 they basically made it much worse which annoys me.
>>724056079>but I don't like how they made magic like a world type of effect even in combatwhat do you mean? everyone being able to use magic?
>no mention of dark cultureBaneful curse + wizard king for loads of double casts means negative status protection on everyone.Personally feel like they should revert the change to sundered defense/resistance so it no longer applies -1 status protection per stack.
