The modular faction creation and generic units actually works better for AoW than hand crafted ones with unique units (which were mostly designed like shit and unbalanced anyways, at least in 3)Age of Wonders 4 is just a better game, deal with itAlso the map editor and modding tools in 4 are just better overall
>>747671645Nah, AoW3 is the peak of the series.
i've only ever played the first when I was a kid. the modern franchise looks daunting.
>>747671801Lol, noAoW3 might've actually been worse than 2 even
2 > 1 > 3 > 4 > Planetfall
>>747671645I agree, but I hate how censored this game is.>nymphs are some genderless plants>literal succubus with A-cupsI miss my high fantasy from AoW3 bros.
>>747672719desu I just wish there were more uses for souls outside of necromancy and that shadow had proper thief/rogue stuff for it...most of the stuff you have is necromancer-centric with sprinklings of eldritch, blood magic, the shades and spoders with the newest DLC...
>>747672719Okay I'll give you that, AoW3 has that over 4>>747672852More blood magic would be great
>>747672852>>747673363I couldn't quite get the vampire-memes to work. The Blood Exarch felt underwhelming with his pure physical attacks and little damage amplification options. Bloodletting could be rad, but a whole "spell-round" spent on applying 2 stacks of bleeding didn't feel worthwhile.
>>747671801Hmm. Nah
>>747671645I like 4.. but how many dlcs? Man
>>747674567+200euros worth by now. Shit's insane.
>>747674315blood stuff tends to work a lot better with units that can innately cause bleed or if you nab Obsidian Weapons from the tome of dwayne johnsonphysical also has the advantage of being resisted by very few enemies outside of ethereal unit so you're not gonna have to worry too much about elemental resists
>>747671645Game is great and i personally like the high customization freedom of picking racial mountsAltho the last update ruined skirmisher builds but made mage piles better with magefighters
