Why are tier 1 skeleniggas so expensive to raise in this shit game
This game truly is disappointing. Easily the worst of the AoW series.
This game truly is amazing. Easily the best of the AoW series.
>>2154626Super early game skellies aren't great, but once you have a basic souls economy rolling they become pretty spammable. The only limits are huw much mana you've got for upkeep and how many souls you want to save up for lategame shenanigans. But the best thing about skelies is how you can replenish them on the go without needing to waste time and mana on summoning spells. Once you get some good enchants on them (like Mighty Meek) they become quite good troops. And most likely the skellies you raise are not going to be of your own race because you're raising enemy corpses, so if you're going for a full skelly spam build that means you can pretty much ignore transformations until you get Wightborn.
>>2154626This game truly is mid as fuck. Not great, not bad either, nothing special.
the ONE (1) thing this game does better than its predecessor is damage reduction based on the number of models, I'll give it that
>>2154626 didn't like at allthe fact they tried to implement that stupid faggot gay ass gender thingie and make it functional over THE KARMA SYSTEM, which is not working at all, is proof of their hate towards what the previous titles and the game itselfthey also destroyed the concept of race and relationships, instead of making one race, lets say elves, and only making them to have a path of accession or transformation into an unique higher race for them, they did it for everyone. making transformation pretty much just another bland spell... SOULLESS
A better question is why does this triangle head bitch make me wanna give her a dongle?
>>2156660Because your human feebleness cries out for the superior elven cunny.
>have an entire faction of cool crystal elementals>can only get them if your map happens to have Zardoz on itwtf Triumph

People here psyched for Thrones of Blood?
Anybody got good Mods?
>>2193580why isn't "single gender race" a vanilla option anyway?
>>2154630which do you prefer?
>>2154630Is it worse than AoW 3 spam high tier units the game?
>>2198267yes, because now it's aow4 spam high tier-1 units the game
>>2193964There is a mod that sort of allows it, "Culture Unit Makeover" but it is a bit janky.
>>2154630That's quite an achievement, considering how abysmal 3 was
>>2168302>be me>play aow1>play aow2>try aow3 and it's shit>but get players to try out aow2>don't play aow4 at all, because i have still the same regulars to play aow2 withfeels even better, man
>>2183438Yes!
>be me>play aow1, gotyay>play aow2, it's mid>play aow3, it's real bad>play aow4, build a bear races make me want to kms
Game is updated on gog-games dot to btw
>>2198267AoW3 had good early game balance but terrible late game, where the only way to win was to summon spam units.>>2198267
I am miffed that some mods are only on the paradox plaza, because of Steam bullshit and some mods are only on the Steam Workshop because of people being lazy.How do I manage with shit like that?
>>2249808Albert Einstein would download from both places.
Is this the general for AoW4? Why do you monkeys always fuck up the OP?
>>2156524I'd say the system in AoW4 is more SOVL because it enables you to do a lot of RP stuff. Its only gay and stupid when you are dealing with min/maxers who take whatever tomes and transformations are the most powerful or busted.
What's a good first culture type to learn the game with?
>>2256167Feudal Monarchy is the default for a reason
>>2255205Nah, this is a leftover thread that was posted when the general was still active and which somehow never dropped off the catalog.
>>2255205People just make a thread when they want to bitch or there's new content comingThe real general if anything, I'd say is on /civ4x/ on /vg/. I noticed the AoW4 posting there increased a fair bit once the actually active thread on /vst/ diedThe free weekend was probably also a reason
Any general tips for a shitter? It feels like I never have enough of anything when playing these games.
>>2257676In general, two things you do in this game are acquire resources to get bigger/better units to acquire more resources.So at the start of the game you want your starting army with your faction leader to go fight those little independent armies sitting on top of resource points. This gives you lebensraum, your leader experience, and your city an injection of whatever resource that point represented. You want to reinforce your starting army with units recruited from your city or summoned, a lot of tier 1 tomes start you off with a summon able unit. Ideally, you take fight after fight with either few losses, or enough healing in between so that there's no downtime, you're constantly beating up independents and collecting more stuff.You'll get to recruit a second hero like 10 turns in. Make sure to give them an army too and go kill more independents. Pay attention to the what province improvements are 'boosters' for city buildings, which cut the construction time and cost in half. The game wants you to have a 'balance' of provinces, but you can change these later. Being able to construct buildings quickly is another part of the snowball. You start the game with only 1 city, but a city cap of 3. You should try to settle your next 2 cities as soon as you can, your second hero can help with that. More cities = more resources to feed your army.
>>2156660>>2164686>>2170445>>2179698Imagine spanking the title image woman's ass until it's light red and then fucking her silly
>>2258079What are some of he better culture to learn the game with? Is the samurai one any decent or do I just stick with feudal?
>>2258217I would say feudal and barbarian are the most newbie friendly cultures. Oathsworn aren't exactly complicated but they require you to play in certain ways to maximize their bonus' which can be quite limiting when you are exploring the game.
>>2258105No one? Only I appreciate spanking a villainess? Hm.
>>2258217Feudal Monarch is straight forward. Barbarians and their scouts can build outposts. Mystic - Summoning with a focus on animals is funny, your summoned animals from the spell count as magic origins.
>>2258217Any of the base game cultures should work just fine, honestly. Personally I learned the game with Mystics. The DLC cultures all have some quirks which make them not ideal for learning.The more important thing IMO would be to pick one affinity and go all in on that. The base game tomes for each individual affinity are generally designed to synergize with each other and make a well rounded build, and having a lot of one affinity means you'll be able to reach the good nodes on the empire tree faster and gives you a good chance of succeeding affinity checks.
Does CreamAPI still work for AoW4? I'm seeing conflicting information online.
>>2262880Answering my own question, yes it does.
>>2262880>>2265182The fuck you using Steam for, the game is on GoG.
>>2156660because it reminds you of a superior character
