    Age of Wonders 4 is a brand new fantasy strategy game releasing on May 2! Rule a fantasy realm as an all-powerful Godir wizard king... or challenge their rule as a champion of mortals! In this video, I showcase my build for a race of mana-addicted goblins, using the mystic culture and attunement traits to create an absurdly powerful army that gets even stronger every time I cast a spell!

    If you can't tell, I'm quite excited about this game! And if you want to follow along with this build but you don't have mana addict unlocked yet, it still works pretty well! You'll just be missing that vampiric self-sustain. Anyway, game releases on May 2nd! play.ageofwonders.com/Pravus

    One of the few things about Age of Wonder 4 I'm not liking the look of so far is the how little the Body and Mind Traits do to actually make each race feel unique. I don't think they change enough about how the races do things. I would make it so you get 5 traits. 2 body traits, 2 mind traits and a special trait. Special traits would be stuff like abilities you can use in battle/the world. For example, in Age of Wonders 3 the Tigrans had the ability to "pounce" and halflings had the lucky trait that made them avoid damage with high morale. Stuff like that.

    • @Mossy.Vagabond
      @Mossy.Vagabond Рік тому +1

      What makes it even worse is that the AI doesn't randomize their body and mind traits. Every particular non-player race you meet will have the same 2 form traits in every map you play. In general, a lot of the "infinite customization possibilities" really only happen on the player's side.
      Race itself has no effect on anything anymore (for example, an orc archer has the same stats as an elf archer and there are no longer any racial skills, unlike in previous Age of Wonders titles). This really does more to hurt variety and (especially) uniqueness of races/cultures than add to it in my opinion.
      I wager AoW4 will have way less staying power and start to feel samey a lot quicker than previous Age of Wonders titles. The world generation options seem to be the one way to add a lot of spice to your game, instead of the variety of opponents you get to fight and adapt to.

    • @mermidion7552
      @mermidion7552 Рік тому

      its kind of a thing that i noticed in some games when they try to be "modern". some games (and some mmo's) start with divided races/alliances/folks with a deep lore behind it and each one having strong unique traits that makes you want to check them out or immerse yourself in there story but later they sadly decide to simply throw all that away and say "everyone can do anything and be anything except for being unique or having a deep lore/culture of there own.
      The upside is that if you want to do something unique like have high magic wood living Dwarfs that have friendship bond with orcs...you can.
      The downside is that pretty much any deeper lore/story/immersion is kind of gone and all this modern approached games will start to feel the same.
