A few ideas to consider - 1) Grab forced march if you have some spare emperium, could be useful with your observers to scout a bit quicker and probably would have let you get the one in the north out of range. Since their health doesn’t matter at all, the negatives of using it is completely negated. 2) if you do vassals Hawaii, I’d drop a teleporter in there first. It doesn’t seem likely that you’d need it, but having one there might be useful some day with a minimal loss from the vassal income - which you honestly done need any additional income at this point. 3) It might be the right time to start building an army for the other dragons - getting some gold golems and ironclads lined up and moving towards the front line to be ready (to start collecting late taxes) for the next dragon. It’ll take some time to manufacture and move them to the lines and you’re very close to just knocking out the immediate threats.
Great ideas, thanks! I've already gotten started on your point #3 as I have begun productions of gold golems. Originally I was planning to spread them between my armies somewhat evenly, but I might instead target them at the necromancer since they can shrug off all those nasty debuffs (especially decaying)
I hadn't thought about it, but that's a good idea. All those poor people are cramped together pretty tightly there, haha. Honestly that might be the worst AI city placement I've ever seen XD
17:26 You actually can't design a dragon to look like that. This is a nature dragon, but all those "leaves and stuff" only come when you get the Gaia's Chosen major transformation.
Ohhh ok, that makes sense since I feel like I would have noticed it in the character creator. I actually didn't know that the major race transformations affected the visual appearance of the dragons at all. That's cool :)
Integrating Father's Rest should give you a few more magic items, so maybe check out what they would let you unlock for item creation. Also, as you're starting to knock enemies out, you might want to keep an eye out for gold income options.
Good idea, I'll add a note to check the item forge after integrating the city! As for future gold income, my plan was essentially turn every newly-captured city into a vassal and then force them into submission with war supplies. Did you have something more specific in mind?
I've never actually thought to use it in province that didn't have mountains since I hyper-focused on the terraforming aspect of the spell, lol - good thinking :)

24:41 All Mythic units get Killing Momentum this way, you just don't see it often because Mythic units come so late for players.
That's good to know, I never noticed that was something they all had in common!
Great Video Man AO4 new update FTW!!
Thanks! So far I'm loving this new update. It's a good one :)
1:15:10 The first of many :)
2:11:40 Kevin and Sam are both without pants, too (:
Geez, leave it to Kevin and Sam to come to work without pants. Sounds like we're gonna have to get Dave from Human Resources involved...
Are you planning to break Omnispire free by bringing down a few mountains?

Don't forget that earth shatter can also be use to damage all enemies in a province.

Since you are going to make a bunch of those flanking rings, it is the perfect time to use the new blueprint feature in the item forge.
Oh that's right, good idea. That's a relatively new addition, isn't it?
@@BlackArrowGaming It cane with the latest update. I haven't even tried it out myself
