Sid Meier's Starships is much cooler now that they added dragons!
Just what the genre needed
Forgive me, I don't understand the joke. This is age of wonders correct?
@twrecks6279 brief summary: spiff scammed potato into doing a starships video, and then just before he dropped this video potato said he'd do another if there was a certain amount of likes.
@@sagekoko69420 Ooooooh lol. I take it the correct amount of likes was reached?
I know you jest but for anyone wanting space dragons Stellaris does have them now with a DLC 😁
The fact that low foliage cover affects your dragon is hilarious. I’m just imagining some enemy standing and looking at a massive dragon then telling his boss that the bush your standing in makes it too hard to hit you.
On a side note:
If you move over water on the map while playing a Dragon Lord/Dragon Units, they fly.
Now, you can change the size of the wings on your dragon - and the smaller they are, the faster they flap! Or the smaller the bigger opposingly.
I am honestly surprised PotatoMcwhiskey did not choose "this Ashen War will end by my hand alone." Especially since the devs have stated that gives a secret ending but it is an incredibly hard to get one
Oh shit
@@PotatoMcWhiskey xD
@@PotatoMcWhiskey no worries just think of the replay value :D
losing is fun!
wait what? there's a secret ending? I chose that option and completed the realm but I don't think I got that secret ending you were talking about, can you explain more about it since I tried searching it and I can't seem to find anything talking about it
I was today years old and over 100 hours in AoW4 when I learned that Barbarian scouts can find outposts and cities.
Potato: builds an outpost right on the border of an opponent
Also potato: where did I meet this dude, where are his units, it is a mystery indeed
One of the cooler things about this game is just how many fantasies it lets you create. I'm already thinking of Smaug the Golden with the single-city trait for his Lonely Mountain
45:17 it's not a bug, you just fat fingered retry 🙃
Nice new video. A few remarks:
- Are summoms really nerfed? I mean how often did they survive 3 Turns to begin with in your army?
It just means focussing on non-summoned enemies is somewhat viable for the enemy. Also there might now be design space for a "banishment" type spell.
- I think you need to read the magic origin text again. They don't just _count_ as magic origin
- it seems like the AI is very focused on your dragon, whenever they can reach it. They do not take kills, going for a dragon in Shield Aura instead.
- somehow hitting _Retry_ at 45:15 made you fight the battle ;)
Truly a mystery for the ages...
I think the AI likes to focus your dragon so much is because the Dragon counts as a mythic unit as well as a hero. The AI is more likely to focus down heroes and they're also more likely to focus down mythics. Individually, the difference is usually not so massive as to cause the AI to be stupid and not finish off other units, but now that you can have a mythic hero, the AI just loses all sense of target priority and opts to always shoot the big lizard.
@@thegamesforreal1673 That does make sense. The usual story of having additive modifiers.
It gave us nuke Gandhi, it gives us Dragonslayer.
Awesome. That pause in AoW after the last video was just about long enough. :D
I enjoy that there are so many dragons stomping around the world, and then Acrion is just there, confused on why everyone is so large
That ancient governor synergies nicely with feodal faction mechanic of lords. You can get 40 science just from the dragon like that pretty early. Then it can be doubled or tripled lategame with specific buildings, one is inherent to feodal, other is from 4th order book.
The last game of AoW4 he said. But here he was. I'm not complaining though.
When founding a city the outpost still remains as a building giving that -10 gold for some reason. U can dismantle that by Iirc (been a while since I’ve had time to play the game) clicking on the gear icon in the city display above the building icon and going to buildings.
I appreciate you watching the replays. It’s fun to watch your armies dominate, even if your commentating rather than directly controlling them.
Amazing! Didn't think we'd get more AoW for a while so this is a pleasant surprise
Potato doesn’t have an AoW problem, he can quit whenever he wants.
You have to respect Potato's work ethic that he can cram in a little AoW content on this dedicated Sid Meier's Starships channel!
In WoW , ''most'' dragon suffixes are (Male/Female): Red : Strasz/Strasza , Blue : Gos/Gosa , Green : Us/Ra , Bronze : Ormu/Ormi (weird exceptions like Anachronos and Chronormu who is actually female), Black : Ion/Ian and Ia for females, plus a lot of edgy non-draconic names.
I think Chromie is canonically a male dragon who likes to appear as a lady gnome. Not sure if it's a subtle nod to guys playing girl characters in video games because they like how they look or if Chromie is trans. Not sure it matters, to be honest.
@@jacobeden2083 could be mistaken but blizz has mentioned she is canonically trans, which is quite neat.
I think he'd get more gold/mana from always selling dead heroes from the hoard gear than he could get from prison/crypt.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who forgets to give your founding city the whispering stone in the beginning lol. New expansion looks awesome!
I want to immediately start playing as a mystic Blue/Silver dragonlord with tome of evolution and every other tome with evolving elementals
Boss… it was the Red Dragons that suffixed “aza”
I wasn't really sold on Age of Wonders before but the Dragons I can't resist Dragons man
Yes outpost upgraded to city have the bug of the -10 gold , but you can destroy the outpost building manually after upgraded to city to negate it.
In a weird way, I feel like hero summons are better now, because the unit spawn in with full action points, meaning the AI will path toward your hero without know a t3 with drop adjacent to it with full action points leading to it making poor decisions in terms of a action point economy
Wow, they put some serious thought and effort in the Dragons. Love it!
27:30 I haven't thought about DemolitionD or his pet lizard in YEARS
so basically following the AoW4 lets play introducing dragons - nice to see another go at it
That desync glitch was weird, but that earlier glitch was just user error lol
I think they need to add a confirmation or something to the Retry Battle option, I've accidentally retried battles I meant to watch too lol
YES, MORE AOW!!!!!!!!💜💜💜
Hysterical. "I think i'm okay with his skills" IMMEDIATELY resets skills.
Dragons! all the dragons! Love this DLC
"That's a strange bug", he says, after pressing the retry button and wondering why he is fighting the fight himself. 😅
potato out here finding all the bad dragons at 32:35
36:58 u can delete the outpost in city structure tab and not suffering -10 gold for upkeep
Tiny body + large head = chibi. Chibi Dragons. Yes please!
... Oh boy... Tome of Evolution with Beasts is going to be absolutely broken. Spamming out spiders or wargs is gonna be scarily effective since they'll all have resurgence and as such become expendable in battles so long as you get good trades
Potato showing his inner FLORIDA MAN, you show them swamp puppies.
45:52 no it wasn't. You just clicked retry😂.
I knew you couldn't stay away! I was excited for this.
aww I was excited to jump back in with dragons now, guess you have early access.
32:35 "We found all of the Bad Dragons" Potato 2023
The thing with the dragon is tho - he has so many abilitys that just end turns. I did a run myself - where I started underground and didn't leave untill Turn 50 or so. In the madness scenario where everyone declares war on you. I could build up my Expierence on the Dragon and he was level 13 before fighting the first Ai.
45:30 was no a bug haha watched you press retry and knew you’d react like that. Love ur vids
Little cool suggestion regarding your Dragon Lord:
They are extremely strong. Even moreso, coming with the Skill Points you can place on them. You can quite literally make them a one-man Army and just annihilate most stacks.
Pick Nature Dragon. As for both the Aspects (Levels 4 & 12) pick Materium & Shadow (Nature works too). And for 8/16 pick Summon Animal and/or Mass Rejuvenation. Or, if one isn't available, pick the Frostfire Detonation.
As for the actual skill points themselves:
Tail swipe, Scales, Comet, Tail Bash, Quickening Breath, Nature Aura
Then you can focus on like more scales, Defense, etc., until you get around Mid-game / Late-game and you an reset your perks to syngergize more with the build as well as still being a One-Dragon Army.
This came from Ic0n Gaming's guide for his One-Man Dragon Army haha.
Seems to me that a better way of creating the dragon is make them smaller. Then you can perceive where they are on the map and they don’t hide other units. The size is still big and it won’t change the effectiveness.
was waiting for this one!
Glad to see you still enjoying the game. I'm about 130 hours in and just kinda hit my second wind with it. Additionally, the update and dlc have me psyched. kinda wish we got more than two tomes, but I'll take what I can get.
And now much later in the video, in response to your comment on folks getting fussy about the auto-combats: I think the commentating replays is totally fine, and often I end up using the late game, and even some mid-games, as more of an autobattler that I'll only really step in if I need to.
No bug, you just clicked Retry instead of Watch Battle.
Yup..definitely gona Role-Playing as Nergigante,Alatreon, & Fatalis..cant wait for the updates!
Does Draconic Transformation give your race Animal tag just like Gaia's Chosen gives you plant tag? If it does Animal Kinship becomes insane
It gives your units the Dragon tag, which gives them the "draconic rage" ability, giving a damage bonus when low on health.
This whispering stone staying in the bank for so long is painful :’)
Potato: I'm done playing AoW4 until some DLC drops
AoW4 devs: Oh, you haven't heard?
I have waited so long for you to cover this 🤣
Am I the only one seeing this ashen war scenario as a heavy Mistborn era one reference?
36:55 They fixed the Outpost > Town bug. If you are playing an old version, update to latest version of the game.
49:22 Militarist is great. If you are recruiting Young Dragons, remember that those count as Fighters, so Militarist applies. (so does Artisan Armaments, Sundering Blades, etc.) (they get Evolve bonuses too)
So much for taking a break from AoW4... Not that I'm complaining, lol.
Is that what he said? Or did he say until the new expansion is available? I think that this might be the new expansion.
So Potato is into Donkey Kong Crocs.
36:57 You can dismantle the Outpost structure in the city overview to get rid of the 10 gold upkeep.
As someone who's kinda on the edge if I should buy this game or not.. I must say that I really like that the game let's you watch auto-resolve replays and choose to fight manually if you don't like the auto-resolve outcome.
Early Potato preview for the new expansion? HELL. YES.
Enjoy the fast compromise of watching some battle replays. I enjoy the economic domination and building unit and tome combos, but I also want to see it all in action on the field.
lol...
@26:09 "I'm gonna ignore the spider egg this game"
@26:24 "I'm gonna make a spider"
Finally the Dragon Dawn video I have been waiting for!
The RED dragon women are called ..strasza, as in Alexstrasza.
Can you prospect those mountains near your base for items for the dragon horde skill?
If you are Industrious.
im exited to go for a nature dragon with industrious culture. nature regen aura should work really well with bolstering frontlines and tome of glades archers
9% off is such a specific and weird choice of promo code discount % that I kinda respect it
I would respect 69% more.
Hey PotatoMcwhiskey! Thank you all the funny and brutal gameplay videos. You were the main reason I bought this game. I really like AoW4. I'd like to ask if I buy the expansion pass, can i play with the dlc now? The release date for this dlc is 20/06. I'm a little confused. 😅
Hi! An interesting series idea maybe would be to play through the games with default rulers. I did understand the basics of the game quite easily and learned fast thanks to your commentary! However, watching you play with the default rulers and utilizing their pre-built traits to the fullest potential would be an amazing thing to watch. It would also maybe allow u to switch ur playstyle a little bit (?)
Age of Wonders 4 is my very first 4X game i decided to buy thanks to your channel and amazing commentary. Cheers mr Potato
You def hit retry at 45mins lol.
Nice my favorite AOW content creator made another video
For Warcraft dragons, their name endings depend on sex and flight. So, strasz for males, strasza for females (red dragons). The other flights have different naming conventions (gos, gosa for male/female blue dragons respectively) For green dragons the naming convention is -us like in Eranikus from sunken temple or -ra like in Ysera.
Small thing in the video to comment on, but hope this makes it more clear.
Speed is set to 0.75 and this is the perfect video. :D
Haha potato equipped the turn 1 murder ring on turn 20 or so.
Was waiting for this!
Potato the "stras's" are from the red dragonflight 6:12, you are thinking of Ysera of the green dragonflight
I feel doing combats in AoW4 is very fun, and with the auto combat it can also be very efficient. Add the fantasy/horde/etc. context and my wish list for Civ7 is almost done.
Well im gonna need to make all of the Chroma Conclave ^^
I think the dragon should fly solo and focus on combat skills while the second hero leads the army and focuses on passive army buffs. Getting killing momentum on the dragon as soon as possible is probably good.
The wait was worth it!
Haven't watched a Potato video in a while. I forgot that his videos need to be watched at 0.75x speed if you want to understand anything.
commenting the battles is fun
makes me remind of heljimal from overlord!
man, rapid evolution makes auto resolve absolutely broken, it basically allows the AI to sacrifice the tier 1/tier 2 units at no cost to you.
Oh no video games are discovering my weakness for dragons. Welp I was already thinking of getting AoW now its official.
Red dragons are strasz or strasza, green dragons have names like ysera, eranikus, merithra, and itharius
You clicked Retry at 45:18 not Watch Replay. Human bug, not game bug. 😂
Donkey Kong?! Now requesting you make a run as King K Rool
Fun fact: 'Boszorkan' is very similar to the Hungarian word 'Boszorkány', which means 'witch'
I still remember the day Potato said he will stop playing until new DLC come out. 1 week later Dragon Dawn come oute😂
Nice
Has "Expanded Governance" (+1 city cap) imperium cost been nerfed ? For reference it costs 200(initial) + 300 *for each city you have above 4 in vanilla. For the initial cost I'm pretty sure it will be nerfed, just curious if the variable part was too. Thx
I would think Experienced Leader would be a pretty strong goto early for your heroes and dragon, it will help evolve your units faster. Also I think that tier three order tome that has the rank up units spell would be great too.
I think Experienced Leader is a trap. Getting a talent that makes you better at winning fights means you can fight more enemies, resulting in lots of xp. 2 xp per turn just isn't a lot.
@@mqb3gofjzkko7nzx38 i used to think that, and used to never take it because of that reason, but for whatever reason it actually does rank up you units quite quickly, idk if its a bug or what but it does.
@@mqb3gofjzkko7nzx38 plus with this AI, i doubt missing one skill will make you start losing battles. So just as many battles + extra exp per turn. Win/win
@@Tubalcain422 It's not just a matter of winning or losing but how much damage you take. Taking less damage means more time fighting and less time recovering.
Wow
Imo Industrious is THE culture to go with Dragon Lords, you get tons of items for your hoard from prospecting. I don't think any other culture really compares.
54:20 my guess is in the real auto battle it didnt summoned unicorn but diffrent animal. I went out of sync when animal unit that was suppose to be out of range teleported and attacked.
Good idea :)
Dragons Horde is unequipped items that why it seems like you didn't have as much gold/mana as you expected
there you go
45:00 Potato you have misclicked no bug at all
Could you let us know if you got any notes for this run? I saw JumboPixel's early access vid and was curious if people playtesting have started laying down a build that green dragons are the go-to.
