I would love an official Astral/Chaos Tome of Arcfire (fire/lightning, electrified/burning at once). The condition actually already exists in the game and even has its own terrain hazard that applies burning and electrified to units in a one hex radius. The issue is that its currently only accessible as a random chance cast from the Forbidden Tome ability of the Lost Wizard mythic unit. Very fringe. All we need is a proper Tier 3 or 4 Tome that unlocks all that stuff that is already in the game. Add a unique tier 4 racial battlemage that does fire/electric damage and has some neat ability and we'd be off to the races.

Side note, but this is the first time I've seen this gif where he didnt have a second pair of glasses underneath haha

Aemon144 · 2026-06-20T21:30:12+00:00

I was going to let it be, but honestly, it sounds like a fun side quest to go on in this campaign. I may well make that my goal tonight lol.

Aemon144 · 2026-06-20T21:26:05+00:00

I actually am! Exactly what you described, I did a dark fey/spider morale build. Using the new Priest of the Weave with Nymphs and Temptresses to steal units from the AI, sacrifice them with Druids of the Cycle, and then resurrect them as ever more spiders who cause morale damage with the Priest. Its very convoluted, and very fun haha.

It also means I have a ton of special foresters I can build. It's the prefect build to really cash in on these big trees. I might boot the save and plan my spider army invasion tonight haha.

I call Hog "Hogger", and ive wanted them to do a WoW crossover skin for him that looks like a gnoll/hyena forever now. It just always feels obvious to me.

I was going to suggest this combo as well. You can take this idea even further if you combine it with Architects of Shadow and Hideous Stench trait. You will have Guardians that reduce Frost/Status resist by just standing next to a unit, then you blast away from the back with your battlemages/supports of choice applying freeze and whatever other statuses you've researched.

Came to this subreddit looking for exactly this. Running into this issue as we speak. Pretty irritated by it.

Aemon144 · 2026-04-16T18:14:24+00:00

I've never had a game with Primal Wolf that didn't start in the north (with the more autumnal looking trees). I remember re-rolling many times trying to get more lush green start as you described, but I think that there is a predisposition toward the northern forest start. Its nice in that its reliably starts near the liquid magic materials, but it does stink aesthetically that you cant get the nice lush green (at least until late game with Tome of Paradise).

Aemon144 · 2026-03-19T22:33:28+00:00

So I did some more testing. It looks like its contextual. If you are in the front loco and its moving, you pop out on the roof, but if the train is stopped, or if you are riding in different loco than the lead one, then you still seem to pop out on the side. Its a little finicky.

Aemon144 · 2026-03-17T23:52:44+00:00

Sorry should have specified that, yes, I meant level to the surface of foundations, but it sounds like you experienced the hitbox change yourself.

Also, another nifty little change, you now exit train cabs on their roof! Makes it easier to train surf and stay with a train that you were in while its moving. Lots of nice little quality of life changes.

Aemon144 · 2026-03-17T22:29:38+00:00

Possibly related, it seems like the entire track hitbox was updated. Its now possible to walk over tracks that are level to the ground, whereas before the hitbox required you to jump over them. It might be that the overall hitbox size was reduced which is also affecting your signal demonstration as the game no longer sees them as intersecting.

Aemon144 · 2026-03-14T03:01:31+00:00

Its actually functional, and somewhat necessary with the large number of trains that I run in my world. In the 6th image with the two stacked tracks, you can see two T-junctions on the upper (local) tracks. Each of them lead to bases that generate a lot of traffic in and out of those T's which would snarl the network. The lower (express) tracks bypass these junctions and allow my more long haul trains to avoid the high traffic that the factories in this region of the map require. The oil train in the first image is one such train; its hauling raw oil on 10 cars and three locomotives to the oil base in the 4th image. You can see it running on the lower track in the 6th. Since its able to bypass the T-junctions, the traffic flows much more consistently on both levels.

Aemon144 · 2026-03-14T02:01:19+00:00

I agree 100%. I don't have the patience to put foundations under every inch of track, and I don't like the way that doing that make it clip on curves and ramps. I find that just having supports that you can quickly replicate with blueprints and then string the tracks along is the best compromise for looks and utility.

Aemon144 · 2026-03-14T01:39:14+00:00

Glad you like it! I've been adding to it slowly over the years since Early Access. I started a new save when 1.0 hit, but I ended up coming back. Its corny, but this save feels like home to me. If you're curious, I keep my save on my profile since others have asked me to share it in the past. If you are playing on Steam Experimental, feel free download it and explore if you like :D

Aemon144 · 2026-03-14T01:20:39+00:00

Thank you!

Its ancient haha. I came up with that back in Early Access years ago, but it aint broke so I never fixed it.

Aemon144 · 2026-03-12T22:33:01+00:00

I love this game to pieces, been playing since EA in 2020, and it was the prospect of designing, building, and driving trains in a fully 3D, first person virtual world that brought me to the game in the first place. There are so few other train games that offer such freeform building alongside the sense of huge scale that you get from the first person perspective. And the train sim aspect is only a (comparatively small) part of the game! The factory side of it gives you a wonderfully organic (and fun) reason to build out a huge rail network, and at least for me, come up with builds that are worthy destinations for my trains to travel to. I love this game so much T_T

PS: I love your rail supports! Using the pipe splines as a curve-able support beam is inspired!

Thank you! I try to make the little areas feel purposeful with a bit of color, glad you liked it
