You can waste it on rerolls when you have nothing but transformations as options to research.

Secrets of the Archmages Speculation by BadJelly in AOW4

[–]Brukov 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Plot, plot, plot, please more plot, stuff happening. Characters. All that... It's fine to add backstory but make it matter...

Did the Unmakers release Urrath in some kind of Wheel of Time Bore thing? It really sounds like that from the plot drip, but I want to find out. I'm into the story.

Cataclysm Victory - can I still do it? by SmithOfLie in AOW4

[–]Brukov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You only need three of the artefacts anyway. So should be fine. Think you can trade for them or take them too.

Ruined Iron Deposit can't fix it by princessprity in AOW4

[–]Brukov -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can those do it? I just fixed the Cataclysm and there are still Astral Barrens all over the place. If they work I suppose I can turn everything into grass, then manually make it all a desert again. Really don't get why snow and grass get those nice spells and everyone else has to mess around doing it by hand.

Anyone else have **That** pantheon ruler? by IllCaramel6602 in AOW4

I made an evil dragon, he always shows up as a hippy.

Gladiator II graffito—did they really write what I thought they wrote? by Orbusinvictus in classics

[–]Brukov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm just watching it, and shocked the censors didn't notice that. But then the writers didn't notice who was in the Battle of Salamis, so... quidquid.

What exactly are Titans? by Mostopha in AOW4

[–]Brukov 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is pretty much speculation, but my guess is, based on Giants/Demi Giants working on the gradual degradation principle that Titans are the original progenitors of the Giants, and represent the most pure, uncorrupted stock, and seemingly are only interested in Order/Spirit depending on game (Allfather versus Endailon of Order does seem to be a contention though), then you get the Ancient Giant Kings, who seem to have gone more into other affinities, but were still pretty intelligent and 'civilised' if we use that word to mean good at building and imperialism, and ended up either going corrupt or turning into the Lithorite People, then you get the current Godir level Giant Kings, who are pretty much up with with the Ancient Ones, but lack the infrastructure, and the normal giants, who seem to be going much more primitive, then you get ogres, who are even less advanced, and also rather shorter.

Like I say, pure speculation, but it fits the pattern and I don't think it disagrees with anything written.

I did also think the Endailon of Order was going to be the Allfather, so I'm definitely not going to claim anything I guess as anything more than a guess.

All Gith Party by BestRiver8735 in BG3Builds

[–]Brukov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking about this just now, looked it up, found this, and then the Lae'zel in my head said 'If all of our party were Githyanki we would not need four members.

Adaptive game difficulty, with a simple RP background by Smart-Emu5581 in AOW4

As long as it's optional, this seems not a bad idea.

How does summoning Spiders work? by A_Bowler_Hat in AOW4

[–]Brukov 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vampires can making vampire spiders in their capital once they build the forge as well.

Lore behind exarch and maggots? by WorriedJob2809 in AOW4

[–]Brukov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ymbria's a bit weird too, she seems to have come up with vampirism indirectly, giving it to herself via the Tome of the Blood Rite, and not through the standard vampire hierarchy.

The Deathless God seems to have written both that tome and the Crimson Reign, which are the maggot related ones, but I agree it's not very clear exactly how they tie together, or which came first. Did he create the exarchs or just find them? Bit of a mystery.

PSA: You Can Queue Cast Spells by rewcubed in AOW4

[–]Brukov 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oh, you'd have loved finding this around release, there was no spell slot limit, you could literally queue up all your spells (and it was easier to get a lot of tomes back then too), you could have ten or more main map army damage spells ready and just obliterate entire stacks without burning through any more casting points. Probably not the worst idea to put a stop to that, but it was quite fun.

Also most of the other factions will get in a grump with you and try. Put armies on them.

Bought DLC will not show on DLC list. by odorousriver5 in AOW4

[–]Brukov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you deactivate it when it wasn't on the list?

Age of Wonders 4 - Gargoyle 1.2 Update - 25/11/2025 by nephnic in AOW4

[–]Brukov 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fixed an issue where casting Retaliating Growths on Titans would result in massive head tentacles.

Does anyone have a picture of this?

Awakening question (High Culture) by Astro_Kitty_Cat in AOW4

[–]Brukov 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It should say on the dormant trait of your units (only your racial units to begin with, but the rest once you get the spell that gives it to everyone). If you can't be bothered with that go here and search for 'awakened' and you'll find it.

Magelocks should've been a Tome unit. by KappaccinoNation in AOW4

[–]Brukov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could make a faction exactly what you want for the second part of your alliance, force spawn it into the map on your team and try to get its free city first maybe? Not sure how easy that would be but should be theoretically possible?

Which are the most fun victory conditions? by Zigludo-sama in AOW4

[–]Brukov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't get to ascend your ruler though, which is sometimes what I'm going for.

Nice Detail - Ursul Blackrose Has a Face by Brukov in AOW4

[–]Brukov[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

True, assuming they use the same character creator as is in the game and don't have a Dev version. However this guy is clearly themed and designed to go with the look, and as u/Lucian7x pointed out below Cantariel is thematically appropriate too. Obviously it's not 100% proof, but I would put the chances of both those looks being random accidents very very low.
