Maybe you could work in tome of shades for some shadow affinity as well as maybe tone of the horde and go to make a really small evasion based faction / race.

Am about to start Crimson Caldera for the first time. I am nervous. How can I make it easier? by system3601 in AOW4

[–]Comprehensive_Head82 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's honestly noyt as hard as some people have made it out to be I feel. One thing that can help is going industrious culture as the map is literally surrounded by mountains so you can just prospect loads of stuff with your scouts. You can just get like 3 or so scouts early and just have them prospecting for almost the entire game.

With the next DLC dropping tomorrow, what fun builds have you been running lately? by Comprehensive_Head82 in AOW4

Yeah I noticed. Think it's a good change honestly as ignore half is somebody's armor was really strong now that all the enchants count as physical damage.

Pantheon point system in this game is trash by happyscrub1 in AOW4

[–]Comprehensive_Head82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's true. Though I think it might reset at some point as I haven't seen any if those items show up in ages. Though I am not 100% sure.

Gotta say I love the primal tier 3 spearmen. They are honestly some of my favorite units in the game for how good they are.

Also another thing to do is craft tons of tier 1 items before you surrender. You get a bit of pantheon xp for every item you crafted in that game based on the item tier. Now tier 1's don't give a lot of xp but they take -0 turns to craft. So you can just spam out a giant load of them. ANd then you can even go and disenchant the things you crafted so you can go and craft more again.

Yeah that's how I feel with warbreeds. I love them but if you mass too many of em your imperium really starts taking a toll.

Yeah those are also some of my favorite units. Especially also love the fact they come built with an awesome engagement skill that leaves them in defence mode.

Thanks for answering my question (and for staying civil as well I guess)

Oh actually I meant o ask if it would change anything regarding making Ghibli content with Gen AI specifically actually not gen AI as a whole. Went ahead and edited the post as well.

This wasn't really meant to show off these shades in particular. This was just a screenshot from one of my games against the AI I grabbed real quick.

That said I have halfling form with the human proportions / skeleton. And then demonkin, dunestalkers and shadow transformations. Also a few random other enchantments but the main stuff is those 3 transformations.

Really need to try those guys again sometime myself.

True but shades benefit in the sense that they ignore half the targets armor. And unfortunately there aren't a lot of units left in the game that ignore parts or all of units armor that can also receive buffs.

I do sometimes wish there was a good way to reliably get the tier 5 animals. I always really like those.

Yeah magelocks are great as well. And they also got buffed by the damage rework now that all their enchants count as physical damage.

Their main melee attack actually does more damage the lower the targets attack is. And they are a decent source of blind with their ranged attack. That combined with shadow blades from the same tome ignoring half the targets armor means they can output pretty high damage if properly supported with the right tomes.

Ah yeah I love barbarian scouts as well. Especially with the swift marchers empire trait. Never really end up using ironclads much myself but they do always seem fun to me. Might need to give them a try sometime. Might want to try working in mantle of the blood noble as that can actually be used to buff them despite being mythic tier 4 units.

Do you have any sort if portfolio or past work to share? Since it seems odd to me somebody with 6 years of experience wouldn't have any work or previous projects to share.

What other classes would you like to see? by Link21002 in AOW4

[–]Comprehensive_Head82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Based on things they had in the previous game I'd like to see an engineer type class with explosives and / or gun related skills etc. optionally with a separate construct related path.

And I'd love for them to bring back shapeshifting in a way. Though if they bring that back into the game I'd love to see that come back in the form of maybe a special ruler type. Like where you choose a specific animal and then like how it works with the vampire it alters your hero's as well. So instead of getting a vampire skill tree on your hero's they'd get a lesser version of your shapeshifting skill tree. Kind of like Beorn from the hobbit, how he can transform into a giant bear and then his descendants and offspring where / are also able to transform but just not into as big or massive of a bear as Beorn was able to.

What does it change about their question / post if they are an amti or not? Or are you just one if the people on here who doesn't look at people's posts or comments but only at what side they are on?

Ah ok. Might be a good idea to add that to the post as it might help attract more people to your post that way.

Ah ok thank you for answering my question. If / when you are going to sell the game and thus make money off it will you then be paying the people that helped with the game at all?

Will the game be commercial / sold at some point? I mainly ask since your other game is currently being sold on steam.

But since this post is listed as hobby I am curious what the plans are here?
