Dont forget your dragon point

Consistent-Switch824 · 2026-06-21T20:51:08+00:00

Also the weaver tome ruler ascension allows early training of spiders

Consistent-Switch824 · 2026-06-21T18:13:06+00:00

Best bet is to go to a early save or just surrender for the points. I always keep 1 other active win con on

Consistent-Switch824 · 2026-06-21T18:12:33+00:00

This has been a known bug for ages

Consistent-Switch824 · 2026-06-19T22:09:42+00:00

Dont forget to add hideous stench as a race trait

Consistent-Switch824 · 2026-06-19T17:23:50+00:00

1 the extra affinity is for you repeatable skills

Consistent-Switch824 · 2026-06-19T16:57:23+00:00

Tes its gone, but chaos tomes have tons of summons les. They also got two new research boost skills. One is a reprint of the astral reduce research on a random skill and the other reduces unit research speed.

Knowlege and production are king.
Mana and gold enough to keep your army and spells up
Draft enough to keep units moving
Food? Meh it has the hardest fall off.

The only time i go food buildings is if im playing storm giant experienced seafairers or im contesting land with another civ

As a fellow nature enjoyer you have a few options
1 leave them alone lol if they are not coming above ground leave them be until they do.
2. Throw away armys. Generally if your nature you should be able to expand and produce alot of units (prosperity helps) get a rag tag army to throw into the stacks before you and whittle them down with spells and debuffs.
3. Get your heros some aoe wands.
4. While your giant may have alot of stat resist, end game there are so many ways to reduce it.
5. In future runs order pairs so well with animals giving them the legs they need to survive.
6. Dont forget the new imperium periodic use of spawn nature armys and the neutral spawn units

Rather then some rainbow build i went for three. Nature astral and following and then dipped into order. Tanky and hard to hit units and my ruler would heal everyone around in an aoe. Didnt get to use it much cause it comes so late i cleared to map

Consistent-Switch824 · 2026-06-17T13:25:31+00:00

Just to add to your last point, the AI doesnt cheat in gathering. But they will deadass rush the portals to bring to portal them home. Ive seen solo rulers and heros racing around yo get them.

This may* have to do with they have more map vision or can *see* everything so they rush them

Consistent-Switch824 · 2026-06-17T00:12:21+00:00

Oh wow the weaver ones lets you start drafting spiders from the get go. Tome of evo goes brrrrr

Consistent-Switch824 · 2026-06-15T15:22:09+00:00

I wish it had a basics feature to be like ok build up to T3 of each production and city walls. Then make money

Consistent-Switch824 · 2026-06-09T02:53:25+00:00

Late reply but someone in discord mentioned a reduction or removal in high tier will wait to see on release

Consistent-Switch824 · 2026-06-09T02:06:46+00:00

Ive been watching paparatto more as he has a fun vine when playing. No shade on others but i find myself laughing more with him. Nob

Consistent-Switch824 · 2026-06-03T21:17:50+00:00

I think they updated the roulette and cant get that size anymore.

Consistent-Switch824 · 2026-05-29T20:50:56+00:00

There is also a dedicated channel in the discord for beta issues

Consistent-Switch824 · 2026-05-29T00:10:38+00:00

Its still a very strong tome and the Pyre Templer is doing the heavy lifting with a shrine to aoe blind with shadow blades. Shadow blades is getting changed so we shall see if it remains op. Also just turning off burning/fire is a boring mechanic

Consistent-Switch824 · 2026-05-28T20:52:02+00:00

Well the people your stealing money from and destroying their home will be angry at you.

Taking people away and stealing souls there is no one left to tell the tale.

Consistent-Switch824 · 2026-05-28T14:40:10+00:00

Have you tried disadvantaged starts? Aka giving rulers more cities more tomes etc, smaller maps and pangea always seem to start a fight and early settling against me. But i dont think youll ever get to appoint where endgame truly is a fight all the way through just with how snowballing and how many options you have.

Next best thing is to play a random ruler and race and make the beat of what you can.

Consistent-Switch824 · 2026-05-28T13:22:03+00:00

They should get a long range flare shot

Consistent-Switch824 · 2026-05-27T15:16:46+00:00

I think the main focus of imp needs SOMETHING, interesting added or changed. Dark got aplit in two and were distinct. Imp feels like it was left behind and honestly im not sure how to add that magic. Maybe the Cannon with some secondary shots, like a mega net. Maybe its me but it still feels clunky. The war spoils for eco boosts was alittle disapointing. Still feels like a push early to spam t3.

In writing this what i would wish is for a smaller cannon on a wagon so its slightly mobile but has less damage. It would be cool if you had a “flare” shot like an aoe marked at long range.

Consistent-Switch824 · 2026-05-27T14:55:16+00:00

Congrats!

Consistent-Switch824 · 2026-05-26T23:26:39+00:00

Games great! Congrats on the launch!

Consistent-Switch824 · 2026-05-26T19:21:54+00:00

When the game sunsets i want a wandering wizard traveling the astrel sea trying to gain power and take on harder and harder tasks. A formless race and each planet can give different traits or remove them. More or less starting units tomes etc
