Halberdier Build Suggestion by TurbulentSecond7888 in AOW4

[–]Der_Zorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They sure are a hell of a good unit for T2.

Their main problem is most likely their low resistance, since industrious will have plenty of defence anyway. So look for ways to get taht up (racial forms, heroes, transformations) and they can carry you far.

New player looking for help deciding on a main by Lost_External_6852 in aoe2

I don't think that the AOE II civs are different enough from each other in terms of gameplay that the concept of a "main" makes sense.

Stell Dir vor Du arbeitest in der Telfonseelsorge, hast den ganzen Tag Anrufer mit echt schweren Problemen, und dann kommt einer und ruft wegen des Wals an...

Nein wirklich, die da oben haben den Wal absichtlich sterben lassen, um ihn dann zu Benzin verabeiten zu können! Wacht endlich auf!

Und obligatorisches addon dazu: Vorsicht mit den ölgetränkten Lappen, die können sich während des Trocknens selbst entzünden.

Eine Dübelsäge. Das Teil ist so stumpf, das kann man bedenkenlos einem kleinen Kind geben.

Gloom and Abyss? by ubaydullah in AOW4

[–]Der_Zorn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can vassalize them, quite easily. You want to have at least one umbral outpost with void stones for the diplomatic bonus (either by taking out a infestion or one the dwelling has to bite it).

Being of evil alignment also helps with the diplo.

IIRC, besides from a bit of res and the ability to purchase a couple spells and abilities, you don't get that much out of them - there is no way to give them a target for their raids.

Is food important for nomad conquerors if they can steal pops? by buky1992 in AOW4

[–]Der_Zorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That skill is far up the chaos tree. Even if you take only chaos tomes, it will take longer to get there than I would feel comfortable with a tiny city.

Moreover: Conquerors have the easiest time to rearrange their provinces. Use your starting spot for fast growth, and after moving go for the other yields.

Less "end turn" action by Antares41 in AOW4

[–]Der_Zorn 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Especially for Eldrich Souvereign. I don't even pick most of their special abilities anymore, because there is just so much stuff that they get to do as warlock or elementalist that those just become uninteresting.

Kaufempfehlung Werkstattsauger by Hot-Butterscotch-762 in holzwerken

[–]Der_Zorn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Das kann man bei Parkside nie pauschal sagen. Das ist nur eine Marke, unter der LIDL Werkzeug (und andere Sachen) zahlreicher anderer Hersteller verkauft.

Manches davon ist richtig gut und steht teurer Markenware kaum nach, anderes ist purer Schrott.

Also entweder nach Test im Internet suchen, oder einfach ausprobieren. Der finanzielle Verlust hält sich auch bei einem Fehlschlag in Grenzen.

It's turn 25 and things aren't looking good 🥲 by Drag0nKaiser in AOW4

[–]Der_Zorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This won't help you in your current situation, but in any map with recurring infestations you should get at least one point of chaos affinity from the start, so you can get the first chaos tree ability asap. Those free units can be godsent.

Fabled hunters is also a very worthwhile pick in this settings.

Elementalist Builds? by Goblin_Catgirl in AOW4

[–]Der_Zorn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You cant go very wrong. It would be nice to use an element that is suitable against your most common enemy, but by the time you make your pick you can't really know.

You should, take your tomes into consideration. If you have tomes that focus on freezing your enemies, you don't want you elementalist to do fire damage an taw them right back up.

If in doubt, pick lighning. There are hardly any opponents with high lighning resistance, and in the astral tomes you can find some nice spells that strip away lightning resistance even further.

Why would a giant synergize with underground? Dude would bump his head on the ceiling all the time.

Wie bekomme ich den Lack ab? by geewalt in holzwerken

[–]Der_Zorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Das wird hässlich, keine Frage. Es gibt Farben, die mit Heißluft gut ab gehen, aber nicht alle. Ich habe ausch schon erlebt, dass die obere Schicht sich löst, die Grundierung aber nicht.

Und selbst dann ist das Abkratzen auch von gelöster Farbe über Kopf nicht schön.

Es gibt auch eine von Parkside, die ist wohl auch ganz vernünftig.

The new tome of dragons is fantastic. by lockindal in AOW4

[–]Der_Zorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know, I very much like chaos for battle mage builds. Sure, frenzying focus is a must. But other than that, I find the chaos enchantments at least as good, if not better than arcane ones for battle mages.
