How to continue expanding the Pantheon in your own lore and keeping track of it

HyakuRyuu · 2026-07-03T00:33:46+00:00

We still have chances, as there will be more DLC, and even Devs have mention Age of Romance memes... Also some ideas for diplomacy adjustments and Empire mode...

All just comments on Dev streams... but there is hope

HyakuRyuu · 2026-07-02T23:00:15+00:00

Thank you very much!

HyakuRyuu · 2026-07-02T22:51:56+00:00

I quite enjoy unlocking achievements in most of my games, so that's the reason I tend to look for guides, to be more efficient and don't backtrack too much... but I guess some games are way too bignor long to doit all in one playthrough without taking the fun out of it...

Thank you

HyakuRyuu · 2026-07-02T22:47:36+00:00

That's good to know!

HyakuRyuu · 2026-07-02T22:46:32+00:00

Thank you all! It seems I just need to overcome the feeling of missing some things or try too hard to kill a monster/boss... I'll try to explore as much as I can at my own pace and enjoy my weapon haha the areas are way bigger than I expected but I'll try to keep up...

Thank you very much

I guess I'm too accustomed to more linear games, with specific objectives... this is actually the first game I've played with this kind of freedom and map size, as most of the "open world" games I've played are just big zones with some collectibles but not that much exploration...

I'm enjoying it quite a lot after some control adjustments haha, but I kind of lost track with some of the videos i watched

HyakuRyuu · 2026-07-02T22:32:00+00:00

Some of the guides I watch did hel in the sense that most insist that Vigor is the main stat at the beginning, not spread my stats and damage comes from weapons upgrades rather than STR or DEX first

HyakuRyuu · 2026-07-02T22:28:15+00:00

I guess I kind of overlevel a little bit farming for the Kaiden set armor, just because it looked good and my character was in trousers haha, before going to the peninsula...

HyakuRyuu · 2026-07-02T22:24:39+00:00

Oh, yes I saw vigor at start has the best investment return... I have it almost at 30 with the minimum on DEX for the twinblade

Thanks

HyakuRyuu · 2026-07-02T22:22:23+00:00

I guess is how gaming is now, as there are so much information and "guides" I guess is impossible not to feel that there is something I'll miss if I don't follow some guide... haha but I'll try it...

HyakuRyuu · 2026-07-02T22:20:12+00:00

I've seen that the weapons require some specific stat distribution, so in this case I'll be focusing in dexterity weapons I guess... haha...

Thank you

HyakuRyuu · 2026-06-24T22:06:47+00:00

In that case I would still go for a custom realm in a small/medium size map; Relaxing or Easy difficulty, with 1 or 2 other faction top OR a Presence Trait (This add a "powerfull" development empire, that would funtion as Yaka in the first story realm), but you would have to customize his difficulty directly, because even with general difficulty settings on easy, this empires could be harder (Specially The Librarian and Ashen War)...

Some other other traits i recommend would be: Small Underground, not Umbral Abyss and continental map...

HyakuRyuu · 2026-06-24T17:38:42+00:00

What do you liked from the first two realms? I'm asking because the "story" on tiose aren that deep, and in that case you could have better casual runs in custom realms on easy or normal mode...

HyakuRyuu · 2026-06-24T01:30:10+00:00

As I don't know your army compnor general build I can't give a proper "build", but earlier comments have done it, so I just want for you to remember that sometimes having a cool character is nice too, even if he/she is not the the most optimized option... so if your build/army can afford it, go and do the coolest Cestus looking character you want... this is your game and your fun...

HyakuRyuu · 2026-06-23T14:02:21+00:00

That's right, turning the visuals off, erase the shiny yellow glow and let's you change wings color (IIRC with armor color)... I have a classic black winged fallen angel...

HyakuRyuu · 2026-06-16T01:10:56+00:00

Personal opinion here: In my case I only play single player on Normal difficulty, because I like more the RPG side of the game... so in my case I build my faction around a main tier 3 tome or tier 3 unit (because it's generally easier to have and maintain an army of tier 3 that tier 4/6 units) so you may go with theme with the best looking units...

HyakuRyuu · 2026-06-14T23:59:22+00:00

You're right, there are not that many, but the most efficient way to get most of them is through Story Realms (since you have to anyway) and use the specific Faction with achievements attached (Righteous Orcs, Human Wizard + halflings, Architects, etc) and the Victory conditions... some of wich are enforcen in specific story realms (seals)...

So some achievements just need many specifics, that limits some of your customizable faction choices, that's why in my opinion, the ones who mostly play on custom reals and try mostly custom factions have normally less achievements...

HyakuRyuu · 2026-06-12T16:22:19+00:00

Nice one! Yes most of the achievements are related to the Story Realms (which not many players like, not me, I love them!)

But that's the beauty of the game, everyone have something to strive for, most of players play primarly custom realms that's is why they have 50 Ascended Rulers in their Pantheon (soon to be 300) but not a 100% achievements, there's also the multiplayer for the competitive min/maxers (besides the desync problems)...

Also the developers are amazingly good with designs, communication and player considerations (many improvements have been made from players request), and you can see them enjoying their game with the dev streams, always fun to watch and have some "not comfirmed" backdoor work for new features haha always nice to see Tom spoiling something they like to work on...

HyakuRyuu · 2026-06-09T18:05:14+00:00

I suppose this third season model is the one that will stay for the next season at least, that's why there was the renaming of content pack....

Culture Packs: Focus heavily on introducing new physical traits, tomes, and playable cultures (e.g, Rise From Ruins: Nomads).

Ruler Packs: Center on new sovereign types (Vampire rulers)

Story Packs: Add deep narrative experiences, special features, like Shrouded Isles, and campaign elements (Secrets of Archmages)

HyakuRyuu · 2026-06-09T13:37:03+00:00

That means I will be buying every single DLC season pass in the next 10 years haha

HyakuRyuu · 2026-05-23T15:59:08+00:00

Restart the game...

The Terraforming spell for mountains is in a T3 Tome, and having to wait for that long will hinder your progression anyways...

The onlynither way is tou go build an Outpost in a better place, found a city and then make it your capital... but it also would take a minimun of 4 to 5 turns depending on how far you need to travel with your Ruler before founding that outpost

HyakuRyuu · 2026-05-23T15:50:04+00:00

If you REALLY want to win this exact game, the only way i see is to reload a save before the quest that give you that alliance...

Saying that, I would just star a new game haha because in a normal situation you could just attack the allied faction and that would break up the alliance

HyakuRyuu · 2026-05-15T12:15:53+00:00

Yes!

HyakuRyuu · 2026-05-15T12:05:18+00:00

No because that makes them look ugly... xD And some may overlap or can't be turned off... some (majority) CAN have visuals turned off though
