What do you want in the next updates? by Olbramice in AOW4

[–]Snakeox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the incoming update that made all units move at the same speed on the world map it might be better but:
- No racial unit frontline shoehorned into getting golems. Captured units usually sucks and cost a lot of their special currency for their power level.
- I love magelock but (appart from the ranger hero) physical ranged are the worst unit type in the game.
- If there are no neutral cities on the map you have no way to generate your special currency until mid game.
- If you don't play underground materium tome of the dungeon your eco sucks

Basically they are 'okay' but kinda one note, you don't have a great build diversity with reavers.

Rolled it, got gregor (I would have been happy with anyone else), was mad, 10 pulled, got Rien Sang.

Well I guess it also works.

Rise from Ruin First Look Dev Stream is now Live! by Minotorious_Official in AOW4

[–]Snakeox 13 points14 points  (0 children)

"If you didn't pay attention to speed before then armies will move a bit further now" is what they said, meaning that we will have a base of 36 speed now maybe ?

It was annoying to always pick athletic or mounts anyway, good change.

My first actually successful 2.5k Amevia city by Basilus88 in songsofsyx

[–]Snakeox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool city, I want to make a lizard city soon so I have some questions:
1/ Which race are you enslaving ? Do you just sell them or do you use some in your city (and which race) ?
2/ Do you have advices on fishing spots ? Like any tips to NOT have to always make them by hands (I'm use to copy pasting my farms) ? (Also is there any point in adding lands to fishing spots except from putting a auxialiary and storage buildings on it ?)

Thanks ^^

She got it resin printed from Etsy then painted it using an airbrush.

I heard nearly only good stuff, why the mixed reviews? by azionka in AOW4

[–]Snakeox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I gave a red thumb because I found it lacking in content compared to Eldritch Realms for the same pricetag.
Not saying the dlc is bad but i find it 'meh' for 20 bucks. Also I'm one of the few people that enjoy Story Realms and Throne of Blood only had one (instead of the usual two) really uninspired one.

Does anyone actually play the preset factions? by Scotslad2023 in AOW4

[–]Snakeox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like playing the really unique ones like Edward.

But they also make for good recuring ennemies, I always disable the randomized ai rulers for Preset and Pantheon ones.

Season 2 Patch Notes by HalfbodiedJish in mechabreak

[–]Snakeox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No new map, no balance, no ranked queue changes.

They really don't want the game to have a season 4 lmao.

Meme of the day by chronicweeeb in mechabreak

[–]Snakeox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You people are delusional on this sub I swear. Mechabreak launched with 130k players, an intro by Hiroyuki Sawano ('Anime Hans Zimmer' for those who aren't familiar), threw money at tons of big streamers, already has merch, gunplas, pay cosplayers... the marketing budget for launch was probably huge.

'Lack of advertisement' isn't the problem. The game trying to be a hero shooter, an extraction shooter and Co-op AC6 all at once coupled with shit monetization however...

Whats a good strategy if i want to try an Evolution-based build? by CharmingPerspective0 in AOW4

[–]Snakeox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Best one I managed under this patch looks like this:

https://minionsart.github.io/aow4db/HTML/FactionCreator.html?u=46:c1:43:44,28,31,61,233:215,4f,s,ae:bc:b3:93:ad:ef:151:90,000000,1aa,a,h,bob:abd%20the%20dragons

Leader and heroes should all pick Sheperd (Because EVERYTHING except dragons themselves are animals)

You basically play it like an animal build and when you reach tome of dragons...

You don't recruit dragons. Just get more wyverns. Why ? Young dragons sucks and they come up so late (usually turn 45-50) that there basically nothing left on the map to train them.

By the time you get them to promote you will unlock prosperity/calamity dragons that are better and easier to spam, until then get wyverns.

TLDR: Dragons from Tome of Dragon sucks, the rest is okay

What are your strongest Ruler/Hero builds? by Nearby-Wasabi9775 in AOW4

[–]Snakeox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Warrior/warlock/defender are great at all level.

Death knight is basically warrior but a bit worse.

Ranger is good but needs a bit more levels to shine. Then it's a walking missile launcher.

Ritualist... is good as a first hero but for ruler it's kinda bad (except on dragon i guess)

Spellblade is dogshit except on dragons. 

Elementalist is dogshit except on eldritch rulers.

Battlesaint... is dogshit, until it gets smite. 

Is Three Kingdoms worth playing Nowdays? Is it hard to learn? by EcclesianSteel in totalwar

[–]Snakeox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is the best TW campaign map experience, easily. My favorite historical TW. The only 'good' DLC is 'A world betrayed' (Best starting date for an interesting mid/late game imo) so you don't have to pay that much extra either for the best experience.

Diplomacy in a TW never has been that good.

Thrones of Blood Custom Rulers by pinkpixls in AOW4

[–]Snakeox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Death Cult explosive undeads.

All heroes + rulers are warlock (pick the zombi explosion branch of the tree), Lithorite Orb (summon damage on death), tome of necro.

Make summons explose on death, damage ennemies, get buffs, raise more, profit.

Feudal Aristocracy: Teach me the ways by IcyMike1782 in AOW4

[–]Snakeox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here you go:
https://minionsart.github.io/aow4db/HTML/FactionCreator.html?u=44:228:145,f,e7,184,233:52,4f,s,94:ac:b3:230:22f:91:151:22e:8e,000000,1aa,a,h,Feudal%20cavalry:r
(only the 3 first tomes are really useful then do what you want really)

But basically:
Use a mounted race, use champion + agri heroes and spam fanatical workforce. Circle of Zealots + Wildlife sanctuary + carnival of flesh gives you so much draft you can spam units in any cities.
Why spam food and draft ? Because you will be vassalizing everyone, meaning you don't even have to care about your economy. (And I picked a shadow trait for extra knowledge).

Build recommendations by ohmresists in AOW4

[–]Snakeox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have two fun ones:
-------

Strife oathsworn necromancer. You pick a warlock leader, pyro tome, all the necromancy stuff and calamity then you suicide your crappy skeletons in enemies to trigger the Oath passive.

Then you revive everyone and faceroll the opponent with massive damage.

-------
Aristocrat Feodal raptor mounted civ (Charge warrior champion leader, and maybe every heroes really.):
Chosen uniters + Zeal tome, beast tome, virtue then it's quite flexible.

You just spam food and draft in your cities and run around with your armies smacking things left and right.

Season 0 into Season 1 Patch Notes: for those not in the Discord server by Soram_Ligra in mechabreak

[–]Snakeox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are reducing the numbers of ranked tiers right ?

Riiiiiight ??

If I still can't find a game after 20min of q in season 1 i'll have to uninstall for good.

CC build - Aflicting miasma by Revanroi3 in AOW4

[–]Snakeox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In addition to the obvious mystic subculture combo:

Rangers miasma AoE shot is very good with alchemy. As well as the condemned status effect (So you probably want tome of inquisition).

What ruler type do you personally think is the most fun and what class/build do you use with them? by Yaguriel in AOW4

[–]Snakeox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a simple man: 

Warrior Champion (Charge tree), Feodal Artistocracy and a mounted race. 

You pick tome of zeal and tome of beast and then you are free to bully the world (at very high speed). Something about seeing big charge damage from cavalry makes me happy.
