Eldritch Realms might be a brand new game - Age of Wonders 4
#ageofwonders #eldritchrealms #ageofwonders4
So for those of you who missed the Dev Stream (https://www.youtube.com/live/9s82f7qc..., some absolutely enormous changes look like they are coming down the pike. Some of this will be associated with the Eldritch Realms DLC, some of it will be on the free patch, but in a non-hyperbolic sense I think there's a nonzero chance that everything we know about Age of Wonders 4 is wrong and that the meta is about to flip upside down.
In this video we'll look a little bit at important things in the Dev Stream as well as loop in some of the stuff from the new dev diary (https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/.... The Dev Diary looks interesting and fun and there's definitely some stuff to look at there, but the Dev Stream was really bonkers. If you've ever had any questions about what the fundamentals of Age of Wonders 4 are like right now we'll also discuss that too as a fun preamble, but please, everyone, prepare yourselves for the game being entirely different in three weeks.
How do (or, more accurately, how *did*) you play Age of Wonders 4: (0:00)
The Rank Rework, or how Phantasm Warriors might be the best unit in the game now: (10:24)
The New Draft and Summoning Requirements, or how the Evolved Mod bled into the base game (probably for the better): (15:26)
Can we even still make Higher Tier Units in this Game? Honestly this sounds crazy: (20:52)
Eldritch Sovereign, or we might finally have a Ruler Type actually competitive with Wizard Kings: (33:55)
The Spell for People of Culture, Retaliating Growths: (41:07)
The New Mystics: (42:13)
So like, can we finally make Skeletons now without you making fun of us or what?: (59:43)
The Reavers Rework: (1:02:04)
The Dark Rework: (1:06:58)
The Umbral Layer and the rest: (1:09:19)
Oh yeah, also Primals look like they are going to be miserable on this patch: (1:22:32)
