I know you jest but for anyone wanting space dragons Stellaris does have them now with a DLC 😁

The fact that low foliage cover affects your dragon is hilarious. I’m just imagining some enemy standing and looking at a massive dragon then telling his boss that the bush your standing in makes it too hard to hit you.

On a side note: If you move over water on the map while playing a Dragon Lord/Dragon Units, they fly. Now, you can change the size of the wings on your dragon - and the smaller they are, the faster they flap! Or the smaller the bigger opposingly.

Potato: builds an outpost right on the border of an opponent Also potato: where did I meet this dude, where are his units, it is a mystery indeed

I was today years old and over 100 hours in AoW4 when I learned that Barbarian scouts can find outposts and cities.

I am honestly surprised PotatoMcwhiskey did not choose "this Ashen War will end by my hand alone." Especially since the devs have stated that gives a secret ending but it is an incredibly hard to get one

wait what? there's a secret ending? I chose that option and completed the realm but I don't think I got that secret ending you were talking about, can you explain more about it since I tried searching it and I can't seem to find anything talking about it

One of the cooler things about this game is just how many fantasies it lets you create. I'm already thinking of Smaug the Golden with the single-city trait for his Lonely Mountain

Awesome. That pause in AoW after the last video was just about long enough. :D

45:17 it's not a bug, you just fat fingered retry 🙃

Nice new video. A few remarks: - Are summoms really nerfed? I mean how often did they survive 3 Turns to begin with in your army? It just means focussing on non-summoned enemies is somewhat viable for the enemy. Also there might now be design space for a "banishment" type spell. - I think you need to read the magic origin text again. They don't just _count_ as magic origin - it seems like the AI is very focused on your dragon, whenever they can reach it. They do not take kills, going for a dragon in Shield Aura instead. - somehow hitting _Retry_ at 45:15 made you fight the battle ;) Truly a mystery for the ages...

I think the AI likes to focus your dragon so much is because the Dragon counts as a mythic unit as well as a hero. The AI is more likely to focus down heroes and they're also more likely to focus down mythics. Individually, the difference is usually not so massive as to cause the AI to be stupid and not finish off other units, but now that you can have a mythic hero, the AI just loses all sense of target priority and opts to always shoot the big lizard.

You have to respect Potato's work ethic that he can cram in a little AoW content on this dedicated Sid Meier's Starships channel!

I appreciate you watching the replays. It’s fun to watch your armies dominate, even if your commentating rather than directly controlling them.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who forgets to give your founding city the whispering stone in the beginning lol. New expansion looks awesome!

That ancient governor synergies nicely with feodal faction mechanic of lords. You can get 40 science just from the dragon like that pretty early. Then it can be doubled or tripled lategame with specific buildings, one is inherent to feodal, other is from 4th order book.

I think he'd get more gold/mana from always selling dead heroes from the hoard gear than he could get from prison/crypt.

I wasn't really sold on Age of Wonders before but the Dragons I can't resist Dragons man

so basically following the AoW4 lets play introducing dragons - nice to see another go at it

Wow, they put some serious thought and effort in the Dragons. Love it!

I want to immediately start playing as a mystic Blue/Silver dragonlord with tome of evolution and every other tome with evolving elementals

Hysterical. "I think i'm okay with his skills" IMMEDIATELY resets skills.

YES, MORE AOW!!!!!!!!💜💜💜

When founding a city the outpost still remains as a building giving that -10 gold for some reason. U can dismantle that by Iirc (been a while since I’ve had time to play the game) clicking on the gear icon in the city display above the building icon and going to buildings.

In WoW , ''most'' dragon suffixes are (Male/Female): Red : Strasz/Strasza , Blue : Gos/Gosa , Green : Us/Ra , Bronze : Ormu/Ormi (weird exceptions like Anachronos and Chronormu who is actually female), Black : Ion/Ian and Ia for females, plus a lot of edgy non-draconic names.

Early Potato preview for the new expansion? HELL. YES.

I have waited so long for you to cover this 🤣

aww I was excited to jump back in with dragons now, guess you have early access.

In a weird way, I feel like hero summons are better now, because the unit spawn in with full action points, meaning the AI will path toward your hero without know a t3 with drop adjacent to it with full action points leading to it making poor decisions in terms of a action point economy

Was waiting for this!

45:30 was no a bug haha watched you press retry and knew you’d react like that. Love ur vids

Little cool suggestion regarding your Dragon Lord: They are extremely strong. Even moreso, coming with the Skill Points you can place on them. You can quite literally make them a one-man Army and just annihilate most stacks. Pick Nature Dragon. As for both the Aspects (Levels 4 & 12) pick Materium & Shadow (Nature works too). And for 8/16 pick Summon Animal and/or Mass Rejuvenation. Or, if one isn't available, pick the Frostfire Detonation. As for the actual skill points themselves: Tail swipe, Scales, Comet, Tail Bash, Quickening Breath, Nature Aura Then you can focus on like more scales, Defense, etc., until you get around Mid-game / Late-game and you an reset your perks to syngergize more with the build as well as still being a One-Dragon Army. This came from Ic0n Gaming's guide for his One-Man Dragon Army haha.

... Oh boy... Tome of Evolution with Beasts is going to be absolutely broken. Spamming out spiders or wargs is gonna be scarily effective since they'll all have resurgence and as such become expendable in battles so long as you get good trades

Glad to see you still enjoying the game. I'm about 130 hours in and just kinda hit my second wind with it. Additionally, the update and dlc have me psyched. kinda wish we got more than two tomes, but I'll take what I can get.

And now much later in the video, in response to your comment on folks getting fussy about the auto-combats: I think the commentating replays is totally fine, and often I end up using the late game, and even some mid-games, as more of an autobattler that I'll only really step in if I need to.

The wait was worth it!

Yup..definitely gona Role-Playing as Nergigante,Alatreon, & Fatalis..cant wait for the updates!

Potato: I'm done playing AoW4 until some DLC drops AoW4 devs: Oh, you haven't heard?

This whispering stone staying in the bank for so long is painful :’)

The thing with the dragon is tho - he has so many abilitys that just end turns. I did a run myself - where I started underground and didn't leave untill Turn 50 or so. In the madness scenario where everyone declares war on you. I could build up my Expierence on the Dragon and he was level 13 before fighting the first Ai.

Good idea :)

So Potato is into Donkey Kong Crocs.

36:58 u can delete the outpost in city structure tab and not suffering -10 gold for upkeep

Seems to me that a better way of creating the dragon is make them smaller. Then you can perceive where they are on the map and they don’t hide other units. The size is still big and it won’t change the effectiveness.

Hi! An interesting series idea maybe would be to play through the games with default rulers. I did understand the basics of the game quite easily and learned fast thanks to your commentary! However, watching you play with the default rulers and utilizing their pre-built traits to the fullest potential would be an amazing thing to watch. It would also maybe allow u to switch ur playstyle a little bit (?) Age of Wonders 4 is my very first 4X game i decided to buy thanks to your channel and amazing commentary. Cheers mr Potato

As someone who's kinda on the edge if I should buy this game or not.. I must say that I really like that the game let's you watch auto-resolve replays and choose to fight manually if you don't like the auto-resolve outcome.

The RED dragon women are called ..strasza, as in Alexstrasza.

Enjoy the fast compromise of watching some battle replays. I enjoy the economic domination and building unit and tome combos, but I also want to see it all in action on the field.

Haha potato equipped the turn 1 murder ring on turn 20 or so.

Donkey Kong?! Now requesting you make a run as King K Rool

Hey PotatoMcwhiskey! Thank you all the funny and brutal gameplay videos. You were the main reason I bought this game. I really like AoW4. I'd like to ask if I buy the expansion pass, can i play with the dlc now? The release date for this dlc is 20/06. I'm a little confused. 😅

I still remember the day Potato said he will stop playing until new DLC come out. 1 week later Dragon Dawn come oute😂

I think the dragon should fly solo and focus on combat skills while the second hero leads the army and focuses on passive army buffs. Getting killing momentum on the dragon as soon as possible is probably good.

I feel doing combats in AoW4 is very fun, and with the auto combat it can also be very efficient. Add the fantasy/horde/etc. context and my wish list for Civ7 is almost done.

Wow

Haven't watched a Potato video in a while. I forgot that his videos need to be watched at 0.75x speed if you want to understand anything.

For Warcraft dragons, their name endings depend on sex and flight. So, strasz for males, strasza for females (red dragons). The other flights have different naming conventions (gos, gosa for male/female blue dragons respectively) For green dragons the naming convention is -us like in Eranikus from sunken temple or -ra like in Ysera. Small thing in the video to comment on, but hope this makes it more clear.

commenting the battles is fun

Oh no video games are discovering my weakness for dragons. Welp I was already thinking of getting AoW now its official.

Potato the "stras's" are from the red dragonflight 6:12, you are thinking of Ysera of the green dragonflight

It gives your units the Dragon tag, which gives them the "draconic rage" ability, giving a damage bonus when low on health.

man, rapid evolution makes auto resolve absolutely broken, it basically allows the AI to sacrifice the tier 1/tier 2 units at no cost to you.

Fun fact: 'Boszorkan' is very similar to the Hungarian word 'Boszorkány', which means 'witch'
