    I don't agree with many points assigned to things in tomes but agree with many too. Overall good methodology and thank you for effort. It's good start to discussion.

    I'm not sure in a game where people regularly go hard on 1 unit type, with 1 support per stack, "niche" is a bad thing. Also, you should have waited until after the next update to to this, as the balancing to tomes it pretty substantial.

  • @RussiesStuff
    @RussiesStuff Жыл бұрын

    While Niche isn't a very bad thing, it definitely limits the versatility of the tome. Its fair to say even now that tome of artificing fits into most builds while tome of wind is only meant for specific things. If I were to compare one tome that is applicable to most builds, and another that is applicable only to 1 build type, assuming both offers similar level of benefits, it is only fair to rank the versatile tome higher. Regardless, I did scored many niche skills, that are extremely potent in their purpose, maximum amount of points (2 pts) in the video... But ultimately, assuming two spells provide very similar amount of benefit, it is only fair for the more versatile one to be scored higher, and the less applicable one to be scored lower. But ultimately, I agree with you, this game is about build synergy

    2:15 Unit upkeep cannot drop below 50%. I don't know if it's rounded up or down, but IIRC most things in AOW4 are rounded in the player's favor. Testing needed. AFAIK unit upkeep applies to enchantment upkeep as well. 3:01 I see you didn't get around to making the chart of cost of recruiting vs rally. Can't blame you, that's a lot of charting. 3:08 Vassals also contribute to the rally of lieges, and are how you get culture units of your race. Found/Migrate to a city, then release as vassal. 3:27 It took me way too long to realize how powerful outpost spam is. With perks, it's 1 turn and 38 gold to found an outpost. Assuming a gold node with an adjacent iron mine, that pays for itself within 8 turns. At max astral affinity (and teleportation tome?), you can spam +15 mana teleporters for mobility and profit. If I already have nearby teleporters, the best use of outposts is research posts built atop rare resources, and mana nodes. Ancient wonders are also incredible, but outposts can capture those with a FREE pop slot if you have the Wonder Architects culture trait - the strongest trait in the game by far IMO. (In the beta, outposts and city ruins can both be destroyed by non-hero units, which is nice as outposts/cities can't be built adjacent to eachother.) 4:35 There's a materium IV tome building that makes rushing cheaper and lets you rush draft AND buildings twice a turn. 5:16 You left out using Gold for diplomacy. The AI is usually a tad braindead in the current state of the game - even on the beta - but if the AI were scarier, bribery is often more cost effective than pyrhic victories. Also, trading with friendly AI is the ONLY reliable way to get high tier hero equipment (and get rid of useless equipment clogging up the inventory!) 7:49 Imperium: Fighting unjust wars lowers imperium income, I've seen it as bad as -80% income. It's the reason you'd need to fabricate grievances. 12:34 Food buildings are still useful early in a cities development for boosting buildings and getting to tier III quicker, but otherwise you gave all the relevant info. Once a city hit's tier V, sometimes sooner, I swap all the farms for research/gold/quarries/forests, in that order. Great guide! I have nitpicks, but most of them are due to the inherent complexity of the game + the shortness of the guide. I certainly learned quite a bit.

    Nice strategy, you can mix it with other ideas. If you pick feudal, which is then the nicest tome battlemage? I had this idea for spider or wolf mounted strat. defender (gets mount) plus knight will be a nice duo in the frontline. Glade Runner (T3 ranged) also get a mount, that's awesome! The Tome of Evocation gives the Evoker (T2 battle mage) Cryomancy has a White Witch (T2 battle mage) Any that would be nice even if not mounted? The lifesteal strat would work well with any of those units, right?

Life steal now only work with base attacks TT_TT Regardless, I personally have a preference for white mages, and I think white mage with spider for 1 aoe and 1 single target cc skill is a bit horrifying in the early game... Glade runner is one of the best ranger and tracker's mark synergize well with chaos eater if you ever decide to go with the chaos eater tome. Regardless, thanks for bringing this to my attention...

    Nice - you can also go Zephyr archers with Joy Siphoners. It's a bit easier because you don't have to build the tier 3 settlement building (which is 500G or something). If you get the revelry transformation as well then they get 20 morale (20% crit) when they land their AoE too. With the tome of enchantment, their AoE has 7 range and 8 when they hit legend. Some of the morale debuff comes from killing units which snowballs pretty hard too.

  • @RussiesStuff
    @RussiesStuff Жыл бұрын

    I must clarify that this build isn't about getting more morale, but rather about defeating units by inflicting negative morale on enemies. Morale gain is usually less important since there's a morale cap. It is easy to reach cap with normal builds in a winning fight, and it is even easier to reach cap with joy siphoner. Excess morale gain are generally wasted. Unless they add more benefits for high morale, I don't think revelry is a good tome to take just for morale unless you are really suffering super serious morale problem. I do agree that Zephyr archers is a decent idea in some aspect since they do AOE damage. However, this will come at the sacrifice of no tome of Artificing for the extra crit, which is losing a strong buff for both conventional damage and morale damage. Moreover, Zephyr also aren't a good fit for this build neither since they aren't tanky melee mounted units that can exploit the stacking double intimidation aura, which is actually very very critical for this build to work well.

    I just did an experiment to double check and here are the results: streamable.com/g5zxf8 streamable.com/dvn086 (note they expire in 3 days and if needed, I can reproduce/reupload the clips) As you can see in both cases, amplify arrow still chains damage to a secondary nearby enemy. In the first video, my archer was able to damage the main target, the ballista next to it, and another 3rd target that is a few tiles away. In the second video, even after the main target, the ballista, was killed, the animation of the archer retargeted a nearby target that amplified arrow damage was bounced to and deal the 30% damage as it was supposed to. I hope this was helpful and clarified things!

    An under-appreciated part of this build is that damage bonuses round up. This means attacks with multiple damage types can abuse the rounding more. Because arcanists do 3 damage base, across 3 damage types, they gain 3 damage (1 of each type) for *any* amount of damage increase. If you can get them above 35% bonus, they'll gain another 3, taking them to 6 bonus damage and 15 damage per swing. I like this build without tome of the horde since you only need 20% + arcane focus and seige magic already gives 10%. Just get strength training on your hero and you can skip horde. You have to go all the way to 75% (another 40% of bonuses) to get the next increase to 18 damage per swing. Yes, spawnkin and battle seeker will do this but spawnkin's downside is a huge reduction in damage - it is somewhat win more and can hurt your momentum. Just some thoughts.

  • @RussiesStuff

    I personally really like Tenacious as mind trait to deal with the damage penalty problem, especially when I have more unit figures. It makes even a 1 hp unit do half damage instead of almost nothing that it is supposed to. Though compared to the game master of magic, I find unit figures to matter less in AOW4 (most likely due to how damage is exchanged here). But honestly spamming horde is boring and Im trying to avoid it when testing new builds and looking forward for the next DLC to balance the tomes as well. I'm getting prepared to publish a more accurate tome tier list on the 20th once the new DLC comes out after some testing based on my experience on the game for the past month and half thus far. Honestly, even until now, some mechanics like morale really surprised me...
