Age of Wonders 4 - HUGE Empires & Ashes Expansion + The Free Golem Update!

Check out Age of Wonders 4 Empires & Ashes here play.ageofwonders.com/JumboPixel | & thanks to Paradox Interactive for sponsoring this video! Welcome to AOW4s second expansion: Empires & Ashes, and the accompanying free Golem game update. In this video I'll breakdown the key features of both the Empires & Ashes DLC, and the free Golem Update. Empires and Ashes brings Avian forms and AOW4's most unique culture, the Reavers. Alongside 4 news tomes of magic, some brilliant war machines, and the Seals of Power victory mechanic, this DLC is a biggie. The Golem update brings the Item Forge, perhaps my favorite free addition to the game, alongside more interesting water gameplay and city tiles, a trait system rework, the ability to cooperate more closely with vassals and pull them into war, and more nice qualify of life improvements and UI changes. #gaming #strategy #ageofwonders4 #ad

Please do a new Beginner's Guide. I think so much has changed since the original release that we could use a new tutorial.

[@mattmooney8625]

Id watch that.

[@sinsnowthe1450]

Same

[@AAS1-kp9cs]

That would be very helpful

[@JumboPixel]

Yeah, you're right. It has changed a lot hasn't it! And looking at the replies here, that kind of video might in greater demand than I'd assume just looking at the metrics & aow4 player count.

[@Tentacl]

Playing now, the game has really evolved and this DLC is high quality and real fun - and I'm not sponsored.

[@JumboPixel]

I’d hoped my legacy of covering AOW4 updates would’ve removed some of that sponsorship doubt, but alas. Nice to hear you agree!!

[@Tentacl]

@@JumboPixel Hey man, didn't mean to attack you, I just commented right after you talked about it in the video, was just agreeying with your assessment.

[@JumboPixel]

@@Tentacl No I don't feel attacked at all! You're all good, King.

[@christopherhayes1369]

So happy with dlc and update. Being able to select AI ruler personalities is brilliant

[@JumboPixel]

I overlooked that, only briefly showing it on screen. But I agree, it's a neat touch.

[@YourLocalAlchemist7]

Tome of Alchemy is absolutely BONKERS with the Mystic Culture’s Star Blades

[@sdgamer1860]

I tried out the new trait system (made Swamp Cobramen and Swamp Gatormen out of it) and the new navel system and OMG does it work MUCH BETTER. About to try out the Reaver Culture now and so far I am loving the new DLC and Update

[@JumboPixel]

I need to dig into the navy updates a bit more. I’m a big navy gameplay fan, and I feel likes it’s often neglected in 4X games.

[@sdgamer1860]

@@JumboPixel after playing with the new navy system more unit types will dictate what type of ship you will get when the units embark. Units also still have access to their usual attacks

[@AnonymousAutumn]

Super solid update, looking forward to a playthrough from ya!

[@JumboPixel]

Might be time to fire up the old livestream (I'm out of office for the rest of this week at a family funeral of a distant relative, so I can't make any promises there!)

[@Smenkhaare]

Good Fortune... and I am hopeful for your family at large@@JumboPixel

[@lawfulgoodnun1646]

So many good changes this update. Cant wait for the next dlc too

[@JumboPixel]

It’s awesome. I’m guessing the next DLC with mirror the first one in size/ scale because of its price point, but we’ll have to wait and see.

[@aickavon]

I wonder when we’ll get a pure chaos or pure nature culture and what other hybrids we’ll get

[@FunLion]

The DLCs and updates have made the game a lot better. If they continue like this it could become one of my favourite games of all time. Any chance you upload some more AoW4 videos again?

[@MarkWilson-ij9jd]

This game is outstanding. I honestly always have a blast with it.

[@Walt80]

Haven't checked it out yet? I play on console. QUESTION: Will my old saved game still be playable if i download the new stuff?

[@Masterlove2694]

I was waiting for some cities' content.

[@JumboPixel]

I've just finished a cities video that'll go live while I'm out of office for the rest of the week :)

Has the a.I gotten better with this new update ?

[@Meinejambalaya]

am I alone having a bug that I can't get Archery II skill?

[@nightowl835]

new expac aka Angry Birds

[@JumboPixel]

lol

[@stevens9625]

The item crafting is definitely cut-content given how anemic the item range was in the base game. 'New' trait system is a total walk back to the older games now the dev realize how bad the original 4's was. Underground map generation is still a placeholder and the water tiles even less useful despite the bare minimum of points-of-interest added. Does new tome even matter with amount of mods available? For the price of a whole premium indie game, you guys are basically paying for a glorified bird and cannon cosmetic pack.

[@davequaschnick2559]

mount cost 1 point to much.

[@wrongix6544]

I love Age of wonders 4 but i really hate the theme of the new culture so im probably gonna w8 for the next dlc...

[@skissa4012]

Overprice dlc

[@andrewciliberto168]

Every update is the ultimate update lol. How much u getting paid?

[@JumboPixel]

This is the same update as the ultimate update video. Though now 4 weeks later, we have gameplay & a release so I figure it’s worth showing. To the second part, clearly not enough.

[@zasalameleuh2289]

Might we expect new affinities one day as additionnel content ?
