honestly at this point Cthulhu could have my vote. Either im devoured by the sea or he’s an competent leader. I’ll take my chances

[@casanovafiems1508]

It wouldn’t be an, an is proceeded by a vowel, competent doesn’t start with a vowel so it would be “a competent leader”

[@ryanwheeler783]

He meant an incompetent leader, but forgot the in. His message is basically "dammed if I do, dammed if I don't"

I like that you power spells by stealing your enemies souls, get food by eating your enemies' flesh, and then use necromancy to reanimate their bones as mindless servants. You're like those indigenous tribes that had a use for every part of the buffalo, except with sentient beings.

[@dicerson9976]

Undead Penguins being "true Evil" is the single best thing in a 4x I've ever seen.

[@HowardsCat]

The penguins are probably a reference to At the mountains of madness by H.P. Lovecraft. The characters encounter giant albino penguins in that story.

[@timecrystal5thapostleof125]

The evil dire penguin thing was a meme in aow for a very long time and it probs came from its death animation that looked like it was possessed or something. Direcasters, umbral penguins, are inspired by that book however.

[@takloy9664]

​@@timecrystal5thapostleof125I thought it was a reference to gunter from adventure time who is described as pure evil.

[@user-qq9xu9le5u]

[@stevencolor3389]

I have only played Age of wonders 3 but it was pretty fun, looks like they changed the mechanics as in AOW 3 if I recall correctly you were guaranteed to hit but for a range of damage based on different factors, meaning you can plan off the damage numbers. In that one you could choose a race and a faction/focus, my favorite being dreadnaught which is machine focused. They have land battleships called juggernauts that are terrorizing, a mortar and broadside making quick work of most ground units. The riflemen have no penalties for movement but instead must spend every other turn's action loading One of my favorite units being the spy drone, a spell that makes a spy drone on the campaign map, these are flying making great scouting units which helps find things quickly as you start with the spell but since you can spawn them beside cities and armies you can reinforce armies before fighting. The drone's flying lets it get close to enemy units quickly and when it dies it self destructs, doing 10 physical and 10 fire damage to all nearby units which is quite significant to most units.
