[@Zathurious]

I was wondering about spell book tier progression. This video answered most of my questions. As ever, thank you for the tutorial.

[@ManuelCarlone-jv2lo]

I don't know about mix matching. It seems like going for a mono-affinity build makes it stronger. I may be wrong of course. But why should I unlock the souls tomes and then not going for better tier undeads? Or the opposite: why should I unlock the souls tome, if I can get higher tier undead later regardless? Maybe I just misunderstood how tomes/affinities work.

[@L4sz10]

Higher tier tomes require certain amount of affinity, and the easiest way for it is to unlock a lower tier tome that provides that affinity. Also, tomes provide more than just units and spells. It can provide unique buildings, provinces, the affinities translate into resources, narrative events, and empire perks.

[@paulthompson5761]

This looks very cool. I was already thinking of making a feudal or barbarian goblins of the hoard faction. I will definitely want to try out your suggestion of pairing them with the tome of beasts. I am also already thinking of other tome combinations such as shadow+astral or order+materium. I am sure we will have lots of fun trying out the different combinations.

Dear age of Wonders, Is there a cinematic mode for the units during combat? Like xcom, just out of curiosity

[@samosierra]

Is there a limit how many tomes you can research? E.g. if I focus strongly on research from the start can I research more tomes in total through out the game or will I hit a cap earlier and all my research point go to waste for the rest of the game?

[@xShadowbane451]

Not sure if it has a "limit" don't think they ever mention that. But I think they said 9 is the average you'll get. If your 10th tome is your T5 one, it mentioned in the video it has a victory condition spell in it. So getting T5 and casting it would set a win condition if you have that one on, if not then yeah you could keep going I'm guessing.

[@canineshark1767]

Unless my brain is imagining it they said their technically is no limit, but remember the more you go after the longer you're game will go, and even the AI will likely meet one of the win conditions before you finish all of them.

[@abellinns4013]

There isn't a limit you can research all tomes if somehow you got the time to do so.

[@janstraka8674]

Please, tell me there is a high level Fire themed tome that allows me to summon Phoenixes.

[@glomibabel1894]

hello can you show us gameplay with low graphic options and resolution?

[@MrKenjitsu]

Is there a limit to the number of tomes you can pick up during a game? I have heard, but not confirmed, that you can only have 9. In the custom build that was listed in the video, it seemed to support that (2 T1 + 2 T2 + 2 T3 + 2 T4 + 1 T5). I have also heard, but not confirmed that you can only have 1 T5 tome, which makes sense if you can only have 9 tomes total. I assume that you can take more than 2 T1 tomes, but doing so would prevent you from getting a T5 tome. Anyway, just trying to verify how many tomes can be picked up during a game. Thanks.

[@L4sz10]

You can unlock any number if tomes from T1 to T4, only that you have to have at least 2 tomes unlocked in the tier below. The T5 tomes are mutually exclusive, so you can only have one. 9 is an average number if tomes in a map acvording to devs, it can be more or less, but soober or later the AI tries to trigger winning conditions, and will win the game if you won't. But it probably depends on many things.

[@Gabriel_Taler]

what i am wondering (and probably missed in the video) is there a limited how many tomes you can have or can you get all the tomes if you play one session really really really long?

[@L4sz10]

Technically you could unlock 49 out of 54 (because the last 5 are mutually exclusive). However, if I recall correctly, devs said that the average is around 10 or 9, because the AI triggers a winning condition sooner or later (if you don't).

[@Gabriel_Taler]

@@L4sz10 okay cool thanks

[@trashl0rd]

For as much as I love HoMM3 (still the GOAT of this genre), it's a series that has been very inconsistent. The AoW series, however, has been solid from the first game onwards, and this one looks to be continuing that tradition.

[@samosierra]

Do combat spell points are per turn or replenish every combat?

[@prinstyrio0]

I'd assume per turn like previous games. So if you plan to do more than 1 battle in a single turn you may wanna save some combat casting points for future battles! That also goes for if you get attacked in another player's turn before the turn order resets.

[@oleganikin3791]

Would be cool if there was spell, that sacrifices your unit to summon something powerful.

[@zombos22222]

in age of wonders planetfall is a spell to sacrifice a own unit for summoning a big demon, for this follow the chaos/demonic tome part in aow4 is the best to do i think

[@SchapieNL]

I dont know if you guys will read this but lets try anyway. So did I miss info about the underground map or has there not been a video yet? I am referring to underground factions. Are there 2 maps both the overworld and under? Does a faction that lives underground also show up on the overworld? Or only if they move units above? How does one destroy a faction that is hiding undergrond as an overworld faction? etc. I would love some more info on this. Also I saw that horse colors were different mounts, can we have it so that there is simply a color slider on mount options? It makes it easier and leaves more space for actual different mounts. With that being said since there will likely be new races later on, what about treekin/treeants and trolls?

[@Doombot221]

Is there any note on how many tomes you can get in a single game? Doesn't seem clear if there is one and have heard contradictory things

The devs say the average is nine. Theoretically you could unlock 51 of 56 (the top 6 are mutually exclusive), but sooner or later the AI triggers a victory condition way before (if you don't).

[@Doombot221]

@L4sz10 ah ok, one said it was capped, but saying you're more likely to hit 9 by the time things end makes sense

[@canineshark1767]

Well remember you have to get to those tomes first and depending on the combinations you go for those lesser spirits might have evolved already, and you don't have to take those tomes with the evolved version and could choose different tomes if you already have the lesser ones.

[@deverashb.4875]

Probably higher in both mana and casting points too. And late game it might not be reasonable to expect people to be able to evolve lesser spirits once most of the npcs are gone

[@alpturan7897]

It's also a matter of resource management, I think. You might choose to summon the lesser versions for less mana, and evolve them over time, so as to save mana for some other spell. Depends on what you need at the moment: do I need a powerful summon now - or will a lesser version be enough for now, with mana left over for something else?

you can research all spells in a tome, but you always presented 3 random research options at one time from the tomes you have already unlocked (and the culture you have). So you get 3 random options, you research one, then you get 3 random other, you research one etc. Imagine as drawing 3 cards from a deck each time, and when you unlock a new tome, you shuffle those new cards to the deck.

1:27 We see a list of units for production. I am disappointed with the production concept: gold and production time are important factors for choosing a production in a turn-based strategy game. But if I can only build one unit per turn per city, I should always take the highest level, because a higher level beats the low ones. It would be different if the concept from Endless Legend was used, where several units can be built per turn. Three L1s or one L3 is a choice, one L1 or one L3 is not. Why is the game using the concept of Empire (1977) and not a modern concept of Endless Legend (2014)?

So e.g. a unit costs 20 draft and you produce 10 draft/turn, it will take 2 turns, 20 draft/turn it would take 1 turn, and 40 draft/turn you can create 2 in one turn. The draft required for a unit may vary.

[@L4sz10]

​@@vicwaberub5297 "draft" is an abstract resource similar to "production", while the latter is for buildings, draft is for units. You can see it on the mentioned screen, the Zephyr Archer requires 220 Draft, and the city Mountward provides 221 Draft per turn. That is why it is finished in one turn. Should the city generate less draft, the unit creation time would probably seem more differentiated. But the core mechanism of Barbarian culture and Chaos Affinity is generating draft at a higher rate, so they can recruit units pretty quickly.
