OP FEUDAL CAVALRY BUILD Guide - Age Of Wonders 4 WAYS OF WAR

[@gabep3586]

I like your build videos. Perhaps you can do short showcases of combat and how you play it. Could you make a build with Calvary shields, support, and damage? I think it’d have to be oathsworn?

Feudal is in desperate need of a rework like they did for Mystic.

Yeah, I really hope that all cultures will eventually get the "Mystic Treatment". It adds SO much into build options =)

If you do a cav build, make cav armies. With movement at least 40, dont bother with bannermen and archers or other slow units, build pikemen to turn them into mounted defenders. By the time you have knights, produce only knights, wildspeakers and other very fast units. Speed is life, you clear map faster (more resources), you can reposition to defend faster, you can run away without them having a chance of catching you. First tome evolution (to promote pikemen faster, baby wyvern and the trait), then animal friendship to get ready for tome of Vigor and the star of the show - supergrowth. Pegasi or mammoth/elephant mouths are better then wolves, they reduce unit count and with supergrowth your cav is single entity - no damage reduction for lost HP. Zeal is better than faith, If you kill faster, you dont need to heal as much and it has fanatical workforce - one of the best global spells there is, even with the nerf to 3 turns. Sort armies to movement 48/40, flying/noflying. Having 3 speed 48 flying armies on attack is amazing. Sea is not a problem, terrain is not a problem, city walls are not a problem. I found Cryomancy tome to be very useful, good unit enhancement, Ice witch to complement your 40 speed armies, Ice coffin and a research building if you need one. Prolific swarmers is a good pick, the second can be Runesmiths if you go enchantment heavy on units, you dont really need the scions of evil or other shadow affinities if you pick the Cryomancy tome to have that shadow affinity.

Well I know the path you describe (have done it in previous builds) and while I like the battle power of Evo+Zeal, the economy of Faith is really powerful. Those research bonuses on all the farms help the Feudals more than most cultures in my experience. Evolution Tomes units are cool, but it lacks economy too hard for my taste nowadays. I really feel as if it's one of the Tomes which could use a small buff to stand up to the other T1 options. I somehow feel like Evo is a bit lacking overall in comparison. I like the idea of full on fast unit stacks, thanks for promoting that one.

[@baltazarvok2564]

@@Ic0nGaming Thank you for the response. I have one point. Economy wise i found the tome of Zeal much better than Faith because of the Zealous workforce, directly transforming mana to production. having your buildings done early compounds really well and also with farms (enough food to balance the negative). Happy new year.

Any chance we could see an mystic attunement build around debuffs?

Feudal is S tier. Fight me!

[@Tuki_Bird]

Woohoo!!! Thank you

I have a build request. I want to see a build that really excells on island maps. One that uses advanced seafarers would be ideal. I know its not the best culture trait and on some maps it would be complete trash... but i love the sea guild and building cities on small islands. Theyre a blast! I would guess eventually you use tome of the stormborn and turn your dudes into naga but im not sure. I'm very interested to see your take though.

Any chance this build may be in the works? Or if not, why not?
