The Bell Of Doom Tolls For Grand Empress Shek'zeer! | Age Of Wonders 4 - Episode 2

[@Fableheim]

Hello everyone and welcome back to Age of Wonders 4! Shek'zeer continues to expand the Mantid's dominance across Pandaria, and Varian is only the first of many to try to put her in her place at 13:10. With the Fey themselves knocking on Kor'vess at 51:37, it was a pleasant surprise when the final Godir found at 1:14:52 turned out to be friendly; after all, the Mantid can appreciate the bloodlust of another who has absorbed one of the Prime Sha. Against half the world, the Underking stood by my side at 1:27:12 proving that maybe, just maybe, not all Blints are bad. Next time, *both* of the new tier 3 Tomes shall be unleashed -- thanks for watching! It seems that the Empress' defiance of lore has destabilized not only her reality but the Astral Sea itself! The developers are aware and working on a fix for the crashing, soft-locking, or otherwise terrible performance; in the mean time, you can learn more about and join the Open Beta (only on Steam) here: steamcommunity.com/app/1669000/discussions/2/4348870001150859647/

All of these series are leading to the ultimate showdown: the Blint Battle Royale. One Blint to rule them all.

[@Fableheim]

Only one Blint Culture remains!

50:30 "Autoresolve is a pathway to many abilities some would consider to be unnatural."

[@Fableheim]

Is it possible to learn this power?

@@Fableheim Not from a Manual Battle.

[@Erligan]

Hero skill, that gives all ranged units Mark is from High Culture Tome, all Culture Tomes give 3 skills.

[@Fableheim]

That's both a pretty good skill and not one I'd expect the High Culture to have. 🤔

1:14:10 The red sun background is in a city which is on umbral abyss terrain, I love it tho ;)

[@Fableheim]

Ohhhh, thanks for clarifying that confusion! I thought it only appeared for those with Umbral Flesh. 😅

[@scanix100]

@@Fableheim No it is the terrain under city, every city background is governed by it, so if you terraform it, it will change the background.

I Loved the Klaxxi when I first played MoP. This is a really cool concept for a playthrough :D

[@Fableheim]

I was all about the Amber Scorpion mount, screw flying.

[@iptf]

Why is it that if you click on "tell me of this threat" you do not, in fact, get any additional information about the threat?

[@Fableheim]

I've always clicked that response but I think it's what gives you a timer? I'm not sure tbh

[@TiredMoonWitchTrit]

Best series ever second being The Goat and third being Jaina

[@belmoethegamer]

When does Fableheim usually upload? I find myself refreshing KZbin everynight just for a continuation of this series

[@Fableheim]

Unfortunately, the schedule lately has been "as life permits", but I'm trying to get back in to daily uploads!

[@AngryGerbils]

I know the Unmaker is technically a Blint, but it's really not the same without that derpy mole face. I mean, look at the little guy.

[@Fableheim]

Lmao, I might make a poll to determine if the Unmaker counts. XD

[@AngryGerbils]

@@Fableheim Blint with soulless mole eyes and tentacles would be Bloodborne levels of creepy, to be fair.

[@Zathurious]

It's too bad Blizzard didn't have the balls to let Jaina's plan succeed. It would've been the perfect chance to replace the long standing Alliance/Hoard dynamic. There would've been so many possibilities. Instead, we just got more of the same.

[@Fableheim]

"It's too bad Blizzard didn't have the balls..." could be applied to so much of WoW. XD

[@syrathegreat]

Btw the Dark Iron capital in WoW is Shadowforge City so Darkforge isn't actually too far off

[@sonadowfiend]

Toll of Seasons in my game (first game since Dragons first came out) was a complete non-issue. First it spawned in the lands of someone I was at war with, then it moved to my Ally's capital city. My Ally then, for reasons I cannot discern, just kept pursuing my wars and my bounties rather than ever defending his capital, which dwindled from 20 to 1 Population by the time I finished killing all non-allied opponents. It was honestly weird to see the AI just allow its *capital city* to wither away and perpetually lie besieged.

[@Fableheim]

If the Toll of Seasons goes after the AI, I think they just kill the Scourge and move on, so it will always reappear somewhere else. As for your Ally, that might have been an unintended consequence with Bounties. If an AI accepts a Bounty, they tend to put their whole being in to accomplishing it, but I've never seen one abandon its Capital to do so. 😅

[@sonadowfiend]

@@Fableheim I almost felt bad, but it was decidedly not my problem and I had an abundance of Mana to throw at Bounties.

[@seltin1988]

thats have always been a high culture skill i think, or a sun prist...

[@Fableheim]

If you're referring to Awakening, the Sun Priests used to have a single-target Awaken skill, and the T3 Awakeners had the Double Awakening. I think around the time of Empires & Ashes they swapped them around and gave Heroes Double Awakening for their Support Skill. It was a good change. 😊

[@benweth]

Is there a trick to reading the Eldritch language haha or are you making it up when you read it? Great series!

[@Fableheim]

I am completely making it up as I go along. XD

[@Erligan]

​@@Fableheimso yes there is a way to read Eldritch Texts and yes you are making shit up.

[@Fableheim]

@@Erligan Precisely!

[@SoulRuninFree]

Actually I have an interesting question what are your favorite affinities to mix together both for gameplay and lore.

[@Fableheim]

Hmm, that's a good question. For gameplay, it's pretty much Anything + Materium, since Materium has so many great economy-related traits. My lore choices change entirely based on what I'm playing, but Astral + Shadow is always a fun evil Archmage aesthetic.

[@SoulRuninFree]

@@Fableheim for me it’s Nature and Matierium for lore and a obvious reason. For gameplay I’d have to go Nature and Astral just because the kind of fey gameplay you can do.
