#ageofwonders - Hry
Hello everyone, welcome to a patch notes video! The upcoming 1.3 Mystic patch is largely related to feedback, so I thought I'd go ahead and cover it. The biggest changes are around bonuses to recruitment rank, which begin at the Highlights at 1:30. The following bits are a lot of miscellaneous (and incredibly specific) changes to a wide range of categories at 8:33 and then fixes starting at 12:44. All-in-all, I think this is a good patch, and you can find my final thoughts starting at 17:23 after some brief confusion. I think the biggest change and thing I'll be keeping my eye on in the next Shek'zeer episode is the change to the Pyreshrine, but feel free to let me know what you think -- thanks for watching!
Thanks for cover this, brother
I’m hoping we get proper confirmation of more DLC (even though the Devs said they’re “not allowed to call it DLC” lol)
@@Jabberwokee Thanks for watching! There are no details about future content, but we do have it in writing that more is on the way from the anniversary post a few months back: store.steampowered.com/news/app/1669000/view/4208127528886961513?l=english
8:45 Mystic-Attunement could just cast a strategic damage spell over and over again using astral echoes to kill entire armies without much trouble. Now, its a little less absurd.
A good change!
I'm guessing the Pyreshrine change is for empires coming into the Tome of the Cleansing Flame from the chaos side and don't have zeal or faithful to protect them from the cleansing flame hazards that the tome revolves around. The "balance" being that it'll only give faithful to units produced in the city with the shrine while everything else will still be affected... Also mid-late game chaos is pretty summon heavy and city structures don't affect summoned units unless specified.
Hmm, that's pretty reasonable!
I had Pantheon Ruler joining at the end of the run, when I was neat enemy Capital getting research, to add transformations and to get Ascension Trait that I wanted. Was happy to see a familiar face, but, sadly she didn't reach to the battle, my Big Dwarven Lady with a Heavy Charge Hammer bonked the Enemy.
The mutual exclusivity makes sense to me. The Keepers of Knowledge are ment to be good boys. It was the developer's answer to the Shadow Affinity always ending up as bad boys.
Great video! Just a note, Frostling Transformation is a Minor Transformation, so it does indeed stack with Gloom Strider Transformation! :)
"The two major subjects we’re looking at are the recent Rank Updates and the Eldritch Sovereigns. The update today includes several changes to City Structures & Society Traits to address the speed at which High Rank Units can be obtained. For Eldritch Sovereigns we have identified some areas where things should be tweaked, but we welcome you to let us know what your pain points are."
=> it says at the top of the patch's page that sovereign will get in beta later
+2 ranks for constructs combined with other ranks buff = does it affect bronze golem to level them faster ? or even iron golem ?
perfectionnist artisan is my main trait, i put it in all my civs, so im fairly happy ^^
I guess that last sentence carried a lot more meaning than I gave it, thanks for clearing up the confusion. 😅
I imagine that the +2 ranks to Construct would affect any Construct that's built in a City with that Special Province Improvement.
@@Fableheim sounds good for iron / bronze golems ^^
oh and it affects ravager's cannons and scouts (and ironclad ^^)
could be damn fun
@@adrienwarad The next Reaver run is gonna be spicy!
11:00 I vagiely remember that you could have dragon lord heroes in your armies so that must for ES as well
Most of these changes seem good! I'm a bit iffy on the locking out of having certain traits together.
The Scions of Good trait giving GOLD now feels a bit weird too.
I mean, the actually UNLOCKED way more societal trait combinations that they LOCKED, and the ones they locked seem to be primarily because the mechanics are diametrically opposed
As someone else commented, most of the changes were removing exclusivity, but they did add a few new ones. I honestly think there should be no exclusivity and give players free reign, but it makes sense to restrict things that mechanically conflict with each other I suppose.
Devotees of Good giving gold is definitely odd, but I guess it's now in line with Scions of Evil giving Draft?
With the Ascended warriors spell you can get adult dragons quick
Ascended Warriors has always been pretty strong! I think I only really made use of it in one playthrough though. 😅
@@Fableheim In one of my playthroughs as Fedual Dragon Knights as i called it, once i got the Exalted Tome after Dragons Tome OMG! In just a few turns during the late game, i had 2 adult dragons. Combined with at least 4 fully built up cities and a bunch of vassals (one being a dragon lord i subjugated) with the Chosen Uniters trait.............. yeah I could afford at least 3 adult dragons which is Insane
8:40 It is one of my suggestion, currently you can cast spells limitless like lighting torrent to wipe any stack with enough mana and astral echoes as Attunement Mystic, so my suggestion was to limit that per spell and per turn, to be able hurry spell once per turn, so you can hurry another spell, but not the same like spamming lightning torrent to wipe whole stacks
Ahhh, this was a good change then!
hey. do you have a playthrough on story realm 5? couldn`t find it. tried this one multiple times on hard and this is pure madness. your competitor has a bunch of cities and all tech is unlocked from turn one.
No, I haven't made any story realm content because I prefer sandbox. I'm open to the idea though since I love achievements.
Bone Dragons and Reapers are Magic Origin, so Mystic Summoner now can be great Necromancers. GOOD😈
I didn't even think of that when I read it, a good change!
Tbh Scions of Evil are nerfed too harshly, they should work similar like Devotees of Good:
No longer grants +1 Rank to racial Shock and Shield units. Now grants +1 Rank to all units while at max evil alignment.
Furthermore Pyreshrine is too OP now, it bypasses Angelize and all mechanics around Rally of Lieges and gaining faithful units, it should be removed, Faithful to everything produces is too OP.
Does seems a little excessive but I haven’t tried it yet
@@Jabberwokee In connection with Cleansing Flames and also other Order stuff it is strong.
But to be fair for scrions of evil, being evil is easier than good so the +1 rank is probably too strong.
I definitely think Scions of Evil should've gotten something to replace what was yoinked but I don't think it was nerfed too bad. Honestly, the bonus Imperium alone makes it a decent Society Trait. XD
I think Pyreshrine's going to be nutty and I'll be playing *very* close attention to it next Shek'zeer episode!
@@Fableheim That's true, it is still ok, but still feel it like a theft ;)
Pyreshrine will be nuts, basically all units will be immune to cleansing flames just because you built it, seems too strong to me.
My Smith's Guild!? My Fabled Hunters!?
What do they have against low-tier Units being given more Ranks as the game proceeds? That kept low-tier Units more relevant instead of just falling off as higher tiers are unlocked.
I know this isn't the case, but it feels like a direct nerf targeted at me; I hear my Sunderers weeping already.
I don't suppose it's possible to just... stop my game from updating?
My guess is that they don't want people recruiting units right at Legend rank, which I can kind of understand.
As for your last question, this change is currently only on the opt-in beta, so I'd try to enjoy your endless Sunderer legion until it goes live. Because the game has its own launcher, I'm not sure if it's possible to just turn-off auto updater and launch from its .exe file. 🤔
@@Fableheim I'm honestly failing to understand how printing Max Rank *Tier 1* Units is at all more unbalanced than casting Pall of Gloom on enemy territory such that they wither away in their own cities while said cities are besieged. For that matter, PotatoMcWhiskey demonstrated the frankly unfathomable power of recruiting 5 Umbral Tyrants led by a Support Hero. So. Many. Spitterlings.
Obviously I don't have expect you to have all the answers, but this really feels like a knee-jerk reaction with less-than-ideal focus. I can kind of understand why we shouldn't be able to print Legend Tier 2s, but was anyone *really* feeling all that threatened by Chaff Force?
@@sonadowfiend After playing on the beta, I think that the recruitment nerf was a little heavy handed as well. I was kind of expecting T1s to come in at Champion (right below Legend) for their second badge, but they come in at Elite with Smithing Guild. I did appreciate T3s getting +1 Rank, but that was something they already had in this run from the Pyreshrine and Fabled Hunters.
I suspect the exact bonuses will be tweaked before this goes live, but Smithing Guild will probably go back to never being picked for me if this goes live unchanged.
Ok, enough is enough. AoW4 devs are like bloody seagulls, but instead of *sqwk* they just come to meetings and go Nerf Nerf Nerf Nerf Nerf until everyone ears bleed! And then they listen to some whiny tryhards and go Nerf ritual all over again. It's only thing you ever see in patch notes - unless it's some annoying shit like lightfish, so it can be more annoying.
Seriously, fun police is crazy in this industry, but Triumph is just taking "can't have good toys" to another level. Screw them and this game (
