The video was supposed to be out before the ER release, that's why Pravus is saying "3 DLC" in the beginning. Godir intervention led to a change of plans but the video is still amazing and Pravus did incredible job talking about Age of Wonders 4 development and all the other things are correct. Thanks everyone for watching! ;) All the patch notes are available on PDX Forums: forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/forums/age-of-wonders-4.1129/
@@AgeOfWondersOfficial Hopefully there will be a lot. The game is great, but there is still room to add something or to improve on stuff. Also please add in the lore texts and blurbs for units and stuff from the previous games. These added depth into the world.
This entire experience, from launch of the main game to the recent release of Eldritch Realms has been amazing, a fantastic game. I do hope that, even with this expansion pass now finished, along with the Story of Age of Wonders for now, that there will be more exciting things for this game to come. If not though, I wouldn't mind if the lessons and things that made this game so amazing were applied to say an Age of Wonders Planetfall 2, especially with the ability to create our own factions from the ground up and evolve them based on our decisions and choices. Again, thank you all for all your hard work and I look forward to the future of Age of Wonders.
You're totally right, the passion and love the developers put into this game shows so much. One can only wait to see where the story goes 😁😁 we appreciate a lot
Yeah I unorinocally need at least 3 whole season passes before I'll even consider thinking about having enough of AoW4 in my life. Can't wait for the next one to be revealed!
Age of Wonders 4 started off good(although I felt the AI was a bit lackluster at the beginning) but its become AMAZING over time. Please tell me there is more coming!
I think this game would benefit from a map/campaign creator. One of the main draws of the game in my opinion is the customization and role playing aspects, so I think a lot of people would appreciate the ability to create custom worlds/campaigns filled with quests, characters, lore and races of their own design and share with others. I feel it's a missed opportunity to not do something like this as it would massively increase replayability and allow players to share their stories. I would even be fine with it being a seperate DLC.
It's absolutely wild how much the game has improved in a year. Triumph has always known what they are doing and AoW4 has become their magnum opus for sure.
AoW4 has been a wonderful combination of many game types I like. I'm sure I speak for many when I say I really appreciate the quality of the updates/DLC, as well as the transparency and in depth looks from the devs. Keep it up guys, amazing work!
After one season, I think Age of Wonders 4 has established itself as the fantasy equivalent of Stellaris for Paradox. It's such a strong game. Very addictive and fun. And my Godir, I would let them take my money if they release the next season for pre-purchase today. I hope this game becomes as prolific and as expansive as Stellaris. May the Godirs bless our Devs.
an addition that would be nice for customization, and that would be a really minimal addition. An eyes icon to customize the eyes because some forms like humans have small eyes so the change of eye is not very visible. Even if, the eyes are literally useless because 99.999% do not see them (ironically), it remains a nice addition when you want to make a specific character.
With this many changes and mostly positive updates, it's hard to believe that game is only 1 year old. Team is hard at work and I hope they have the success they deserve with this amazing game.
finally grabbed this game on steams summer sale- big fan of 4x games like civ, endless space, etc. have been having a ton of fun allll week. great job guys, can't wait to see what more is in store!
When i started my journey with Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic, i never thought i'd get to this point, but AoW has always been my favorite Strategy game, and i am Proud to see it prosper so much. thank you Triumph for this great videogame. i have a lot of good memories with the series. i even managed to convince a friend of mine to play it and he grew to love it, despite not being the biggest fan of turn-based strategy, prefers RTS, and yet, the quality of your games were so good, he's making AoW his one exception. plus, AoW4 helped us expand our creativity and make new OCs.
Hopefuly there will be more added to the game, definitly craving for it ! The game is amazing in any level, I loved the previous ones, I can't stop playind this one
The only big things i have left to ask for you guys for is a evil chaos shadow magic culture focusing on creating cults and summoning demons and a material astral culture focused on golems, you guys make those cultures and this game will be near perfect
I've always played RTS games but giving 4x games ago. Im a casual player and Im terrible at this genre. I always get so lost but with a bit more persistent. Man this company Really knows how to keep classic games the way they should be. These games remind me of Heroes might and magic and Civ 5 and since Im giving Planetfall ago. Im actually loving these type of games. They bring those good old mechanics that work so well. Now I see dragons, Phoenix, Rats wtf this game is KILLABEAST!
This is pretty awesome. I havent played since the beginning so a new game is right. Curious how this improvements to acension and cultures, etc affect the ones already made
Seems like an obvious choice for a later dlc more focused around naval stuff (aquatic race OR culture). You start to feel it missing now with tomes that turn your people into mermaids but don't have great synergies compared to other stuff in the game.
Just wanna confirm it's a completely different game than it was 1 year ago. I played the game on release and it was unfinished. Like I could see how promising the strategy-sandbox-rpg concept is, but the gameplay itself was not there yet. So, I refunded it. HOWEVER, I re-bought it a few weeks ago and I've been clocking 40 hours per week since. Just can't stop playing! I also got all the DLC, including a preorder of Season Pass 2. The AoW4 team seems to be getting the hang of it. They're not afraid to experiment. They're not afraid to admit they ****ed up, go back and redesign stuff that isn't up to par. This is so rare nowadays! Gimme another 5 years of full-price season passes!
Are you planning some kind of alternative to global evil in the game, or at least a patch with pumping up theological cities, or at least an alternative to local hell, like a fairy-tale world, where evil will already receive a debuff every turn and will be forced to adapt or something like that sort of? this kind of thing?
I feel most 4X games only "get good" after a bunch of expansions, but AoW4 has been awesome since day 1, so to me you guys can add infinite content and things to it and I'll be happy. Gem of a game.
Are they finally gonna innovate a working multiplayer over internet without constant out of sync errors, that every other game had for the past all the time?
Can I play the game so that my enemies don't expand, but the hardest things that happen on a map are events? Like events that spawn enemies from another plane to conquer everyone, for example.
Play with Megacities map trait. It forces everyone to have a single city, so AI is less pushing. With ER DLC activate Toll of Season map trait to ALWAYS proc it, add massive underground to explore and regenerating infestations.
Disable score victory (and don't play on a Magic Seals map) and you should be able to play as long as you want, as long as you can keep the AI from reaching any victory condition.
ssooooooo. Did they improve the AI system? I am thinking to buy it but have not heard any positive remarks on the AI yet. I don't want to turtle up and play alone
I hesitate to say that Empires & Ashes was the weakest expansion out of the first year but there's so much from it that barely gets touched anymore. With me already not a fan of the seals victory, the removal of dispelling and the change of seal's enchantment always being on the side of the seal guardians just makes them a massive pain to hold. The tomes are some of the most situational in the game; I'd say Tome of the Dreadnought is the worst of it. Lastly Reavers, balance issues aside, require a certain mood to play given their aggressive play-style (AoW3 necromancer flashbacks) and I'm too much of a turtle to often be in that mood.

@@Ricksyboy1306 there will be more premium content in the future, but we are not ready to share any details yet. :)

So it was confirmed that a new season passwill be released. So the development of AoW4 continues
@@Aktuarus im so happy with that.
Hope they plan on showing the other cultures love like they did Mystics this time!! Very cool!!
I'd love an industrialist sub culture that focuses constructs like how the summoner does.
It's amazing how much has been added and enhanced in one year! Amazing job guys, I really can't wait to see what is coming next.
You're totally right, the passion and love the developers put into this game shows so much. One can only wait to see where the story goes 😁😁 we appreciate a lot
This game is incredible and the support has been phenomenal. I truly hope that we get another season of 4 DLC's, that would be amazing. Love you guys
Yeah I unorinocally need at least 3 whole season passes before I'll even consider thinking about having enough of AoW4 in my life. Can't wait for the next one to be revealed!
You and me both, brother. You and me both :-)
An ocean or underwater layer like the umbral layer would be magically amazing. That with the naval warfare rework.
Heck yeah. Make it happen, Triumph - bring me that Atlantis dream!
YES, this will make Age of Wonders 4 the best game ever
THIS is how you support a game. 🔥 Excellent work to all involved. Also really appreciate this catch-up video. Other games should take note.
Just wanna say you guys knocked it out of the park with this game, sunk many hours into it and will continue to do so!
The King of 4x fantasy games.
Definitly, it as everything the other didn't got, and much more !
Good job devs. I have the season pass and all DLCs added a ton of meaningful content.
Age of Wonders 4 started off good(although I felt the AI was a bit lackluster at the beginning) but its become AMAZING over time. Please tell me there is more coming!

It is possible to create your own Story Realms, the workshop currently has two custom campaigns on it.
Been really enjoying this. Deserves more recognition. Keep up the good work.
It's absolutely wild how much the game has improved in a year. Triumph has always known what they are doing and AoW4 has become their magnum opus for sure.
absolutely the best 4x fantasy game on the market today.
tbh. this was one of the best releases in the strategy segment the last couple of years
and i stable on my SSD
This is a GREAT video for those who haven't played since vanilla. I wish more games put out these kinds of videos.
Naval combat rework?
And Lava interactions. Adding to what you said, underwater cities and an ocean layer like the Umbral.
We appreciate all your hard work and amazing content to this already awesome game!
what an incredible year of development! great job Triumph Studios!

Wow, it's a year already😢 i still remember like it was yesterday how i waited last days before release rewatching dev streams again and again😅

So I'm assuming lots of polish and quality of life additions were made? One example was given, but I would have liked to see more.
Yep. While not mentioned here there were tons of updates between each DLC, mainly them balancing the the free updates.
Great work! thanks for all your work and improvements in the game
Hopefuly there will be more added to the game, definitly craving for it !

Hopefully down the line we get a physical copy of the game . Would definitely purchase.!

Wheres octopus race, it should be available in eldrich dlc
Seems like an obvious choice for a later dlc more focused around naval stuff (aquatic race OR culture).
You start to feel it missing now with tomes that turn your people into mermaids but don't have great synergies compared to other stuff in the game.
There are 15 possible affinity combinations and we only have 8 in game with the 4 DLC, so there is room for tomes in season 2.

I have one question, will there be a Season 2 pass?
Yes it has already been confirmed
Yes please!
I hope a underwater expansion comes and a nice ending for Merlin.

Haven’t played since release though I have expansion pass 😂 I guess it’s time to come back
Well that is the best part of having the pass 😅
I've noticed the tutorial playlist has a video that's private and unable to be watched. The 15th video seems to be affected.
The dragon dawn is my favorite dlc hands down
Nomad culture (astral + nature), frostling (nature + shadow) magic books?
Hope they plan to work on this latest dlc crashing so much while playing...
Minor transformation system overhaul (stoneskin visual remade) ?
Are they finally gonna innovate a working multiplayer over internet without constant out of sync errors, that every other game had for the past all the time?
looks great, how is the multiplayer now tho? have not touched the game since it was released pretty much, the multiplayer crashed a lot
Are there any plans to add more story quests into the game?
I love this game so much. Its like the only title in the last 10 years that isnt full of monetization or politics or some other nasty stuff.
Так хорошо поработали ✊
Unit lore stubs info?
Guys, u did well. Amazing game.
Can I play the game so that my enemies don't expand, but the hardest things that happen on a map are events? Like events that spawn enemies from another plane to conquer everyone, for example.
Play with Megacities map trait. It forces everyone to have a single city, so AI is less pushing. With ER DLC activate Toll of Season map trait to ALWAYS proc it, add massive underground to explore and regenerating infestations.
Never asked this, but is there a limit regarding rounds or can I play forever on one map, if I want to?
Disable score victory (and don't play on a Magic Seals map) and you should be able to play as long as you want, as long as you can keep the AI from reaching any victory condition.
This seems a little late? Refering to the new dlc as "in the future" when its been out
console edition is also supported with updates?
Plenty of classic fantasy creatures are still absent; we have unicorns, but where are the griffins, minotaurs, and hydra?
ssooooooo. Did they improve the AI system? I am thinking to buy it but have not heard any positive remarks on the AI yet. I don't want to turtle up and play alone
Can my units level up infinite times?
What's your favorite change to the game since launch?
Tier 1 units more durable and viable along with the new rank up system. No more useless units.
I hesitate to say that Empires & Ashes was the weakest expansion out of the first year but there's so much from it that barely gets touched anymore. With me already not a fan of the seals victory, the removal of dispelling and the change of seal's enchantment always being on the side of the seal guardians just makes them a massive pain to hold. The tomes are some of the most situational in the game; I'd say Tome of the Dreadnought is the worst of it. Lastly Reavers, balance issues aside, require a certain mood to play given their aggressive play-style (AoW3 necromancer flashbacks) and I'm too much of a turtle to often be in that mood.
Bro, why do you sound like older calmer robin😎
Wish there was a way to rp a more generic empire, I just feel you get shoe horned into playing either good/evil. Especially with the tome types
Crossplatform with friend still out of sync every turn of a game. 1 year later... waiting to play again till they fix it
Why technocrats/reavers are lacking engineers?
Well... we can have insects angels now.
Also, when penguin race ?
sad that my 4070ti still cant run it, the game is just tooo powerful.
Please support the game and give us another season pass to buy. Thanks.
PLEASE FIX MULTIPLAYER ALREADY AND IT WILL BE IDEAL
also more customisation for ruler and race appearance is required and allow getting race traits without appearance change.
W8 season pass 2
Nothing much with AI.
stop waffling and get on with it
They can add all they want, the game itself is garbage and it remains so.
