      Not sure if it's been fixed yet, but if you swap provinces back and forth between adjacent cities, that counts (or counted) as annexing a province, so you could swap a half dozen tiles and bam. free army.

    • @Azari4779
      @Azari4779 Год назад +1

      Transmute Resources build is even more busted.
      Basically what you need to do is make all of your cities 100% focus on mana generation and as soon as you can get to that spell you can turn all that mana income into ~300 production, food, gold and draft income.
      btw, the Transmute Resources spell descryption is actually wrong. instead of transmuting 75% of your mana to production, food and gold. it transmute 90% and also give you draft.
      and if the fact that you get 1 of each of those resources for each 1 point of mana spent it also multiplies twice with city stability bonus, so if you get Blessing of Paradise from Tome of Paradise, that 30% bonus will first give you 30% more mana which will be transmuted to more resources, which later will be again increased by another 30%, giving you total of +69% resources from transmutation, you can hit ~700 income of all resources with that.
      And if all that wasn't enough, the Transmute Resources spell only cost you 100 mana to cast, has no upkeep aside from the mana used on transmutation, and you can turn it off any time you want if you run out of mana, or want to switch around which city is benefiting from transmutation and which is generating more mana.

    I just wiped out 8 AI's on brutal difficulty on turn 148 with nothing but tier 1 barbarian units. Furthermore, I created all of these units with golden horde. I just sent 4 heroes gallivanting across the world, spawning stacks of tier 1 "trash units" that absolutely murdered armies of angels and undead hordes. I watched in horror as my strategy of simply casting the tier 1 horde buff spell over and over again, until the strange menagerie of mythic tier godspawn monsters got close enough to attack then i hit autobattle. Simply standing there, until the enemy got close enough to attack gave me enough time to buff 2/4 times with overcharge, and +20/40 percent damage on top of everything else just made this composition slap so hard. I was winning battle 2500 vs 4000 and only loosing a couple troops. just keep stacking enchants and race modifications and the tier 1 spam scales easier than trying to make advanced units. And Golden Horde is the best goddamn spell in the game if you are scaling tier 1 units. That spell is totally broken you can just summon your whole army.

    Also tremour ritual is very good for sieges, it does damage to everything and speeds up the siege progess rather alot, at a cost of 1 siege project slot.

  • @vilemzadrobilek583
    @vilemzadrobilek583 Год назад

    I gotta say that i dont agree with your opinion about Vine Prison at all, considering the nerf to three vines from five.
    You keep acting like its godsend spell and dont get me wrong, it is good spell. However you are also facing dumb AI that is severely outclassed by your tempo and that does NOT utilize combat magic almost at all, nor does it buff its units really well either.
    There is crapton of "activate on kill" buffs, abilities etc. in game. Vines are literally free kill and free activation. There is also crapton of AoE combat spells that can clear out the vines without any problem. Not to mention that vines spawn in very large area and you dont get to choose where exactly. It is NOT hard to kill just one or two and move away because they spawned stupidly. And once again, the spell isnt that cheap either and by you casting that spell it means you arent casting other spells, be them damage or summons or buffs.
    So the spell itself is more than fine. Stupid AI that just HAS TO kill every single vine with basic attacks is the problem. And if they nerf Vine Prison due to stupid AI, its gonna be both sad and retarded. But hey, its Paradox... chances are high they will do just that instead of teaching AI to not destroy every vine it sees.

    Finished my elven druid run, won a score victory because I basically ran out of time. But I learned a lot from it, and seriously, Blint is the GOAT.
    Finished a fast Human barbarian 4-player run. It was fast because I got stuck in a war with a ratling tribe who started under me, which I won. During the war with the ratlings I got allied to another tribe, who dragged me into another war not long after I was done with the rats. And during that I realized their main city was basically straight south of my lands across some water. And well, pretty much all of their troops were off fighting my ally, so I took out their head city, which caused them to panic and basically spent all their time to return to their lands, and then I learned an interesting game mechanic. You do not automatically lose the game when your capital is taken. You don't even lose if all your cities are taken. As long as your leader lives, you have not lost. Of course, their little 10 unit army had zero chance against my 24 unit army. So, fun. Took me like 2 and a half hours from start to finish.

      I mean, imagine if someone invaded your country, rounded up everyone who was a citizen of that country, and told them to leave the country or die (or just flat out killed all of them, depending - it's ambiguous on purpose because any given faction could do one or the other) so that they could move in their own people. It's about as evil as you can get, especially as those citizens have nowhere else to go except to be refugees begging at other countries doors who definitely don't want them either, so they'll probably mostly just die.
