Not sure if anyone else has noticed this little tidbit yet: your wizard kings form isn’t just cosmetic; it retains the default body trait. So a human form wizard king is going to have the recuperating health boost, the elf form will have keen sight and so on. Edit: so, by extrapolation: each new form we get from DLCs means new potential builds for wizard kings.
Wait WHAT
@@googreg97 yep, I typically play human form for this reason. It helps early game to keep them alive between battles.
Nice catch!
Woahhhh now…so if you play human wizard king leading a faction of orcs, does the wizard king benefit from both the default human traits and orc traits? What if I’m a human ruling ruling a custom human faction? Does the wizard king get the default human traits, custom, or both?
@@Andreas0424 so the wizard king forms default body trait will always stay the same. Doesn’t matter what form or traits you pick for your minions. WKs don’t gain any trait benefits from their minions, and vice versa. Even if they share the same form, wizard kings body trait will stay the same. It’s the one thing linked to forms we cannot change
Great tips. One more to add most players don't realize:
You can unlock Pantheon traits/unlocks by moving in any direction: up, down, left/right. If you're going for a specific type of unlock, they tend to be grouped in rows. Unlock down until you hit that row, then left/right to grab all the ones of that type.
Any new unlock is only as far away as your nearest unlocked node.
Trait tier list would be neat, I think resistant is way up there as you can get armour quite easily from shield units.
Can you do a beginner playthrough and maybe explain the first maybe 20 turns in great detail? Thanks
Recently bought AoW4 on PS5 and your tips are a real treasure! Thank you and keep up the great work !
Another solid vid. Always learn something new in every one.
Great Job 👏👍
I love this channel because you always sound like you’re on the verge of cracking up or telling a joke
If I had a tip to give it would be that Diplomacy is a good way to achieve a military victory. If your stronger than your opponent you can coerce them into becoming a vassal. You may have to sweeten the deal with gold or other resources. Forcing another player to be your vassal is basically signing an alliance that they cannot break.
I see. Thanks for the tip. I'm not that type of military victory, tho, just curious, is it possible to vasalize another player that had a lot of grievances towards me?
@@amfarid_ in the tutorial I got so ahead that the enemy offered to surrender to me and become my vassal. Which made me win.
@@amfarid_ Im fairly sure that grievances are solely used to determine war justification. What determines your ability to vassalize opponents is your power. Things like army strength, alliances, number of cities and economy. The closer the opponent is to your power level the less likely they are to be vassalized. If you have an overwhelming advantage though the odds are better. Im sure there are some AI personalities that are more resistant to it than others. I do enjoy how this game lets you play as both a good or evil diplomat though.
@@patinho5589 lmao, I never played the tutorial level hahaha
@@user-ir4yk3jb5q Thank you!
Thank you
I Would Really love to have an optional undo button on the Worldmap, Just for people like me who miss click a lot. Other than that beautiful game 🎉

Cheese Grand Central dwarfing the entire Swiss cheese production! XD
At 6:24 you mention Ferocious Trait goes well with Chaos, could you elaborate a bit on this? I'm looking through all the Chaos Tomes and can't find any particular units, or spells that have strong synergy with this
Just imagine if it would be possible for a free city left over after the defeat of an empire to grow into an empire itself if left unchecked.
Great guide, Pixel! I’m absolutely loving this game, but I feel like the mid to late stages in AOW4 can really drag on and I’d be interested to see a guide video that focuses on that. Some of the talking points might include: choosing a victory condition, assessing enemy victory conditions, making good use of teleporters, balancing offense and defense, and using the underground and oceans effectively. Please and thank you! 😊
The Pantheon cheese is even faster then the one from Spiffing Brit where he defeats the enemy lord with an early all in.
(He did it in turn 13 ^^)
he didn't come up with the exploit method, he just watched another creators video who has been out since day 1. and if you do it right you can often complete the game by turn 3
@@calibratedconcepts4478 dont understand why people farm this. It's so much funnier to just play the game ?
@@Lynaliaplop I know right?
Thsnknyou got point 3. Iess unassuming the special improvements had to br in a province that would support what yhr improvement counted as.
Tried the last one just because I needed 3 more levels for a thing I needed, and it basically never worked because they'd instantly declare the type of war where you can't talk to them at all. Is there some extra key feature that's needed to do that one consistently? Only managed to pull it off once, and tried it like 12 times because I thought I made a mistake and just reset everytime. Ended up just doing domination victories instead because it was so vanishingly rare that it'd actually work
Little addon to the pantheon cheese. Make an artic land area and take the adaptation for it for a little more turbo.
should be noted yields from outposts' don't include food or production yields
Or Draft yields.
Basically an Outpost is only good if it' yields more Gold than it eats as upkeep, or if it yields Mana, or if it has a magic resource that you don't have anywhere else, as their bonuses don't stack.
I can't see how they are "free money".
Pantheon cheese is even easier if you make player 2 a human and hotseat it.
So, it sounded like you were going to offer more insight into the Rally of lieges than you did…. If you annex a Womder that offers you a unit(s) for RoL, sure got that. But how do you quickly get better tiered units other than that? I understand the mechanic being as your vassals get stronger, so will the units offered. Does that process go quicker if you hit the button for ‘Rally of Lieges” before the timer cools down? So you pay gold to quicken the tier offered by vassals?
The units they offer depend on the tier of the city state which you can see on their diplomacy panel. Currently, there is no way to increase their tier, their tier will always be what they started as. I think you can absorb them and then release them to increase their tier but I haven't experimented with that yet.
The strength of the units from RoL is based on the strength of the vassal. Much like the player the free cities have city tiers. The higher the tier and more developed the city the stronger the units the vassal should offer. Free cities can be a bit slow on their growth however. Im fairly sure thats because your taking up to 50% of their income. Im not sure if trade has any effect on their growth either. If your looking for strong units from RoL It might be better to try and vassalize and enemy city as that should be more developed. There are also a lot of order affinity empire developments that boost RoL. One of them gives faithful which is a 10% upkeep decrease and another gives +2 ranks to units hired though RoL. The vassal system and RoL is a bit complex so I might be wrong on one or more points but Im fairly sure thats how it works. Calling for another rally just refreshes the list of units you can hire. Whats cool is if your vassals have a large enough army they will attack your enemies if your at war and they decide to take part in it.
Hey Jumbo. Would you mind making a correction in the future videos, please, regarding arctic and desert race bioms. Many content creators on youtube disregard biom racial perks as weak. But I found that if you pick Desert or Arctic bioms as one of your race qualities - you will start at the bottom or at the top of the map respectively (100% cases I experienced). So you have advantage of having a safe side, one less side to scout, and you have a terrain that can help you greatly defensively. The more I play this game - more things I keep finding.
thanks man, that is actually really great info, and will help me play a couple games as White Walers from north of the Wall, or even as some kinda desert scourge themed games haha man i love this game
Can we get a transmutation guide?
I'm hesitant to do any cheese because I am having so much fun getting beat up. I'm about to try Grexolis again, fourth run. I think magic victory is my only chance.
I've yet to see anyone get another victory type. It's always magic or allied magic victory. I get they want the scenario to be challenging but it's punishing to play even on easy.
random question - where does the "GHOST SHIP" come from?
What is the max rank a city can grow to?
30 i think
Wow i was quick
The last tip doesnt work. I am everytime already in war when I find the enemy dunno why and he dont want to talk to me. Even on lowest difficulty
Anyone know good ways to lower settlement unhappiness? They seem to hate when I get more tiles
Order times with stability buildings.
@@teutorixaleria918 May I know what is meant by "order times"? I know there are stability buildings like the Tavern but those are so few.
play DARK culture .... city instability means virtually nothing after the first townhall upgrade
@@UnsaltedCashew38 order tomes, not times sorry. There's at least 2 order tomes that come with buildings that boost stability.
The empire development tree also has options to boost stability. Nature has one that gives +2 stability per forest and materium has one for +2 stability adjacency bonus for matching improvements.
Finally the last tier of the town centre building adds +2 stability per population which is effectively a 40% reduction in negative stability in every city.
Am I just bad at the battleing and building armies? Everything I make gets absolutely stomped.
Why can't you terraform in AoW4? You can only add terrain features, not remove.
Materium tomes have a spell that can destroy terrain. Use that and you have a blank canvas to terraform to your liking.
I do agree that terraforming could do with some refinement and expansion though.
How many ' tips ' videos with clickbait titles are you going to make on the same game?
There is a mod that gives you all the pantheon points after just one win.
Why do you enjoy this? I maxed it out already and wish there was more to unlock.
@@Sudokari some people dont have time to play the game all that much, I can understand that.. kids, responsibilities, etc.
One full game can take anywhere from 2 to 6h depending on map size.. so yeah, some people will skip this is possible just to have access to everything for the get go.
That being said, I got over 84h played, and unlocked everything.. but I can play while working ^_^
I believe you meant there is a cheat to skip progression.
Listen, I respect the grind for clickbait titles, but explaining base game mechanics is not "SNEAKY TIPS!".
he thinks watching another creators video on exploits and not crediting them is sneaky that's why
Why not just play the game that was meant to take your time?
Why is 1 a tip it's just what you do with that type of strat
why are all the maps so tiny in this otherwise awesome game
Due to the realm you have selected/created.
On realm's settings, set the players distance to far
1) only one was actually a tip, the rest were literally just "don't forget this mechanic." The pantheon cheese has been posted by many youtubers, and you should really give attribution/credit for something like that. That, plus the clickbait title... disappointing.
