Hey, just wanted to say thanks for doing these Age of Wonders videos. I ended up getting the game and I've been playing it a whole bunch. Good fun. Wouldn't have heard of it if I hadn't seen your videos.
I watched your last AoW 3 series and loved it. I think I binged watch the first 10 episodes on a weekend. I don't even like playing games like this, but i thoroughly enjoyed each episodes. Keep up the good work.
Make sure to use the devastating charge as often as possible (takes places when the unit has moved at least three hexes before attacking), even when the mammoth is in point-blank range, you can turn around the enemy unit with a flanking attack, then spin the mammoth around to build up a charge and smash the opposition. Also very important: using skills gives xp, make sure to use heal undead at the end of fights to keep your army healthy and your heroes leveled. (Also works on non-hero units). Lastly, keep in mind that rushing production costs population. Cheers for the new playthrough!
Indrid - you're amazing. Kept my DoW2 love going for years, despite switching to mac. Always amazing storytelling and positive interest and curiosity. Keep the game up. Best from Denmark
Really glad, you drew me back to AoW after I only had a 7 hour run in 2014 and then turned away from it. Played AoW 1 back in the days. Your play through is very helpful at understanding the mechanics for someone lazy reader like me. Looking forward to this second campaign!
Yes!!! Keep up the AoW3 content please! I just finished another play through as a high elf warlord. This is arguably one of the best games ever created.
Nice more of Age of Wonders, please make this a long lasting series. Also, this seems fitting given the necromancer class. BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!
When you are done moving a unit on the battlefield consider holding right mouse button and move the mouse left or right will change the unit facing, and such any flanking attacks that the unit would receive.
Fantastic! I was hoping you'd have a new playthrough of Age of Wonders. This is one of my favorite series on RUclips right now and it's just the first episode.
Subbed! I have clocked up 3800 hours on AoW3 so always looking for new streams. Lots of great mods in the workshop. Just love this game! Nice LP btw. You might want to spice it up in the future with Cosmic Events (there are some great mods) and when you do play with that on, it seems to strengthen Emporer in playability :-) Challenging.
Wow. That 100% overkill shot there! Meaning you used 2 dmg to kill a 1 hp unit. But as wise men use to say: "There is no such thing as too much overkill."
Keep in mind that rushing buildings also costs population, as soon as you have more than one city, it's good to know where your combat kills end up and only rush buildings there.
Creating cadavers helps fill out your armies that's true, but also every ability use in combat is worth experience, so making them before killing the last enemy is sort of a no brainer if you can afford to maintain the cadaver.
Hurrah for more aow3 Indrid, after this can you please do a warhammer fantasy campaign?(human warlord/khorne, sorcerer/tzeentch, human dread/the empire, dwarf dread, elf druid and sorcerer, human necro vampires and goblin sorc or dread for skaven, with underground turned on?
Lore-wise, Frostlings started interbreeding with Ice Queens (which are not strictly Frostlings but something more magical), and the Frostling leader and heroes are the result of that.
Well, it's not the "only" way, but it is the most cost effective way. Sadly creating an actual AI with an actual "intelligence" in it, is just too expensive... :/
Bein unaffected by happieness is really, really bad, not good. Getting your primary race and cities happy is really easy and provides at a minimum +50% everything. And that is before the awesome boni. That feature alone makes Necros extremely underpowered, can´t begin to compete with most other classes.
"For more evilness, everywhere. All the time."
Bravo!
You just earned a sub.

Thank you for another new series! Thoroughly enjoyed the Sorcerer run, and Necromancer is bound to be a good one.

Yes, more AoW, finished watching your High Elf Sorcerer run and was hoping for more and this race/class will be very interesting to watch.
Indrid - you're amazing. Kept my DoW2 love going for years, despite switching to mac. Always amazing storytelling and positive interest and curiosity. Keep the game up. Best from Denmark
Really psyched too see more AoW. I bought the game full price because of you, what a blast!

I started a Goblin Necromancer, it gives cheap units, and gives population boosts, supports the Necromancer class perfectly.
So, you play basically as Sauron.
Yes!!! Keep up the AoW3 content please! I just finished another play through as a high elf warlord. This is arguably one of the best games ever created.
Nice more of Age of Wonders, please make this a long lasting series.

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!
In this case, for Papa Nurgle, spread the gift of death and decay to everyone.
Great you have started another playthrough! Greatly appriciated...
Excellent series. Thank you and fun to watch! Also educational!

Keep up the good work, i enjoy watching thess man and want to get the game now

Exactly

Frostling are kinda my faivorite race in AoW3 so I'm all in to thise letsplay.
Yay, more AoE3, looking forward to this new series, especially since I'm not that familiar with Frostlings.
I was just thinking about this game earlier and thought I would drop by see about some DOW content and boom.
wooohoo the undead march forward!
Man, when the rogue's shadow stalkers come out, this'll turn into a real no-damage fest, won't it?
It will be a bigger stalemate than the west front in WW1
Creating cadavers helps fill out your armies that's true, but also every ability use in combat is worth experience, so making them before killing the last enemy is sort of a no brainer if you can afford to maintain the cadaver.
Heroes of Might and Magic mixed with Civilization? I just may have to make a Steam Purchase!
Have you ever done a goblin dreadnought. Call him War Banks. Goblins look real greedy, and they are I think, so it fits. Cheaper muskets....
Awesome series.............
Omg Typhus Looks exactly like the frostling necromancer I made in my playthrough
YES!
Hurrah for more aow3
Indrid, after this can you please do a warhammer fantasy campaign?(human warlord/khorne, sorcerer/tzeentch, human dread/the empire, dwarf dread, elf druid and sorcerer, human necro vampires and goblin sorc or dread for skaven, with underground turned on?
Oh we acn actually charge here..And thennn probably die :D GOD you are cracking me up man :D
- "U alive?" asking undead ... =)))
The heck, Frostlings in AoW1/2 were tiny snow-goblins now they're big guys
I mean the leader, the units are more familiar
Lore-wise, Frostlings started interbreeding with Ice Queens (which are not strictly Frostlings but something more magical), and the Frostling leader and heroes are the result of that.
Yeeeeeessssssssssssss ty so much :D
Awesome!!
Make one bulider, and bulid forts. Necromancer can have frist metropolis rather easy, you also need undead plage and some neutral.
SWEEET!
can you do zoom?
So you are weak to fire and holy, have enemy nations that are fire and holy, and refuse to make a swarm of crappy ghouls to soak damage?
The swarm of cadavers will probably die before the get to any meaningful battles. I can't spare Reanimators/Heroes to support them yet.
also harpooners are really good.
its kind of said the only way to make AI harder is to give it unfair advantages... :/
Well, it's not the "only" way, but it is the most cost effective way. Sadly creating an actual AI with an actual "intelligence" in it, is just too expensive... :/
Also you always pump cadavers...
Should have rushed army structures with your opening build.
Bein unaffected by happieness is really, really bad, not good.
Getting your primary race and cities happy is really easy and provides at a minimum +50% everything.
And that is before the awesome boni.
That feature alone makes Necros extremely underpowered, can´t begin to compete with most other classes.
emperor AI isnt that difficult until they start spamming t4 units tbh.
It's CITY not CI' E.. painfull listening to bri' ish
