    AoW3 is worth checking out if only because it has the most unique fantasy human faction I’ve seen in a 4X; focusing them around aquatic shenanigans, priests, and cheap cavalry.
    Something I will say to newbies, AoW is less “Total War on a hex grid” and is instead “Turn-based Starcraft”. Any turn you didn’t fight somebody is a wasted turn and all your empire building is geared toward getting you into fights.

    I believe the reason for the similar civic upgrades is due to multiplayer balance. This serie's multiplayer is with the full gameplay, not just the battles(as it is in TW games) and I am guessing having to come up with 6 individual and deep technology trees for civics proved too exhausting(and somewhat redundant).
    As for DLCs, based on the previous titles they usually provide a new faction, class and specialization(secret technology).
    Anyway, this title looks very cool.

    Splendid work as always. That's what partying elite is about.
    As a little suggestion, maybe you want to throw in a word or two about how accessible these games are, as strategy games can have quite the steep learning curve. Like do you feel overwhelmed when you play a reviewed game? Does the game ease you in with easy to understand (and somewhat entertaining) tutorials, maybe having easier to play factions? Or are you sitting there, reading (written only) tutorials for two hours until your head hurts and you're none the wiser after the process?

    • @PartyElite
      @PartyElite  5 лет назад +5

      Thank you! And that's an excellent point! I realize that I only mention the learning curve when it's challenging, and I don't mention it when it's smooth. Definitely something I should keep in mind for future reviews, because I totally agree with what you're saying.
      Fun fact - any time I make a note of a steep learning curve, people think I "just didn't bother to learn the game" it's hilarious. =D

    AoW3 is far superior than planetfall in everything except empire development and how flying units are handled
    You will never come across fantasy 4x whose units have the most creative abilities if not in AoW3
    Planetfall unit abilities are rather similar between races, far inferior im this case compared to 3.
    Tactical and strategic spells in planetfall also feels slightly more generic than in 3
    However, honestly from someone who plays AoW3 very extensively, like several years and several thousand hours of play time, planetfall is in my opinion actually a good game, it certainly far exceed my expectations.

    • @DraconiusDragora
      @DraconiusDragora 4 года назад

      Only problem with AoW3, is the inbalance between species, and classes. (Like the Magic limitation that cause the Sorcerer to not be able to make their armies in huge quantities. Or like how the Rogue, gets the strongest unit in the game, how Blight has been said by the developers to be the worst damage, yet refuse to buff the Goblins which rely mostly on Blight damage, or how Frost damage is basically the best damage in the game caused by that little to no one can resist frost damage and much, much, more.)
      I wish they would also go and make it so the Sorcerer and Druid's summons can be Recruited instead of just summoned.

    • @drek9k2
      @drek9k2 4 года назад

      I'm really not into fantasy settings though. And I will also say that while I appreciate the spin on things yes I do realize how entirely transparent Planetfall is about having a dwarven, necromancer, elf, imperial knight, etc faction in fact the only not really derivative faction on here is Syndicate with the bug creatures being I guess how scifi typically reinvents the green tide of orks/goblins. I do like how 40k at least tried to add some flavor beyond elves in space and goblins in space but really I always fucking hated that fantasy setting. It's a huge shame to me how much of fiction ultimately revolves around dwarves and elves.
      I think that is partly what made Starcraft such a great universe because it was so many layers of derivative from being derivative that origins became unrecognizable despite the fact the game itself is basically a toned down 40K.

      @@feliks8388 You seem to not understand at all.
      Okay so lets speak about Mana, and how Mana upkeep was the Sorcerer's and Druid's main issue.
      Firstly, most of their actual combat units are Magical, meaning you have to Summon them. Which costs CP, which is not a big deal overall.
      But when you have a general lock on how much Mana and Mana income you can have, that means once you reach that simple income with max mana you can store, then you are out of units, and have to rely on the Race's basic units, which pale in comparison to that of any other class specific unit.
      The Druid gets a ranged unit, which is okay, but overall still will get one shot by a Dreadnaught's cannons.
      CP is literally not the problem, because a Sorcerer is not supposed to rely only on their spells, but if they only can have 1500 mana max, with summons that costs over 50 mana per turn, you won't have many armies with that. Where as a Dreadnaught can just pump out army after army, after army. Oh hint, a Dreadnaught can have 3 Cannons and 3 Engineers, and pretty much get to fire every turn. And if they can have over 50 of those armies without problems, because all they are limited by is Gold, as Resource that is not Limited.
      Oh yeah Succubi is annoying, but I never have too much of a problem with them. I do however have a problem with a unit that ignore walls, ignore damage, ignore magic, and ignore defenses on units, because roflmao they are designed as elite units. Which is equal to that of the Eldrich Horror, the Tree God, Juggernaut, and many more.
      But it is only Druid and Sorcerer that has literally limitations to their armies, a Warlord can pump out Max rank units, with specific uses every turn, sometimes multiple per turn. A Dreadnaught has range and huge Physical damage, with complementary skills that makes them work. The Bard has a lot of crowdcontrol to take control of the battlefield, with average to great damage output. Where the theocrat can make their alters of judgement which adds to themselves, so having 6 of them in one army, boosts themselves for fun. The Druid has summons and pretty decent spells, but Mana being limited causes you to have to focus on the gold units instead, which by base is not good. Sorcerer similar boat, have great spells, but limited on the mana again, which causes the problems. Specially with how Mana upkeep is generated.
      First like gold, it adds from your Gold and Mana generation/growth. Then the Upkeep comes, so if you have an income of 2500 mana per turn, doesn't matter, since if your Upkeep is of your Max Value of Mana you can store, you will have 0 Mana. This is barely noticable in Gold generation, since it goesn't have an limit to how much you can store.

      @feliks8388 4 года назад

      @@DraconiusDragora no, your opinion is purely theories as in practice cp is the problem, you obviously haven't played that much or rather too very few, otherwise you should have known that sorcerer and druid can have many thousands max mana
      I never have any problems with mana and gold as sorcerer and druid as should everyone who actually main sorc and druid, both in single player and multi-player matches, that their units can utilize both mana and gold is actually an advantage, i always have many thousands of them both in stock by turn 100, and several thousands income of them per turn that i struggle to spend, yes it is in xl map with ug enabled, free for all max players which is 8 (me and 7 emperor AI, i left their race and class at random), every other settings are left at default. I don't rush either, even as sorcerer or druid, AI sending hundreds of T4 is never a problem for me, i don't beeline for their capital either after i defeat their leader, because at this setting and at v1. 8 the AI actually doesn't act suicidal with their leader. I don't do any exploit either.
      Note that druid and sorcerer have unique way to get more mana income compared to other classes , making them the classes with the highest mana income in the game
      If i can post my latest save game here, i definitely will do it if you really don't believe it
      For multi-player, sorc, druid along with classes who has method to convert (theocrat, necro) are the most overpowered

I bought all three games for the amazing price of $35 I was going to buy God of War Ragnarok at $65 but couldn't pass up the super low sale prices of the other three great games. Plus the bonus of play time, around 30 hours for GoW VS the hundreds of hours for the others.

      In the end it depends on your preferences. AoW certainly isn't great at economy but compared to AoW3 Planetfall is a huuuuge step and most people don't realize it.
      First off there wasn't even a society tree there only a couple of lazy economy upgrades.
      Second the main buff is on the military side again. The option to equip every single one of your units with a combination of about 100s mods is just amazing.
      Again, AoW isn't there to be played as a great empire build up, but in my opinion it rules on the tactical battle field with a depth that surpasses even xcom.
      Just my two cents. :)

    Interesting that you like the UI. Personally, it's one of my least favorite aspects of the game. There's a lot of open, blank, wasted space where there could be information displayed instead of making you cycle through a thousand different russian-nesting-doll menus and tabs to find what you need.

    • @PartyElite
      @PartyElite  5 лет назад +1

      Interesting! Any specific examples? I find that many strategy games either have visually unappealing UI or overly dense UI. I'm a fan of some negative space, personally. Room to breathe and compartmentalize information.

    @dylanschnabel4859 5 лет назад

    Okay I love AoW3 but this is almost *too* similar, like its a dlc reskin or something. After all these years, I want something fresh, I want new mechanics to figure out, I want familiarity but balanced with innovation. From what I’ve seen, however... there just doesn’t seem to be much of anything new to learn for AoW players, and considering I prefer the fantasy aesthetic anyways, it’s a darn shame, cus for a long time this seemed like such an easy buy for me, but now I’m gonna sit out and observe for the foreseeable future.

    • @jukahri
      @jukahri 5 лет назад

      Most of the basics are the same (it IS an AoW game after all), but just watching PE's video you can see a lot of extra mechanics and bits of content already, both on the overworld and combat layers. I would say, where Shadow Magic was AoW 2.5, Planetfall actually feels more like AoW 3.8 with a sci-fi theme.

      As far as memory serves, HoMM didn't have cover systems, overwatch, flanking, or other such mechanics that are a part of what's considered "XCOM style". Correct me if I'm wrong, though, I haven't played those games in a while!
