Otoh really dislike how the merchandise etc options really discourage you from building stuff in most of your cities, since you have to not just pay the cost of making the buildings and units, but also the cost of not merchandising during those turns. And with the nets added for them from the human governance bonus, and extra movement from explorer research, they become crazy good for their cost (and have basically no upkeep, unlike other summoned stuff). You get the through the Raise Militia spell, so don't have to waste production turns of your towns on it. Mechanically, I enjoyed spamming civic guards as a Human Explorer Warlord a lot.
Even if building forts, etc, would be too much to ask to code in.įor the surrendering, realized you can still decline it at least. At least give the AI some higher difficulty levels that cheat more, so you don't have to go out of your way to create a carefully made custom scenario just to have a basic challenge. Standard, maybe, it's garbage in any case. Never mind any of the exact mechanical differences, if AoW4 doesn't address this basic problem I don't see it as worth playing at all for someone who doesn't suck at strategy games. So what game mode is this game supposed to be good at? Is there some mod that would if not make the AI if not smarter, at least make it cheat better? The AI is so braindead and doesn't even understand the game mode properly - even when I pit myself against highest level AIs teamed together, when I got 2 good victories against one of them, that AI surrenders and gives me their capital (plus their leader as a hero and an accompanying army - way easier and faster than me having to capture it), basically doubling my eco in an instant and screwing the rest of the team.Īnd it's a poor fit for MP, since either you have the simultaneous turn clusterfuck for movement and no tactical combat vs independents, or consequent turns and no tactical combat between players. While a lot of the mechanics are interesting, it's just too hard to get an interesting game.
