Dadblaster

Leveling with my two sons. I'm using blizzard and arc lash. It seemed like it was going to be high damage "on paper", but it is starting to seem low. Not necessarily a bad thing though, because I am also very tanky.

Just something to do for a tireless dad while his kids are asleep. My main character is currently a lvl30 Sorceress that I am leveling with them.

My good friend Roy, has not played Age of Wonders 4 and wants to understand the game. In this special edition, I will be making my first "voice" stream appearance to explain to him everything I've learned so far while I continue Story Campaign #2 on Hard difficulty. He is also making his own game so we will probably be going off on game design & game theory tangents as it relates.

Continuing on thru the Age of Dads. I like how this beginning plotline is writing in some of the old wizards from Age of Wonders (2?). I also am loving how much they added to this game compared to the older ones: Almost too much to take in during the tutorial mission, but feels nice now that things are rolling...Complexity falls right into the "goldielocks range", which is hard to pull off 4 games into a saga. Kudos!

Finishing the tutorial mission turned out quite anticlimatic: I spent much time surrounding what I thought was the final ruler's city then declaring war on her...only to find out the city I surrounded wasn't her actual throne city, and that she was still hiding underground somewhere. Instead of trying to find her, I switched tracks to the "Magick Victory win condition" and spent a bunch of time figuring out what structures I needed built for this win condition... then figuring out that these structures I needed to build were tied to researching specific spell tomes. All in all, I'm glad I learned all of this in the tutorial. I am now continuing the first campaign mission and upped it to the highest difficulty mode. I had a much smoother start and seem to be doing much better after what I have learned

Ok I got a little distracted by an independent city in the south-east that immediately was hostile towards me. Tutorial should be complete after this sesh

The goal is to finish the tutorial mission today, while keeping a slow pace so I can take in all the rules to the game. I have played AoW 1 & 2 ages ago, and it seems like they have added quite a bit to AoW 4.

Rumble test stream Age of Wonders 4 I am new to the game, still on the tutorial
