That’s not to say that they’re resting on their laurels, though, as they take the ending of Age of Wonders 3 and run with it into a multiverse of possibilities as the Wizard Kings break down the walls between worlds in search of new realms to conquer. Halflings from previous AoW games with Eagle mounts and their Farmlands, why not.Īnd in case someone starts with: "mounts you propose are unbalanced", as long as numbers such as draft or unit tiers are a thing you can balance them.After a dalliance with science fiction, Triumph Studios is returning to more typical fantasy fodder for Age of Wonders 4. Just think of the options it could open to a player, you want to recreate Carthage with Elephant Mounts and Grassland/Desert Adaptation, do it. Personally I would love to have these with an extra content delivered by modding community. I know that you won't be able to change those before the release, but please consider making Mounts and Adaptations as two additional pools of traits to chose. When it comes to Adaptations the issue here is that you trade decent statistics for a very narrow "specialization", they are not much worse, but they feel like a roleplay traits.Ĭonclusion, there is no other reason than "flavour" to pick special mounts and adaptations. And the third problem is that with Society traits, you can start with Polearm units at +2 Rank and they are ultimate counter to Mounted units. Second issue is that Mounted units in previous games cost more than regular units, if that's similar in AoW4 then it means even if you rush them you still are going to be behind the player who is working around Infantry or Ranged units.
Why? First of all one their own bonuses and special abilities are underwhelming, a flat HP is meaningless when compared to bonus Armor or Resistance which raises an effective HP of ALL the units. When it comes to Mount traits they definately seem weak or one could even say useless as compared to the other options. I was watching a video on faction creation and I have some minor concerns about Mount and Adaptation traits being a part of Mind and Body and I looked through the comments to find out that I'm not the only one.
