Fey/Nature DLC with centaurs, moth and Julia where?

 

[AlloyGray1]

Vampires and Werewolves.

Vampirism and Lycanthropy minor transformations.

New Fated zones

- A gothic castle on a hill, ruled by a vampire lord and his court that we have to defeat, but first we have to find an artifact to weaken him by eliminating his underlings.

- A boneyard with a massive skull as a den, home to a pack of werewolves. The Alpha resides inside the den, so must challenge his guardians before he comes out to face us.

A gothic horror dlc with vampires and werewolves would be quite popular with players so in that sense I'm in favor of it. However, personally I'd rather have Driders than Vamps and Werewolves.

In the end I'll be glad to see more content, regardless.

Never knew I needed sphinxes until I saw this, gotta get some desert worms too. This was probably work well thematically with a sun-themed angel empire with Archon Prophecy (I hope?).

Trade routes could be fun too, they are one of my favourite things from Civilization that might not feel too out of place in AoW4. Could beef diplomacy up more.

I do think intelligence/episonage could really add a lot to the game. It could be really fun and help spruce up shadow game play (thinking invisible ghosts that decrease morale, vampires living right under your noses, sabotaging research of other empires/stealing it, etc). Could work well with the trade routes idea. It might be hard to ensure it's not intrusive tho...

A Shadow/Shadow (Shadow/Chaos?) tome for nightfall and an Order/Order (Order/Nature?) for daybreak would be really cool if implemented alongside a day/night cycle.
