I really hope they are also a playable faction. Let's be real here, everybody loves the archons.
Just like they made the shadow demons a playable faction with the girl on the cover i forget her name right now...
Umbral Demons are far from ideal i fear, they are extremely limited without Umbral abyss active, only Mistress and transformed racial units are available, and has no T5 for full thematic umbral armies.

No Shadow demon unit got translated into AoW4 either, the closest thing are Dark Knights using pestilent beatles (anti synergy with umbral demon transformation btw), i hoped for the Lord to be featured.

I know and that's the problem. The actual page and forum of the game receive the least amount of information.
What's the point of having an account here when we are always the lasts to find out stuff.
As I've stated before, the Forums, the Reddit and all our supported Platforms get their official news at the same time and in the same capacity. We do not make any official statements or do official reveals on any individual platform. The only thing you're missing when you're not part of the discord is the larger Age of Wonders Community.

Ok ok ok... so, any news yet? :)

My idea for a cultist culture has creeped into my brain again. And due to its spiritualist themes, it definitely could work for the expansion.

The way I envision it (which probably isn’t what Triumph has in mind), is as a culture that worships one of the Endailons. Furthermore, it has no primary affinity. It instead is a pure affinity based on which Endailon is worshipped. (Order Endailon is Order/Order, Chaos Endailon is Chaos/Chaos, etc.)

I dig it. My mind has also wandered in that direction on occasion.

Still, I feel like a Culture that either worships the Allfather (Order/Astral) or Urrath (Shadow/Astral) is more likely. Both because of the theme of the dlc and because it is less complex.

That would probably be difficult to implement. Primal shares a theme as primitives. These are all disparate themes.

That being said, I would certainly enjoy Endalions being added as deity-like characters.

My bet is not a "cultist" theme, not directly, but that can be implemented in a Bronze age cultural pastiche.

Tigrans were egyptians, so that is a classic culture it is missing, a culture that combines Egypt, Assyria, Sumer and Canaan has plenty of potential for this DLC.

New poll for the next DLC

You are a ruler...

...who has made large swathes of glorious land your home. Life is peaceful, spent planning architecture and building monuments.

Yet one day, after you fall asleep, you are struck with a vision of an ancient wonder. A voice whispers to you. Immediately, you know what this is — a prophecy.

The voice foresees...

Does this mean we might get some news regarding the DLC before the summer break?

Judging how it was done with GK next week we will have a stream (1 stream per week for 3 weeks) and around July 8 we will get AP release. So all and all, most likely next week we will see what AP will have from steam store page and some tidbits from stream.

Polls from saturday & sunday

Poll Dos

You are a ruler...​

You wake up, convinced to travel to the location from your dream in order to defeat the Great Threat.
On the way, you encounter hordes of undead blocking your path!
Just when they are about to strike, you glimpse your loyal griffon steed, here to rescue you! Its name is...

Poll Tres

You are a ruler...​

Riding on the back of Griffon the Griffon, you fly over your enemies and towards your destination — an Archon Observatory.
As you land, it seems that someone beat you to the chase. Standing before you is a corrupted mirror of yourself, a figure with sallow skin and a menacing face.
Wordlessly, they raise a hand, and you hear the groans of the undead army behind you. You quickly counter and...

hello @Triumph Jordi , would it be possible to share with us your dev diaries subjects schedule until the release of the Archon Prophecy? I'm curious to know what new content will be presented when. Thank you!
Every Thursday until release of the DLC. This is in their announcement for Archon Prophecy.
Since you guys want to be kept up to date
Thank you, Jordi, for sharing this on the Forums too. While I get that Discord is a great place for chatting it's nice to be able to see something on my own time on the forums rather than hoping I was there with Discord.
