All of the first post ideas sound fantastic.
I really love more water content.
I thought the way that the heroes of might and magic handled water combat would make a great base where land units were present on a boat and boats were locked together with gangplanks.
You could add to this by having units with water-walking, flying etc be more independent.
You could also allow boats to be upgraded with war machines etc.

@seperamos Dude, your passive aggressiveness is another level. Don't waste your time going after my posts from other games and forums to dislike them one after another. AoW4 is just a game. It's okay to disagree.

That's funny, you've been disagreeing with all my comments on this thread and others. I can understand not liking someone's ideas or perspectives, but going out of your way to dislike at least ten of my comments shows a very keen lack of maturity.

Am I not allowed to disagree with your simple takes on game development?

I disagreed with some of his posts on this thread while reading it for the first time, and he did the same thing to me, going through my post history to mash the red X on threads completely unrelated in rapid succession. It's best to just ignore such childish tantrums.

Nothing childish about disagreeing with you or Max. I'd like to see this game continue to succeed without having to deal with petty insults from forum members with bruised egos.

Just because I disagree with your ideas doesn't mean you get to attack me for voicing mine. I never insulted you.

Indeed.

I also never insulted you, I insulted your actions, which by your own admission showed a lack of maturity. You don't get to claim the high road while taking the low path.

Lack of maturity is taking screenshots of people who disagree with your posts. Grow up.

Edit: You and Max have completely derailed this thread to bring attention to your hurt feelings. Is this supposed to be an example of a mature forum user?

Thanks for sharing. I appreciate that. My Paradox Forum alerts look the same as yours. Speramos all over and every day lately. 11 in a row today. Even going after my bug reports for different games!!! For someone with the cross and fist in the profile photo that is a lot of zeal for units on boats in a video game.

Lets not get all worked up over insults between forum members. I insult everyone, engaging in a vapid conservativism suggesting their lack of wisdom when compared with the divine wisdom of Triumph studios. Your insults are petty compared to mine. Esperamos has to disagree with you eleven times to compare to me.

I divinely predicted that the next faction would not be order primary or specifically archon, and did not succumb to boats. Your wisdom pales in comparison to mine. None of you are less mature than I am.

I would love some more tier 1 tomes because they define the unique starting point for every faction. Maybe even some new pure affinity ones. Themes i could think of are water magic (Astral), a materium based fire/lava tier 1 tome, Some kind of tier 1 wind tome (maybe astral/materium based), a shadow tier 1 tome based on bandits stuff (maybe shadow/chaos or shadow/materium), a flower/agricultural nature tier 1 tome (beast and roots are both quit ''beasty and poison heavy'', maybe a more astral and less shadow based snow/winter tier 1 tome. But these are just some vague ideas of a random ''basic stuff fan'' haha. I'm happy with everything we will get for sure.
What i would love for all this rising possibilities would be a way to better define the tomes you ruler pick as AI. Some kind of tome path you can toggle off and on in the wourld creation options. Just because we get so many tomes, that the results of your created factions can get very wild like my mages go 50% of the games for tentacle legs just because they like astral and stuff like that.

Okie dokie. Seem to be some strong opinions here.
…ANYWAY!
I would kinda like to see some nature tomes that manipulate the flora in battlefields. I think the animate flora spell should maybe be a support enchantment? Like a full action continue ability to turn plant terrain into the flora unit would perhaps be good? Because I don’t think I have ever used the actual spell in combat. Also maybe a new tome all about creating plant terrain like the ritualist hero is capable of. I’m not sure what it would look like but I think it’d be interesting to explore.
I wonder what a potential Vampire Tome would look like? Shadow/Chaos affinity yes? With perhaps an enchantment around causing bleeding to provide additional benefits? Maybe a stack of regeneration per stack of bleeding? Perhaps causing mages to inflict bleeding? Maybe extra damage per stack of bleed and a racial transformation doing…something? Major or minor you think? Because Wrightborn…basically does everything a vampiric transformation would do I think…
