Age of Wonders: Planetfall -- Xenoplague Amazons! -- Part 1 [Sponsored] 

If this were made into a series, I mean...well I wouldn't complain

I've never seen any AoW game, but this game appears to me like a mix between Heroes of Might&Magic and Civ :D which seems REALLY intriguing

I missed your videos quill, keep em coming :)

Cover sort of was a thing in AOW3 but it was a lot more simple. There wasn't half or full cover. There were only obstacles to break up line of sight and protect your units that way. Some units ignored line of sight and/or long range penalties. Flanking mechanics were a bit different too.

Bought the game. Love it. I played several AoW games and this is one of the most enjoyable: not so much a predetermined path for your heroes to follow. More open world. Production value is good too: plenty of content and good graphics. Thanks Quill18 for the review (I bought it before watching this but it's useful to see you play)

This game is a MASTERPIECE. Keep playing man!! I'm absolutely loving this game, I've been playing nonstop since release!

Played a shit ton of AoW3 back in the day. This game is a warm welcome.

This game seems so fresh and has so many new mechanics it could put Civ6 into its back pocket.

yes, these videos are essential watching for newcomers. your stellaris tutorials were awesome as well

"Dinosaur riding laser women" might just be the most metal series of words ever uttered.

More of this please. I know it was sponsered but it's great.

Sweet episode! Pretty dang cool game, this one! Cheers, Ivan :D

Just got the game from humble bundle, fount it quite confusing even though I'm used to civilization. This video helped me understand lots of the mechanics. Great job ;) Keep up the good work.

Great, inspiring video! Thanks for the tips!

I feel like the Xeno plague is basically the flood :P

Everytime I look up tutorials for super awesome games ....you are always the guy lol feels like your my cousin at this point .....keep up the good work my brotha I appreciate it

Central core tip: build energy is the most useful followed by food, then research, last production.

Was waiting for your vid on this game :)

In before copyright strike on Amazon Prime

PAPA NURGLE IS PLEASED

Appreciate you posting this. Looks like a fun game. I got Age of Wonders III and will hopefully pick this up eventually just because it has a familiar look but a different style which you explained and showed off nicely.

Zoned out while watching, time flew, great video, thanks.

Heroes of Might and magic, in space, neat

Quill please play more of this! I just bought it on the back of this stream but it is quite overwhelming for someone who has never played this type of game before.

I seriously thought the amazons had a bullet point "Command genetically engineered breasts."

Some people argue that simultaneus turns is unfair for the player because they see AI players "click faster" and thus move before the player can intercept an army. But if you think about it, really it makes ZERO difference. If you play classical turns, the AI's can do all their stuff "before" the player can, in the next following turn. If you play simultaneus turns, again the AI can do their stuff maybe before the player has a chance, the EXACT same outcome in terms of turn progression! In fact, i personally like to think of it this way, when i'm doing my turn 1, i'm in reality doing turn 2 "preemtively" before the AI's get to act. Because it really is the exact same thing, if you move in Turn 1 before the AI's (classic turns), or if you move in Turn 2 before the AI's (simultaneous turns). It really just depends on how you think about it, but it really ends up being the exact same "benefit", everyone still just gets 1 move per round, so it makes absolutely NO SENSE to me that 90% of all youtubers still use Classical Turns. You're literally ONLY waiting for the AI's turns, for NO benefit.. It's madness..

Hate that I always seem to be working when you stream these games I am totally into. Wish you had an affiliate link so you could get credit for my purchase of the game, but totally happy to see the VODs being uploaded here too. This makes the third game I've bought because you played it for me and showed how much fun it could be, the other two being City Skylines and Stellaris.

Looks interesting, also looks like a Civ: BE (Beyond Earth)/Planetfall Hybrid. Oh wait, also kinda looks like Surviving Mars.

Not all are worth to die by Snu Snu, most die as dino meal...

That opening, thought that was Adeptus Mechanicus Tech Priest at first.

Oh thank god! Wish I could like twice!

This video is just 1 big plug for Amazon Prime

wow its quill, not watched quill for years

My dear Quill, there's no point in writing this under this video or another, maybe just that I love age of winders since the early 2000s and i was so hyped for this one. Anyway two of your videos are stuck in my memory: the one in which you talk about leaving your job to be a full time streamer and the one in which you're totally drunk saying TB the last goodbye. TB meant a lot to me and somehow his "wtf is age of wonders iii" is my favourite video of him. I donìt know, I just love his voice and he was so damn smart. Anyway, I'm slightly drunk, therefor I feel plenty of love in my heart, so I'd like to thank you because you're the loving ear that listens to strategy gamers in your friendly canadian elegant way, and to cheer to the memory of the man that would have produced the best content (I'm sorry dear friend but you come second) about this title that I already love so much, John THE MAN Bain. Best wishes to you and your family from Tuscany. P.S. I love whisky more than chocolate, I would have sent you some but times are hard, but if you ever come to Florence the first drink is on me.

13:30 let's lunch the game ^^

Just so you know, if you sell a reward you are only selling the part of the reward with $ next to the symbols. Sometimes it's the whole reward, sometimes it's only 1 or 2 parts of the reward.

If anyone is interested and more gameplay there is a twitch streamer, Vormathrax, who just started playing. He's damn good too!

This is fine 'n all, but where is episode 24 of the Children of Eden ?

your picks here kinda reminds of Cadillacs & Dinosaurs. a one season wonder on Saturday mornings in '93/94. for the time, it was really, really political for kid's fare.

That commander... hot damn.

Xenoplague names: Anthrax, Bubonis, Cholera, Dengue, Ebola, etc. Lost opportunity.

Question: Does the AI in this game as blatantly map cheat as it did in AoW3? I stopped playing AoW3 because I watched as an enemy army kept turning back and forth from one of my cities halfway across the map as I stepped a unit in and out of it.

Amazons of Wonder: Pustulefall

The combat seems to be the fun part, why auto solve them, especially at the start, when you can easily lose units and it makes a big difference? I would always go into the combat.

And once again we see why you NEVER auto resolve in strategy games. RNG throws skill out the window and even with great odds, sometimes you do roll that 1 on the dice. Letting modded vet units fend against a dice roll is always wrong if you're halfway decent at playing the game.

Keeps killing me that no one is making Alpha Centuari comparisons.

1:34:18 So you're saying the front fell off?

Yeah, the random mod that works with your loadout isn't really true, got exosuit, that only infantry can use, while starting as a support vehicle. Totally useless, but kleptomaniac is the only vice worth taking, as the rest are not based on a fix number but 10% of some ressource for the rest of the game, so as soon as you hit 100 of that thing it's way more expensive, and you hit that fast.

Are the units all the same across factions with different skins? Meaning the stats and all that are the same like Age of Wonder 3? One reason I never got into the Age of Wonder. No diversity in the units between factions.

What's your honest opinion of this game. Got it last weekend. I think it's great. I'm not very good at it though. If you enjoy it could you do like a tutorial like you did with stellaris. Thanks

I ended up skipping the initial tutorial text with xenoplague in the game, and now I dunno how to find it again to read up on it D: How can I find that info back? >.

That crash happens all the time unfortunately they really need to address it!

Which will be nice FOREST lol

I love turn based games/ xcom, divinity,civ

Is the consol versions watered down?

Seems an interesting game, just wish it was less cartoony and light. And more budget into presentation.

Man this does look like a cool game, but it makes me hope someone makes a 40k mod for this so you can play the Sisters of Battle. Lol

Eternity lies ahead of us and behind you have drank your fill. Guess which game this quote is from? If you know: 🙌👏🏆 Then you got my respect!

The models are straight from the PS2.

Not a single mention of Endless Legend? If I were feeling mean I'd call it a reskin. EL is a great game though, so it's nice to see more of that kind of strategy.

The game looks interesting. However, the problem I have with it is the sense of scale. In a game with cities and claiming territories, it ruins my immersion when the "armies" that are marching around only look like thirty guys. And it's much harder to pull the Civ explanation of "abstraction" here because the units are individually taking cover, actions larger formations of soldiers couldn't do. Kind of a niche hybrid of two games, Civ and X-Com, but, for me personally, I don't think I could play it without getting annoyed lol

"And what sort of Civ6 mod is this?" /Borat 44:00 -- Harrier, a Tier 2 flying unit. "How fast can you fly -- don't interrupt, lemme finish -- backwards?"

This is Only A PC game.....Right?

Sexy Amazons *>>>* The Borg of the Planetfall :^)

Ah, so they're like that one all-female race from Mass Effect which can reproduce without needing male cells. And they have need abilities. Interesting.

Xenoplague Amazons on the Xenoplague world was my first game. Wasn't that great, few animals other than Xenoplague, fewer chances to infect easy enemies, and so on.

hi

Its civ an xcom mixed lol

She looks like she bench presses the weight bench, while a bro is bench pressing on it

this game looks ill.

This announcer > Civ VI announcer??

You are too aggressive. There is no turn limit or goal you need to get to. Be a bit more defensive and you're likely to lose less units. It makes little difference in time.

Looks like amateur reskin mod of AOW3. In combat looks good, but units/portraits look like school project, it was way better in AOW3. They should have polished the real thing a bit more instead IMO... And take some time with the AI finally. It's pretty weak and slow and relies a lot on cheating after AOW2(sw). Old ones had actually decent AI for the time, but they expended the decision space and didn't do anything to improve on it. I love AOW3, will likely try this one too, but so far it looks pointless and dumbed down and the UI style is silly and harder to read. Also it's rather odd seeing quill, who's played AOW3 be surprised of abilities that are just renamed AOW3 ones.

These videos that com from livestreams are so annoying and you seem to have more and more of them recently. Are you moving to livestreaming instead of normal videos? All the Livestream adornments are just super annoying to me.

I was really about to watch this video but gettin the notifications on new subscribers every fewnseconds is so annoying that i just stopped the video. Why are you having those in the video at all? What purpose does it serve to the viewers? So bad....

Did not enjoy AoW (meaning it handed me my butt Every. Single. Time.) Feel like Planetfall isn't going to do much to change my dislike.

Sorry quill but that subscription every 5 sec was very annoying and turned me away from the review

He talks so much, but says so little...

38 minutes and you're seriously still in the beggining. Quill I love your content but please focus more on the gameplay and talk about it on the go. Don't spend so much time just explaining shit which is pretty obvious and self-explanatory

your postmodern irony is tiring
