54 tomes. Each tier (except T5) got 2 tomes of each affinity, and there's 6 affinity: Order, Chaos, Materium, Nature, Shadow, Astral. So T1, T2, T3 and T4 got 12x tomes each, and T5 is 6x tomes. They've mentioned they'll add more tomes in the DLCs for whatever the DLC theme fits best for.

@vicwaberub5297 Год назад

1:27 We see a list of units for production. I am disappointed with the production concept: gold and production time are important factors for choosing a production in a turn-based strategy game. But if I can only build one unit per turn per city, I should always take the highest level, because a higher level beats the low ones. It would be different if the concept from Endless Legend was used, where several units can be built per turn. Three L1s or one L3 is a choice, one L1 or one L3 is not. Why is the game using the concept of Empire (1977) and not a modern concept of Endless Legend (2014)?

@@vicwaberub5297 the speed of unit production is determined by its draft requisite and your production of draft per turn. So e.g. a unit costs 20 draft and you produce 10 draft/turn, it will take 2 turns, 20 draft/turn it would take 1 turn, and 40 draft/turn you can create 2 in one turn. The draft required for a unit may vary.

@L4sz10 Год назад

@@vicwaberub5297 "draft" is an abstract resource similar to "production", while the latter is for buildings, draft is for units. You can see it on the mentioned screen, the Zephyr Archer requires 220 Draft, and the city Mountward provides 221 Draft per turn. That is why it is finished in one turn. Should the city generate less draft, the unit creation time would probably seem more differentiated. But the core mechanism of Barbarian culture and Chaos Affinity is generating draft at a higher rate, so they can recruit units pretty quickly.

I don't know about mix matching. It seems like going for a mono-affinity build makes it stronger. I may be wrong of course.

Maybe I just misunderstood how tomes/affinities work.

@L4sz10 Год назад

Higher tier tomes require certain amount of affinity, and the easiest way for it is to unlock a lower tier tome that provides that affinity. Also, tomes provide more than just units and spells. It can provide unique buildings, provinces, the affinities translate into resources, narrative events, and empire perks.

@xShadowbane451 Год назад

Not sure if it has a "limit" don't think they ever mention that. But I think they said 9 is the average you'll get. If your 10th tome is your T5 one, it mentioned in the video it has a victory condition spell in it. So getting T5 and casting it would set a win condition if you have that one on, if not then yeah you could keep going I'm guessing.

@canineshark1767 Год назад

Unless my brain is imagining it they said their technically is no limit, but remember the more you go after the longer you're game will go, and even the AI will likely meet one of the win conditions before you finish all of them.

@MrKenjitsu Год назад

Is there a limit to the number of tomes you can pick up during a game? I have heard, but not confirmed, that you can only have 9. In the custom build that was listed in the video, it seemed to support that (2 T1 + 2 T2 + 2 T3 + 2 T4 + 1 T5). I have also heard, but not confirmed that you can only have 1 T5 tome, which makes sense if you can only have 9 tomes total. I assume that you can take more than 2 T1 tomes, but doing so would prevent you from getting a T5 tome. Anyway, just trying to verify how many tomes can be picked up during a game. Thanks.

@L4sz10 Год назад

You can unlock any number if tomes from T1 to T4, only that you have to have at least 2 tomes unlocked in the tier below. The T5 tomes are mutually exclusive, so you can only have one. 9 is an average number if tomes in a map acvording to devs, it can be more or less, but soober or later the AI tries to trigger winning conditions, and will win the game if you won't. But it probably depends on many things.
