Hello everyone and welcome back to Age of Wonders 4! The GOAT returns to settle the score with Sandal once and for all! After seizing Starspire in a convincing auto at 24:50, the GOAT skipped ahead to T4 Tomes at 36:47 to claim another puzzle of his greatness - Anthem of Victory + Order Matrix - before sieging the Wellspring AGAIN at 1:10:49. Sandal Feddic finally ran out of escape paths and was cornered at 1:43:22, leading to a much deserved parade of victory at 1:50:44. I originally thought that I'd be pursuing an expedient Unity Victory, but the GOAT might be able to squeeze out a Magic Victory. Or more appropriate both for the memes -- thanks for watching!
I think your main diplomatic problems are that you don't pay for your grievances, so the allies are a bit mad at you, always trade them all and then with a good amount of grievances against them, they will be more willing to accept your terms. But wars are fickle, if they already have too many, they will refuse always. Still, it's good to pay for some stupid annexation or trespass.
If you made a faction your vassal they don't provide any income or bonuses, just forced to be allies and accept every call to war, that's all. It was my suggestion to add some like 10% of their income, but it would be probably OP.
@@Fableheim It is actually worse, you cannot befriend them, so you can have really low relation with them and so you cannot trade items, it is such a bummer.
