Age of Wonders 4: Ways of War Review (Wking)
There's not much to talk about, but let's go in order,
Pros;
+ 4 new tomes. There's no need to comment here in general. The more, the better.
Neutral;
+ 2 new forms. Aesthetically, I think it looks good. The aesthetic design of the monkey and oni forms is good, in my opinion. The minus is; we can't make an Asian-style dragon form, another minus is that there are no western-style ogres. When you ask me what an Ogre is, I think of a pot-bellied wild ogre. They call this form an ogre, but it's just an oni. I wouldn't have that much of a problem if they changed it to oni.
Cons;
Culture. It's too simplistic. There's already a more dynamic version of this, High culture. Let me tell you about the game mechanics of the Oathsworn culture, the sub-culture you choose has rules, if you play by these rules, you collect points. When you reach a certain limit, you get a buff.
High culture already does the same thing better. If you play high culture, you can decide in the game which one you want to be, good or evil. But if you choose oathsworn, you have to go in one direction.
If the main focus of the dlc was not culture, I would recommend it because of the 4 tomes, but since they gave such a simple culture as the main focus of the dlc, I don't recommend it. Wait for a discount.
