Insanely Powerful Archer Build | Age of Wonders 4 (AoW4) Full Builds - The Wave

Update for Dragon Dawn below: Ever wonder how to do 400+ damage a turn with a tier 1 unit? With this Age of Wonders 4 build using lots of low level tomes to buff up your archers as much as possible that is entirely possible. If only the enemies would stay alive long enough! 100+ damage per shot, 4 shots a round. You do the math :-) This build is able to field huge armies due to powerful upkeep reductions without bothering with draft and logistics. And by focusing on low level tomes the extra affinity pips allows us to access several empire talents faster than normal. Allowing for a strong economy combined with very powerful armies. If you have any questions about the build at all feel very free to ask them in the comments. I will get around to answering Dragon Dawn Update: This build still functions as is, but has been nerfed ever so slightly by the changes to astral empirium tree talent order, amplified arrows and lure of the horde. On the other hand we don't care about the nerf to Impressment as we are already rocking Faithful so that is a plus. You should be able to more or less plug and play this build still in Dragon Dawn (it is the next expansion that might pose a threat to it). Some of the individual spells I talked about have been changed, but none of them were integral to the power of the build. Awesome Evil Angel Archers will still be awesome! If you want to play as a dragon that works as well, if slightly less optimal (which will not be a problem). Make sure you don't go TOO ham on summoning in irregulars early since your dragon awesomeness (and upkeep) might mean gold could become an issue. On the other hand, dragons hoard!
