I like them both, but their concepts are completely different.And here are the updated notes that I used for the video (big thank you to everyone who commented their suggestions!): The only thing that really truly is carved into stone in an Age of Wonders 4 match is your society type, which functions like Race does in Planetfall.
In Planetfall race and secret technology matter, but in Age of Wonders 4 your race is cosmetic with traits you can tinker with, and magic you can mix and match at will. Where in Planetfall a Xenoplague commander will always be Xenoplague, and a Promethean will always be Promethean, in Age of Wonders 4 I can start with a tome of Cryomancy, grab a tome of roots, later on grab a materium tome, etc.Įssentially Planetfall is more individualistic and rigid, whereas Age of Wonders 4 is more a sandbox. However, you're not locked to a single affinity of magic like you're locked into a single secret tech in Planetfall. In Age of Wonders 4 your equivalent of Secret Technology is your tomes of magic you pick up. Age of Wonder 4's equivalent of the Dvar is the Industrialist society which are hard to kill, prospect sectors with scouts, focus on protection, etc, etc.Īdditionally, in Planetfall your secret Technology can never change.
In Age of Wonders 4 you can make a dwarf race, but you'll never get that playstyle just by being a dwarf as it just is cosmetic. The problem though comes down to the fact Planetfall is about individual unit customization and racial identity, whereas Age of Wonders 4 is more macro focused and it's about your societal identity.įor example when it comes to races In Planetfall the Dvar are space dwarves that prospect sectors, have incredibly hard to kill units, and focus on protection. Some of the stuff is no longer mods but racial modifications like void tech's walking through walls is now the astral major racial transformation that effects every single unit of the race.
Age of Wonders 4 is lacking the concept of ranged overwatch, but there's many things within Planetfall you'll find in AoW 4.
