Looking for Culture you've found it right here. This DLC is a must buy!
Again with this DLC I haven't done the story yet so can't talk about Godir and its primal Fury Lore or anything.
But can talk about the Scenario Realms/Custom Made realms.
When creating your own race you get two types Lupine and Goatkin. Lupine is might LEAST favourite, it reminds me of plushy dog toys I find at a Pokemon shop or some animal cuddly shop lol, Just not my cup of tea. Goatkin is amazing, it reminds me of Leprechauns except the myths are completely different. Goatkin has really cool foreshortening legs and great posture. Definitely my taste in terms of character design.
Why did I buy this?
Culture!
A DLC that gives you a new culture ''Primal'' and then choosing a spirit animal you want to guide you through your Realm. Being able to chose 1 of I think 7 different types of animals which grants extra resource bonuses depending on the spirit animal and terrain. It also grants you an extra affinity when selecting your specific spirit animal. You also get a new structure that revolves around your primal Culture and it changes your terrain per a turn. Which is really nice because this is what I mean about culture spirit animals shape shifting/terraforming your landscape and focusing on your build around this culture adds another layer of mechanics. I also love the items you get for the Primal culture it feels more intimate and indigenous. The units are a bit more unique, we have a Dart range unit, totally different from crossbows etc and can jump few hexes back when it shoots. Great mechanic, very useful. Also the Polearm unit can jump and slam down on multiple units while maxing at your travel distance. Seems like the game gets better per each DLC.
The DLC are a reason to keep playing AOW4. Theres always something different while adding a couple of layers of core mechanics.
Negatives:
Lack of Spell tomes, you only get two but in the Dragon DLC you get three.
The tomes ain't all that fancy as well, you don't really need them. However the Storm tome is very useful in water realms like Islands, Continent etc. I dislike AOW4 Water maps so I would stick with basic tomes for Coast or full Land maps.
Animals are generic. Saber-tooth and Mammoth is very predictable and the crow is already in the game but they could've gave us an Astral Owl that looks fat or something but still has ''fly ability''. Wanted some interesting design.
Great DLC either way
