Quite a few of us playing this I think so thought I'd create a thread as I keep asking questions in the other ones.

I have not gone down the custom race route yet, just playing default (Crusading Croakers), on the first scenario. Has anyone got any general tips to share outside of min maxing stuff? One thing that made my life easier is I bound next army to 'q' and city to 'e' as I rarely ever rotate the map and I use wasd to navigate instead of mouse edge scrolling. If I created more armies I may need to reassign 'e' to prev, also keep forgetting I can assign commands to my mmo mouse.
I prefer to use auto resolve for battles, don't have the patience for manual ones (same in Warhammer TW3) but I have turned a defeat around by doing so when auto failed me.

Some of the event choices make no sense, an example was a birthday one where you could either spend 200 or 100 ish gold to boost relations with a free city, why would you not choose either for the sake of losing standing with them. I don't get why you are penalised with -5 alignment for destroying province improvements with someone you are at war with.

Do people just see 'age of' and their brain stops functioning because the unrelated age of empires is an rts? Most 4x games are turn based lol and the age of wonders series always has been.

As above spent many hours already on this. Didn't enjoy the last civ (not sure how that franchise does so well being turn based) and wanted a different spin on things.
Just started a new game, enjoying it much more than the first as I have a better idea what I'm doing.

I do love Civ 6 (and all the Civs 1 thru 5 before it), got over 1000 hours played on Civ 6 but one of the things thats good about the Age of Wonders series is that while they have some Civ aspects they are also different enough that they play differently which means that someone can certainly have both series in their collections without an overlap of the games.

I think V was my favourite but I'm just a bit done with it as a whole I think. I tend to prefer the grander fantasy 4x games now like Stellaris, Endless Legend.
If there are any others you recommend let me know, just not total war series because the blended approach doesn't work for me ala Warhammer.
