I hope we can still make those adorable goblin girls :D

Dunno about you guys, but some of the customization options for female goblins in AoW3 were really cute. I was hoping AoW4 would retain their aesthetic but I've only seen icons of the new goblins so far and they look a lot more like Gretchen from Warhammer

Goblins got beaten upside the head with a branch from the Ugly Tree this time around. But I'm not complaining, as their in game lore has long described them as being a hideous and vile race.

The true reason why goblin girls have to kidnap their future husbands...

[GrandMajora]

I just watched PotatoMcWhiskey's showcase of the character creator, and he shows off a bit about the goblins towards the end.

At first I had reservations about the goblins looking like a bunch of saggy, old men, with comically large noses. But it appears they have a variety of different appearance options you can pick. Some of them look more like miniature Orcs, while others have a truly monstrous appearance; such as having an oversize mouth full of sharp teeth.

But I also saw in the background units that there were some female goblins who had relatively 'normal' looking features. So if you want your leader to be a cute goblin girl, there may still be hope.

I don't know why the anime decided to cut out the fact the goblins actually communicate with each other, like they do in the manga. Changed their dialogue sections to just be a bunch of random grunts and giggles.

When you actually know what is going on inside their heads, we see that Goblin Slayer's genocidal hatred towards them is perfectly justified. I'll tell you right now that the Goblin Lord was planning to do some full on, Warhammer Grimdark level ♥♥♥♥ with Priestess if she had shown him mercy.

Used to love making bold rogue goblins in AoW3.

Toads are now my thing.
But I should give the gobbo's another go <3

I do love how some of the goblin head types look like straight up nightmare fuel.

yes, and I'm sure it will make for some very amusing diplomacy events in multiplayer.

Goblins have a very... different art direction this time? Like a completely different species compared to AOW3.

Then again i admit, i often played Goblins specifically due to being extremely overpowered in many aspects. Like that +1 production per wetland hex, holey moley

Everything else i've seen about the AOW4 artwork and production value has really exceeded my expectations. Especially the humans and orcs look top notch in this one.
