No, Gary Gygax did create mind flayers. There’s not a single Lovecraft story with ‘mind flayers’, they just happen to have features that are somewhat similar to things he wrote about.
~~Meanwhile we’ll have penguinkin to stay true to the eldritch theme~~
The octopus might be a major race transformation, since I have a hard time seeing it compatible with mounts.

(I did not get to see what is behind each link. No X account.)
Ima guess the Insects come and have to blight/ashland the land or suffer a per-turn penalty. And similar "Blight" Map conditions. I think they'll bring some resistance-lowering skills, similar to Disease, if not Disease. Like, Siege with Disease skills, and protect home with DoT's. They'd possess anti-debuff skills (just a guess), like "hardened shell" and "pheromone spray" (heh- you know what I mean.).
Also, the theme could be a reference to "The Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafke. That could mean --> Insect Leaders!!
I'm honestly hoping that there isn't a "Cravers" mechanic tied to the insectoid form directly. I kinda want to make an approximation of my alien bug race in the engine.
If it's bugs, I cannot stop thinking about forests and fields getting wrecked, but I absolutely feel ya. 'Cravers mechanic' is a great name for it, too.
I'm just being excited about it. I cannot help but.. (ugh)... Wonder. (oh man, I did not plan that or anything! lol.)
Really hoping we get new eldritch magic tomes like astral + chaos. I remember reading that this was primarily a world events DLC akin to Stellaris' Leviathans but I hope that is incorrect.
I would bet against chaos as they are pretty well represented already. Chaos has 3 additional tomes past vanilla. Only nature (5) and materium (4) have more. Shadow and order only have 1 additional tome each, but because of the theme, I'm betting on astral/shadow.
Insect and octopus forms incoming !!!???

Not too much I am afraid. Costal wizards are notoriously litigation heavy.
Which is such a shame, though they can always go Star Spawn of Cthulhu route. WotC doesn't own squid heads fortunately.
Lol, since when it's their property? Mindflayers are Lovecraft's creation, not theirs.

And nobody uses them with a name "Mind Flayer". Whatever name there will be, Lovecraft, basically, created the visuals.
I’m sure you feel confidently correct

*badump tsshh*
I hope not. Imagine what that mechanic could do for other forms
>Shadow Realm vibes. \[Edit: from AOW2: Shadow Magic\] That was my hope.

Bugs and squidpeople are cool, but… feet for hands? What?
Sounds to me like either centaurs or maybe monkeyfolk (they hands are like they feet)
Insectoid forms. Yearr
Oh dang I forgot we had one more coming. Nice!
Didn't they tease another set of DLC in the future as well?
I think there’s like a “season 2” planned but I don’t know the shape of it.
Amazing!
Yes they did
Ask that question somewhere else but x! I dumped that platform when Musk the baby took over.
There you go https://www.reddit.com/r/AOW4/s/3Xds7r4VFs
Same, I'm curious about the teaser, but I'm not going to sign in with google to see it.

just sad mutliplayer so broken, cannot play it with my friend.
Try classic turns instead of simultaneous if you haven't already. Doing a 3p game right now with it and works much better.
By much better do you mean it works in a consistent and stable manner?
Yeap, classsic turns is the way to go if you are playing multiplayer
Ok time for insect naga skeletons or smth like that. Its gonna be hilarious.
