Post by: Jubal on August 23, 2010, 09:57:30 AM: Best game in the series, if only because I can create massive dwarf armies of doom.

Post by: Cuddly Khan on June 09, 2011, 02:10:13 AM: I like getting lots of archers.

Post by: Cuddly Khan on June 10, 2011, 04:13:30 PM: Archers for me. Titans hate archers. :P (Expansion)

Title: Re: Age Of Mythology
Post by: Cuddly Khan on July 02, 2014, 01:52:42 PM: Yes, you must. What I always loved about AoM was the Migration map. It's so much better than the Migration map in AoE2.

Post by: Son of the King on July 02, 2014, 07:15:20 PM: I heard rumour of a "HD remake" a while back, don't know if it has been released.

Post by: Cuddly Khan on July 02, 2014, 09:38:15 PM: :o I want!
Title: Re: Age Of Mythology
Post by: Jubal on October 13, 2014, 08:51:43 PM: Been playing a fair bit of AoM lately.

Keep getting annoyed with the AI though, I dislike game AIs that don't play pseudorationally.

Which is to say, 5 way all vs all, hard mode. The AI apparently hates me so much that they sent significant armies of 15-20 guys to hunt down my like 3 remaining villagers harmlessly woodcutting, AND another force with freaking flamethrowers to pull down the walls that I wasn't even using any more. This in favour of ignoring the giant Greek army that still had a healthy titan, huge force of hoplites, and multiple siege engines.

It has, it's called Age of Mythology Extended Edition.

Post by: Jubal on September 08, 2015, 11:38:04 AM: Is there anything different beyond the graphics?
Title: Re: Age Of Mythology
Post by: Othko97 on September 08, 2015, 11:43:02 AM: I think there's a new campaign, there's also fancy lighting effects and shadows. But other than that nothing obvious.
Title: Re: Age Of Mythology
Post by: Jubal on September 08, 2015, 12:02:33 PM: Mmkay. Probably won't bother then.
Title: Re: Age Of Mythology
Post by: Othko97 on September 08, 2015, 12:13:01 PM: It was on offer when I got it, I wouldn't pay full price.
Title: Re: Age Of Mythology
Post by: Son of the King on October 13, 2015, 06:00:11 PM: In case people haven't heard yet, there is a new expansion (http://www.twitch.tv/twitch/v/6314795?t=2h49m19s) coming!
Title: Re: Age Of Mythology
Post by: Jubal on October 16, 2015, 02:17:39 PM: Ooh - any guesses on what the new mythology is? Could be Mesopotamian perhaps? Or Slavic*?

* I would love it to be slavic, because I want a vampire squash godpower.

Post by: Jubal on November 08, 2015, 12:19:11 AM: Mmkay, interesting. Will be good to see what the new Myth Units are like :)
Title: Re: Age Of Mythology
Post by: Clockwork on November 08, 2015, 03:07:50 PM: Through a quick search I'm led to believe probably dragons, Oni-type things (chinese have their own). The lion-esque looking statues they have might make an appearance as well. They also might have a clam-monster and probably a turtle. And found a headless warrior Xing Tian.
Title: Re: Age Of Mythology
Post by: Jubal on November 08, 2015, 03:32:04 PM: I should get more familiar with Chinese myths really, I've got an introductory book somewhere.

Post by: Clockwork on January 29, 2016, 11:20:21 AM: New expac launched yesterday http://steamcommunity.com/games/266840/announcements/detail/988906472304501233 (http://steamcommunity.com/games/266840/announcements/detail/988906472304501233)

EDIT: Although apparently it's broken as portugal.
