The Mythic Age Game Production Team:
Hello, I am a player of the mythical era from China, I am very excited to write this email to you, I hope you can see it. By the way, my English level is not very good, so this letter is probably translated by me with software.
First of all, I would like to thank you for your hard work and bringing back such a wonderful game. When I was very young, I was already exposed to the Age of the Empire series, and the mythological age is undoubtedly one of them.
So as a Chinese player, I wrote this email to give you some advice —— about the Chinese gods of the mythological era, dlc.
The legend of the dragon dlc is a very failed dlc, although I understand that this dlc is not in your hands, because the original dlc is full of arrogance, short-sighted, and disrespect for Chinese culture. I have to say that even now, many Chinese players are still angry about this dlc. China is a very strange country, and we have the most atheists in the world, but that doesnt mean that we dont believe in God. Chinese atheism is reflected in the religious religion of Chinese people, but the Chinese people still yearn for and respect their own myths. For the Chinese people, myth is more about the inheritance and emergence of Chinese culture, and the Chinese people are inherited by civilization and culture.
Therefore, the ridicule and malicious arrangement of Chinese mythology in the original dlc, and the shoddy original drawings, are the reasons for the anger of Chinese players.
I was happy to hear that the production team would remake the Chinese dlc, and everyone was satisfied that the production team respected the Chinese players.
But in order to prevent possible misunderstandings, I would like to tell you about the myth of China.
The first thing I hope you can know is that in Chinese mythology, the status of the gods is not high. They do not, like foreign gods, have fixed duties and divine power. Of course, we also have gods like “Yuesao” who are in charge of marriage, but most powerful gods do not actually have fixed duties and divine power. They are more powerful.
The Chinese gods are not similar to Zeus, the god created like Odin, but like the Osiris of Egypt, was originally human, because of the great achievements, and was missed by the Chinese people, in the legend into a god-like totem. Yes, just like God, as I said, in China, gods status is actually not very high.
I hope the production team can try their best to understand Chinese culture and legends, and make a really good dlc that is close to Chinese culture and respects Chinese tradition. Chinese people treat their culture with great respect and love, and they will spare no effort to support a work that promotes and promotes their own culture, such as the recent popular black myth, or the shock Dan made in the previous medieval Warhammer series.
Of course, I understand that the dlc of the mythical era needs more information in reality than the earthquake.
So if you need my help, please write it back to me, and I will do my best to tell you about the legend of China.
I am just a Chinese player who loves the mythological era, and Chinese players hope to see the Chinese civilization close to reality and respect our culture in the game. Thanks again to the hard work of the production team, and I feel that you love the quality of the game. So I really dont want to be hit again by the “Legend of the Dragon” dlc. It was a complete joke, and even now, players in the age of Chinese mythology still see the dlc as a shame and a joke.
For the Chinese, insulting Chinese culture is like tearing up the Bible in front of devout Christians.
I hope that the production team can produce an excellent Chinese dlc, and I also hope that you can experience the humanistic connotation and cultural heritage of Chinese legends in this process.
An ordinary Chinese player
