Age of Mythology II Poll

I hope for a retelling of a Chinese adventure with our heroes Arkantos, Ajax and the others. Really missed those guys in the Tale of the dragon campaign!

Let me pitch my AoM2 concept:

Favour

Favour works a bit more like AoE3 XP as there are multiple ways to gain it. Every god gives you boni on one way of gaining it. Odin for example gives you more for fighting.
God Powers, Mythological Units and Mythological Technologies only cost favour.
The Pantheon works similar to an AoE3 home city just that choosing the gods decides what cards you get.

God Cards

The gods you choose on Age up decide which cards you get.
Cards are either a “shipment” of mythological units, technologies or give you a god power. Depending on the god power it will either trigger automatically or give you a big button for it. Resource Shipments might exist but they are not the norm.
Some of them might be send multiple or infinite times.
The cost in favour for those cards grow like in AoE3 but the growth is limited, there is a fixed max cost.

Ages

Every civilisation has 5 ages. In Age 1 you don’t have a god yet nor can you build any military units.
You Age up by building a Temple/Shrine/Monument for your chosen god. The god you chose for Age 2 is your main god that will appear next to your Town Centre too.
Aging up doesn’t always give you one god power and one mythological unit, the benefits depend on the god. Sometimes the building you build has a long term bonus like slowly training a weak mythological unit or just a favour tickle.
Age 5 is special as it gives you infinitely resendable versions of the mythological unit shipment of all previously chosen gods and it unlocks the wonder and the ability to build a very powerful Mythological Unit (Titan of Greeks). The gods that you choose for Age 5 are also the most powerful ones and give the strongest boni.
If wonder victory is disabled, the wonder gives you a strong bonus instead. The wonder depends on your first chosen good (Age 2).
The name of the Ages depend on Civilisation.
Stone Age, Bronze Age, Silver Age, Golden Age and Titan Age for the Greeks for example.
The Egyptians something like Old Kingdom, Middle Kingdom and New Kingdom.

Civilisations

Every civilisation has their own Techttree. But they will follow the same formula. Not as extreme where Egyptian buildings where free while Norse Gatherers can’t build anything but farms. Norse infantry might still be able to build military buildings though.
Also every civilisation has a unique way of getting favour or a bonus on a common wa, like every civilisation gets some favour for fighting but the Norse get more or Greeks get more for sacrificing livestock while Indians get it for letting it live.
Every civilisations will have 3 subversions with small differences (smaller than in AoM) and maybe a unique unit or technology.
Sub civilisations are different cities or groups in a civilisation. For example the Greeks would get Athens, Sparta and Thebes. The Germanics would get Norse, South (Germans) and East (Goths). The Mesopotamians would get Babylonians, Assyrians and Sumerians.

Resources

Stone is back! So the 4 classic resources plus favour that works kinda like XP in AoE3.

I would like to see more of antiquity but with more modern game design. As well as prequel and sequel campaigns such as Arkantos’s early career (he’s implied to have had quite a lot of adventures already) or Amanra’s rise to become queen of Nubia.

I’d prefer stories with real mythological characters.
The original AoM campaign used some famous mythological figures, especially around the Trojan War story like Ajaxs but some where original character like Arkantos.
There are enough known heroes and there are multiple versions of their stories anyway so it’s not like it’s not canon if you make your own, that was already done in ancient times where like the Romans decided that one guy from Troy definitely made his way to Italy.

No reason real mythical characters can’t be in those kinds of stories. Arkantos adventuring with Jason and the Argonauts and meeting Herakles for example.

AoM 2 can be a soft reboot if you want stories from real mythological characters.

What do you mean by this?

Chernobog is evil in all Slavic cultures :slight_smile:

Material muy interesante para “Age of Mythology Definitive Edition” o “Age of Mythology II”…

He mandado la siguiente info. a “MayorceteGaming”, “Pero eso es otra Historia” , “Universidad Age of Mythology” y “Age of Empires” (Muy interesante la colaboración entre vosotros 4) ¿Qué os parece a “Age of Empires” y “Microsoft”?:
…para conseguir ampliar y mejorar el “Age of Mythology”, su futura versión/es “Age of Mythology Definitive Edition” o un “Age of Mythology II”:
Hola, Creo aquí habría mucho material interesante para “Age of Mythology Definitive Edition” o un “Age of Mythology II”… un resumen de muchísimas mitologías… aunque falta más de (interesante la serie “Gargoyles, héroes mitológicos” de 1994) África, Oceanía/Pacifico, Oriente, Nativos Americanos del Norte, etc… incluso una evolución a mitos actuales e incluso urbanos… o s. XIX, etc… tipo Steampunk, Teslapunk, Ciberpunk, etc, etc… y demás retro-futurismos utópicos o distópicos… rollo ucronía para definir distintas edades de evolución, influenciado por creencias populares, la literatura, cine/series, internet, etc… no sé si ya conocías el canal en YouTube “Pero eso es otra Historia” y sus videos sobre mitologías… como su lista de reproducción, “Extra 03 - Mitología y Leyendas de la Historia del Mundo (serie documental)” ) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_dxNDksLciCAnRVR08pppk0njUcSBg2u (… sería interesante que alguien les hiciese llegar con certeza esta información a los desarrolladores de videojuegos en Microsoft… Un saludo y gracias.

P.D: En mi perfil de FilmAffinity, VictorAE87 ) Listas de VictorAE87 - FilmAffinity (; tengo varias listas completas, pendientes o en proceso sobre literatura y cine, mitología y cine, diseño/creatividad y cine, documentales, retro-futurismos, etc… a mayores las herramientas de la web, con sus marcadores/topics o temas, géneros, grupos y elenco, etc… para agrupar y encontrar todo el material de documentación que se quiera…
Aparte de Joseph Campbell en su libro “El héroe de las mil caras”, no olvides “Las máscaras de Dios”, Libro de Joseph Campbell y su obra. Ni “Morfología del cuento”, Libro de Vladímir Propp. Ni “El deporte rey” y “El mono desnudo”, Libros de Desmond Morris&Ramona Baulch Morris y su obra. Ni “Armas, gérmenes y acero”, Libro de Jared Diamond y su obra.

A mayores ya más como ampliación, menos entretenida: Cualquiera de la obra de Noam Chomsky o de Byung-Chul Han, además de “Educación para la ciudadanía” - Akal de Pedro Fernández Liria entre otros y el resto de libros relacionados… o “Falsedad en tiempos de guerra” de Arthur Ponsonby y Yolanda Morató… o también “La muchedumbre: un estudio de la mente popular”, Libro de Gustave Le Bon y su obra, etc… otros similares…

Un saludo y gracias… bonito sueño no crees…
