I’m very happy for the changes; but the most important thing is definitely a performance boost. This game runs like a penguin on lava! Especially longer games, where it straight up just crashes at times.
The balance changes are not a big deal because we can mod our own balance for single player and local; while multiplayer is simply broken in Steam due to the performance issues.
I can’t wait for a definite edition; with better visuals and performance.
AoM and AoE4 have different developers. They don’t affect each other.
this patch destroyed the monks, i think they are almost useless now they are totally useless, and what they did to cronos it is very op! Hades should have a bonus damage to arrow ships since he is weaker in water maps and good with archers and arrow buildings. Perseus do not petrify flying units. criosphinx upgrade says increase atk and hp but actualy increases only hp.
I used to get these Glitches before as well. See Meteor God Power. When it hits the ground or Water, it turns black and makes these weird choppy orb around it. Looks like some texture is missing or some sort of graphical glitch. I saw some AOM Streams online and this problem doesn’t happens in their game. Is something wrong with the game or my Computer?
Also, breath from Frost Giant only solidifies the unit and doesn’t Snows up around it, like it should.
This happens everywhere, In cinematics, gameplay, Editor.
a aceleração do fu xi em torre e castelo ficou mais cara ao inves de mais barato,algumas coisas não mensionadas: reinforce não funciona mais no general, chu ko nu atira uma unica flecha, cinco grãos tem efeito reduzido no fuxi 42> correto= 37 , Geyser é muito ruim e fraco,salamandra tambem taipa é horrivel muito caro e só aumenta 10% hp das construçoes hades é 25% arredondado pra cima,criosfinge diz que aumenta o ataque e vida mas aumenta só a vida, escrita em ossos é muito cara.
the acceleration of fu xi in tower and castle became more expensive instead of cheaper, some unmentioned things: reinforce no longer works in general, chu ko nu shoots a single arrow, five grains has reduced effect on fuxi 42> correct = 37 Geyser is very bad and weak, salamander also mud is horrible very expensive and only increases 10% hp from buildings hades is 25% rounded up, cryospinx says increases attack and life but only increases life, written in bones is very face.

The upgrade does increase their attack as well as HP. You can see exactly what it does in the techtree file if you’re interested.
True i don have cheked.thanks
Feedback from someone who plays AoM only solo:
Cool stuff! Some thoughts I have for the new patch. These are the biggest things in my opinion. Mainly performance issues with the major balance problems. Some of these I noticed already on the list, but I’ll add them on my list anyway for support of it.
-Chinese transport ship teleporting units anywhere on the map with LOS glitch
-I would like to see the team ranked games become more popular by being able to pick your teammates.
-Being able to host a rated game and pick your opponent. This will help higher ranked players find games faster than waiting 30+ minutes
-Bring back “most used god” in the ranked ladder from ESO days
-When hosting games, have a clickable option for a rating restriction so beginner or expert players can’t join certain rooms. This will help beginner players enjoy playing/exploring the game instead of getting destroyed 7 minutes into the game.
-Desync bug during rated games causing both players to lose rank
-Goldmine spawns need to be further out so booming gods don’t have such a huge advantage
-Fish and hunt spawns need to be fair. For example, on Midgard one player gets 4-6 fish right near their tc and the other gets 1-2 with the other 4-5 spots being much further away. For hunt, sometimes it will spawn surrounded by trees or on a mountain.
-Have mercenaries cost population instead of reducing their time. Being able to attack and defend in 2 different locations can be overwhelming to any other civilization
-Make siege unable to garrison inside a roc
-Have roc, levianthan, and transport ship vulnerable to bolt and traitor when they’re empty
It’s good to see lots of the data file errors fixed, although there are still many left. Here are some of the main mistakes that still haven’t been fixed:
There are also some inconsistencies between your patch notes and the changes made. I don’t know if the mistake is in the change or the note.
Monk conversion rate increased by 20% .
Frost God Power no longer affects Immortals.
Reduced the health of Fortified Wall technology from +500 → +300 hp .
Focus: Now increases the Oracle (Hero) Hack attack bonus from 0% → 20% , their health bonus from 0% → 15% , and their movement speed bonus from 0% → 20% .
Monks: Increased the base Convert time on human soldiers from 6 → 11 seconds, the minimum Convert time from 6 → 9 seconds
Bolt: Reduced the bonus damage dealt to the Son of Osiris from +2% → =3% .
There are also quite a few changes made in the patch that aren’t listed in the patch notes, which don’t fall under the general minor changes notes. These are the main ones:
Could we also get some fixes plaguing the Chinese faction, they have a broken animation for the female villagers collecting resources and both Male and female villagers have bugged arrows when shooting hunt, their wonders and castles dont have progressively building structure models, their titan spawns out side the titan gate for a split second before doing the climbing annimation, the wheels on the sitting tigers and the onager grow and shrink whilst moving, their fire ship has no launch point set for where its projectiles come from, their transport ships flags dont follow the debris when destroyed,essentially showing wierd floating flags, their max age guard towers have a different annimation for their texture while firing and all their units dont have decay animations, or have bugged death animations like the war chariot or the vermilion bird, please attempt to fix these bugs

This one is DM only.
Great post, will make sure the devs see this.
I have no idea how I managed to do this, but I caught a peasant trying to gather meat from a pig which was already so used up that there was no corpse left.
Thanks for this huge patch. There’s a frustrating game-ending bug with an easy consistent repro that would be great to fix. Each time a spider lure is triggered in sudden death mode, it starts the endgame countdown timer.
I’ve got a savegame right before the behaviour is triggered so it’s easy to see:
Note how the endgame countdown gets triggered even though the player has town centres.
This bug has existed in all versions of the extended edition game I’m aware of (but not the original AOM I don’t think). It makes sudden death mode unplayable on random mode - you need to make sure no-one has the god with that power.
Thanks for all the hard work
Thanks a lot for the new patch!
Is there any way add you can add option to set the display refresh rate in the game? It seems to force 60Hz if I enable full screen mode (which seems to be necessary to use Freesync/Gsync and further reduce stuttering). I can force the game to use my monitor’s refresh rate(240Hz) by adding
renderRefresh(240)
to game.con, but I think it would be better if the game had an option in the UI to set this instead of using always using 60Hz.
Thanks again for the recent improvements!
More, because I’m making the most of this weekend…
