Game Launch Loading Screens

Each time you launch the game, you will now see a different image during each launch. Each launch will show one of the following images: the base game background, the Immortal Pillars background, the Heavenly Spear background, the Triptych combining all three, and the Obsidian Mirror background. You can see all of these images below, including the previously unseen official full version of the Triptych!

New Cheat Codes

This patch brings 10 new cheat codes to try out! The new cheat codes mostly require owning the Obsidian Mirror DLC, one cheat requires owning the Premium Edition with the Freyr God Pack, and two cheats require owning the New Gods Pack: Demeter DLC.

The original release of the previous patch notes contained a typo in one of the cheat codes, which should have read “FALKOR” with a “K”. If you missed trying out this cheat during the last update, now is a great time to try that out too!

I’m really happy with the balance changes. The Avenger needed a buff, and Warrior Priests needed a nerf to curb their general-purpose usage. They even fixed the myth unit sacrifice mechanic! It’s good than they read every single one of my posts, haha.

Warrior Priest have 10.5 dps in mythic age and with all armory upgrade. 12 dps is when priest have Mictlantecuhtli’s tech. Now is only a counter for myth units and not a generalist unit.

Atlanteans should also have a unit with homing projectiles vs flying units. The Arcus is already pretty good vs flying units. But in the Classical age, Turma heroes are terrible (even with ballistics) so maybe they should get it.

8

They do, they Just forgot to include them in the list on the patch notes. Try out Hero tuma or Arcus vs flying units

9

Demeter is the worst god atm with only 40.23% winrate from 1400 to 2350 elo.

The rework to Orpheus was unnecessary, I think they should get rid of the ability to boost human units against mu and come up with a whole new gimmick, or alternatively revert the change and make him ranged once again.

10

Orpheus absolutely needs to be ranged again, and the amazons need their divine damage back

11

While I agree that divine damage was fitting, Amazon archer should definitely cost wood and gold like any other human archer in the game, there is no need to make everything about this civ unique for the sake of it.

Now that its divine damage has been removed, there’s hardly anything left that makes her unique compared to a normal archer anyway.

Avengers are still useless. They should get a rework or something.

That’s not the case. If you train at least two or three of them, their area-of-effect abilities make them very dangerous. Bear in mind that they aren’t tank units like the Norse Giant or the Owl; they’re like Shinigami, but for close-quarters combat. They have a special ability with a range of 3…

14

The fact that they are melee makes them in range of all sorts of counters…
