The blue player have 210 of max population, and It seems that he has 2 TCs.
With 2 TCs, the max pop you could get in old aom is 140.

In the minute 48:04 they talk about a new age: the Wonder Age, which lets the god powers be used more often

Also, it is interesting to say that the son of osiris god power costs 350 favor, as you can see from the minutes 44:25 to 44:31.

The new models are just perfect! I can’t wait to play this game. I’m hyped for the legacy god portraits too!

You can also notice that after using the god power, its cost increased to 400. Very interesting.

they say in the interview they are already multiple times usable but in the new age you mentioned they are just as a cheaper cost that you can use them even more often it seems. but good point.

also herdable animals are getting visually fat now. xD

What an interesting interview! I cannot remember the god powers costing anything to use in the original game? Is this a new resource they are adding into Retold to balance it out now when we can cast the god powers multiple times?

seems like it yes. as far as i understood its like this:

  • first use is free
  • more uses costs a high price
  • if you get to the wonder age godpowers are reduced in price significantly to be used more often

And I’m guessing that the god powers will cost favour to cast. This could be a balancing nightmare due to the different ways each pantheon have to gain it, some easier than others. Also, the big god powers that are OP has to have big cooldown or cost a lot of favour. Interesting but also worried it will get out of hand.

Build limit for egyptian villagers: 100

How many could you build in the original game?

The build limit for laborers is 80 in EE.

i agree i assume that aswell. i really hope, if thats the case, they change the favour system a bit at least for atlanteans cause gaining favour through TCs is just hmmmm

Maybe “recasting god powers” is such a popular request, but they don’t want to shake the original balancing too much so they added a huge cost to it.
I think the first cast should still be free, second has a steep increase in favor cost, and later more gradual.

But they want us to use powers more often so they can’t make them too expensive then it’ll be just the same as before, so they have to find a proper balance for this.

I think the easiest way to balance this is, the most powerful powers have longer cooldown, but the favour does not increase that much, and considering we can age into the wonder age I assume the favour cost won’t be an issue in the late game.

I love the old school god icons upscaled and upgraded. Finally Gaia that looks like a goddess of life and not Groot’s mother.

but you will have to pay for them right?

Anyone else notice they changed the name of Petsuchos to Petsobek?
