I know Tale of the Dragon gets a really bad rap, and in many ways it deserves it. But I still liked the fact that after 15 years, it sparked new excitement in a classic game. Who knows, without Forgotten Empires testing the waters with their crappy amateur mod, they might have never realised how much hunger there was a a remake of classic AoM.
There was also a lot I liked about TotD. It introduced me to Chinese mythology, which atheistically has become on of my favourite. The God Powers were fun, some of the myth units were interesting and the art from the God Portraits was more consistent than the ones we get today. I am secretly hoping they bring back some more elements of it with the fourth Chinese god. I’d love to see Monkey Kings or Earth Dragons in battle again as a nod to this expansion. However, I realised that Forgotten Empires probably wants this version to die a quiet death so they can distance themselves from the disastrous fallout.
Interestingly, if you look at the mod finder, modders ported the TotD campaign to Retold, and it’s very good and very well adapted (I even got 3 Chinese achievements with it xd)…
F in the chat…
Yes, it looks more like a paint festival than a bloody battle…
Just out of curiosity did this release in China?
Chinese players already discussing the pack on Tieba forum, with more details than what’s being discussed here:
So much for “100% sure“ Lol.
