It sounds like normal skirmish but with “twists” on top?
Or is it something completely different?
I hope it IS skirmish but with twists. But I think meta-progression where you slowy get upgrades for your faction will not be present.
It reminded me of Starcraft 2 campaigns… I hope they are like that 
Age 2 Battle for Greece DLC that will be like Starcraft 2 campaigns, not this one.
How did Gaia’s character become the same as the BETA version? It looks weird and a bit ugly. I thought this mode would be like the co-op mode of StarCraft 2, but it only has one hero character, and it sounds like you can’t randomly match with others, and the hero has no levels? It’s a bit disappointing. Many people think it’s a mode like the co-op mode of StarCraft 2, but it doesn’t seem to be related to the co-op mode.
So many questions.
Will it use random maps with triggers (like historical maps in AoE3) so it can automatically scale depending on player numbers or are those pre made scenarios?
If they are random, then how random? Like is it a practically fixed layout with tiny variations or will it actually feel different to play each time?
I feel like Battle for Greece is more like AoM campaign than anything.
Did they say how many players can play together ?
I remember seeing up to 4 players somewhere but can’t find it anymore.
And the new annoncement says “join a friend” now instead of “join your friends”.
Hope it didn’t get limited to 2 players
I saw a guy talking about the beta files that had arena of the gods files on it, and he said it will be a skirmisher match with random modifiers on it.
So by what I understand it will be like starcraft 2 co-op but like this:
- There is Kastor and another new character (because its 2 players)
- You play a sequence of Skirmisher matches that have random modifiers on it (by the announce page we already know this, they talk about epic skirmishers and world twists)
- You get blessing every match that give you bonuses (like the listed in the announcement)
- The enemy AI will have the modifiers that make them stronger and so late matches they have more modifiers and more AI. (guy said there is around 40 modifiers)
- So while you start as 1x1 as a normal match, later it will be against multiple AI with modifiers while you have many bonuses you got by the previous matches.
Someone said its like Northguard Conquest mode. I did not played it, so I watched a youtube video and it sounds EXACTLY like northguard conquest mode.
So if people want to know how the mode will be, just look at Conquest mode that Northguard have.
Where you saw this…? I’m pretty sure it always mentioned you and another player. It will be 100% only 2 players.
They will probably release a new “season” once or twice a year
I’m wondering as to why they delayed Arena of the Gods.
I’m wondering why they don’t release new missions slowy every week instead of everything at once.
Most likely it wasn’t ready because of things not all working as intended.
