Classic wonder victory conditions should still be available

Age of Mythology: Retold Discussion

The whole concept of a wonder is that it’s the pinnacle of your civilization that must be defended against enemies. This has been a feature of this franchise from the beginning, so it’s a shame to lose it in Retold. the Wonder Age mechanic essentially turns it into an offensive weapon of conquest which loses the plot imo. That’s all very well as an option but it would be nice to be able to play the classic way where defending the wonder could get pretty intensely challenging.

Call me nostalgic, but I would very much like to play an old school wonder defense. The wonder age thing could still be an option similar to the wonder race mode in AoE2. An option to filter out wonders altogether in conquest mode would also be welcome, as they were never part of that victory setting before.

Classic wonder is sleeper mode.

Dont you basically destroy everything once you complete your Wonder…? Its the same idea, defend your Wonder until its complete, then you win the game, no?

No, you defend the wonder after it is finished. That’s the whole idea of a wonder. The great pyramid of Giza is one of the seven wonders of the ancient world and a symbol of Egyptian civilization. The bricks that they made it out of were not.

It’s not for everyone but that’s why different victory settings exist.

So you want them to change from 5400 seconds to build the Wonder to the old 1800 seconds + 10 minutes to “activate” the Wonder Age? It would be the same result but you will defend your completed wonder instead of the building of it.
