Hello, AoM Community. So, this started off as me talking to my Polynesian partner. We have been playing Age of Mythology since we moved in together but we couldn’t find any Age game that featured Polynesians (maybe I have missed something). So I got to work learning about the source material and–a few ideas here, some AI visuals there–I created this. Hope you enjoy. I spent way to many hours on it but am proud of it because Polynesia is so often overlooked in video games.
NOTE: Portraits of Lono, Laka, Haumea, Ku and Maui were inspired by portraits at Mythlok (Link: https://mythlok.com/world-mythologies/oceanian/polynesian/hawaiian/)

This is pretty good - for me I’d like to see Celts next, Mesopotamians and then Polynesians. It’s a wonderous mythology I know little about, but I know a bob about the history of the Polynesian peoples and it’s very cool, very underrated.

Nice presentation. Feels pretty professional

Nice ideas! My only concern is that some gods seems weak in non-water maps, as their techs are all ship releated

Thanks for looking. Yes, Celts is very popular. Mine is Poly just because it seems absent across the entire Age franchise.
Thanks for feedback. I tried to make sure players could adapt, so most of the water advantages happen with minor gods so players can choose them after they realise what map they’re on. Eg I wouldn’t choose Kamahoali’i if it was a land map.
