[Feature Request] Quick Match vs AI mode

Age of Mythology: Retold Discussion
1

I would like to suggest adding a Quick Match vs AI option to Age of Mythology: Retold.

Right now, Quick Match only supports matchmaking against real players. Many players prefer playing co‑op or solo against AI, but the only way to do that is by manually creating custom lobbies.

Both Age of Empires II and Age of Empires IV include a Quick Search vs AI mode, and it’s extremely popular among casual players, newcomers, and people who simply want fast matches without PvP pressure.

A Quick Match vs AI mode in Retold could use the same structure as the existing Quick Match:

  • Game Modes: Standard, Deathmatch, Lightning

  • Team Sizes: 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4

This would make it much easier for players who enjoy AI multiplayer to jump into games quickly, without needing to set up custom lobbies every time.

I believe this feature would greatly improve accessibility and quality of life for a large part of the community, and it would bring Retold in line with the modern RTS standards already established by AoE2 and AoE4.

Thank you for considering this.

I highly agree with this. But I also think they should just remove 1v1, If you want to play 1v1 against AI just go skirmish.

Also they should remove lightning and deathmatch, Or at the very least make standard selection mandatory. Player count wise the game isn’t in a state to accommodate this many game modes. Queue times will be prolonged.

In fact, This should replace the current Quick match system.
