Atlantean pillars, torches, and Military Barracks ruins. The same shot has chinese pillars on the other side of the image and we see chinese barracks ruins later in the trailer, so they’re probably not placeholders. Though they might also be just for the trailer and not featured in the actual campaign.
Major goddess statues. Seem to be Nüwa due to the snake tail.
Male major god. Appears to have tiny horns. So Shennong?
Or maybe they have both, unique and generic heroes? Just less unique ones then the Greeks.
Or the trailer just show a unique hero multiple times.
Maybe it’s just for the trailer but we’ll see.
That would mean the Chinese campaign has more Atlanteans in it then the Fall of the Trident that has multiple missions literally taking part in Atlantis.
The campaign might be about the Yellow Emperor. The two Titan sized units are likely Tingxian and Chiyou, enemies of the yellow emperor (Chiyou is already confirmed as a summonable god). And the pillar at the end of the trailer has Oracle Bone script on it. Which fits since the Yellow Emperor lived in around 3000 BC.
The buildings and units look much more like what I would imagine “mythical ancient China” to look like.
The footage seems chaotic most of the time, so it’s difficult to tell what’s going on, besides “Big Battle”
Was the thing in one of the Screenshots a mongol yurt?
Looked like yurts to me on that screenshot, but they’re blurry, so I could be wrong.
The way they were placed on that screenshot, they seemed like dropoff points to me, for villagers chopping wood. Again, judging from what I’ve seen on a single blurry image. Not blurry enough for it to be a rock, though.
here i shoping the devs are wise enough to not have the chinese campaign be exlcusively chinese vs chinese, even just one or two missions against diferent opponents can help make the mission stand out and break what otherwise could be monotony
anyone got a screenshot of the turtle dragon thing? It looks like amphebious, there is a brief shot of it walking out of the water and we have several shots of it both on land and in the water. Looks like the titans wont be the only ones with that ability. Slightly worried this is going to be their heroic age water unit and they just get two myth units in that age. Although I do expect the devs to account for that.
But I hope they go with the route where Atlanteans are all over the place so they can connect with all other Pantheons on future connected campaigns, so they make Aztecs while having Atlanteans comming there.
I don’t like it though for one simple reason:
They are Atlanteans not Pacifians or something.
They should only appear in places around the Atlantic not on the other side of the planet.
So yes they could perfectly fit into an Aztec campaign but I don’t think they should sail all the way around Africa or South America to get to China.
There is no Suez Canal in the AoM universe, right?
Pretty sure they’d go with underworld passages / sky passages to justify connections like that. esp. because those can be ‘ancient’ themselves. Maybe it’s an expedition East from Egypt. Maybe they’re not going to be involved at all and it’s just decorative.
Either way, they’ve got a lot of options and even if it’s purely Chinese vs Chinese there’s ample room for good execution. I love what seems to be the core of what they’re basing the campaign off of, judging from the trailer—since you don’t see it much in other media compared to more recent periods.
Guys. The Video description mentioned Nüwa, Chiyou, Nüba (differet goddess, despite similar name) and Yinglong.
Chiyou is the six armed. bull headed war-god, so the “titan” guy that exists in at least two sizes. Yinglong is the big, winged Dragon.
