Issues I see so far

Age of Mythology: Retold Discussion
1

The following is a list of issues I’ve seen while playtesting the beta. I’m being critical because I love Age of Mythology.

  • Jittering in cut scene.

  • Dialog in cut scenes is skipping.

  • Arkantos’ voice actor is a no. He doesn’t sound like a seasoned general. He sounds like a pretty boy. He needs to be more commanding and grough. The accent also sounds more Spanish than Greek.

  • Pronunciation of some of the names is wrong. Keep the pronunciation for the orginal games.

  • More sound options. Please make sperate sliders for things like sound effects, voices, narration, etc.

  • There seems to be less building freedom.

  • The buy/sell value in the market is covering the icons. It makes it hard to see what each button does.

  • The text when hovering over an icon is way too small. If there is an option to change this I couldn’t find it.

  • Too difficult to see the blue teams Health bar status. It’s all just black.

  • When a group of units is selected you don’t see their health bar under their icons.

  • When a group of units is selected you can’t click on a specific units icon to select them out of the group.

  • Text is hard to read.

  • Garrison point flag vanishing. When I place a garrison flag I see it for all of 1/2 a second and then it vanishes… Maybe this is a setting I missed but it should be on by default if their is.

To add to the sound

  • Sound balancing is a bit off, the intro tutorial mission I couldn’t hear Athena over the sound of the fighting.
  • Odysseus’s voice also seemed quiet.

And some nitpicky UI things:

  • Would like to see Mouse-wheel scrolling work on the horizontal tech-tree
  • Is it possible to shrink the Tech tree down a bit horizontally? It seems very large, especially compared to the old tree that fit on 1 screen.
  • Major God descriptions should be a few pixels higher, there is enough room to display 6 lines of text without it. There are gods that need a scroll bar, and others that shouldn’t require it to view their 6th line.
  • Clicking on a Tech-tree icon should bring up it’s full page (from the Treasury), allowing us to see full details and stats for units.
  • Treasury pages for gods should list their related myth units and techs, and allow us to click to go to that page similar to the old history tab, vs the new.
  • Buildings show the units they train, and allow us to view those units pages, but not the technologies.
  • Treasury page should have a Back button similar to the old History tab in AoM allowing easier browsing.
  • Unit info page in-game and in the treasury should display full info such as bonus damage like the Expanded Tooltips mod for AoMEE.

＞Hathor replaced with Sobek
Who tf asked for this?

5

The main issue I tried several hours with my friend is the game will always error close in multiplay.

6

Maybe I’m blind but I didn’t see anything telling the player how they changed the auto-queue. I played for 6 hours before I found out you right click. Maybe add something about it in the tutorial or something?

What? That happened? They couldnt have just ADDED Sobek as a minor god?!

8

they could but petsuchos aka petsobek fits sobek way way better.

just calm your ####### mates. i bet hathor will come back as an expension like this new freyr god pack with a new more fitting myth unit.

i honestly just don’t understand why they could do that change, but couldn’t replace hera so she can be (finally and way more fitting) major god…
