Discuss Major Goddess Frigg
This Friday (Frigg’s day) I bring you a surprise, my first mod for AoM: Retold. I hope this mod brings some fun to players while we wait for the new Chinese DLC.
Long live Age of Mythology! Long live Age of Empires 3!

I tried it last night, and while I love the concept, it is just too OP and broken when it comes to balance and modifiers.
Also, the lack of exporting and importing 3D models really hurts the modding community, I cannot figure why they just won’t give us simple tools for 3D management. Our mods would be so much better…
I also think that this mod needs a more appropriate balance, so I’m hoping for feedback and suggestions from the community, because I could hardly balance this mod properly on my own, it requires a lot of testing just like it is done with the official major gods and civilizations.
Besides better support for external models, a better implementation for additive data mods is also required, with a good reference document, because for example I need to add hotkeys for all the new stuff I’ve added. I hope that the new Immortal Pillars DLC comes with better support for mods. As you say, these improvements need to happen soon for the mod community to flourish.
I have a bugg, the first time I restart up the game to load in frigg, it works and I can play her faction. But every time I start the game up after that it closes again and says that there is a bugg(this pop up thing from bugsplat which i’ve never seen before). I like the new faction but it is now the case that I have to remove the mod manually by going in to my files, or else I won’t be able to play the game at the second start up. (don’t know if more people have this problem and can’t fix it and now aren’t able to play the game anymore).
no I don’t use any other mods with yours, even when I deselect your mod in the first start up then this will still happen, unless i don’t repload your mod.
I played a couple rounds tho and it’s a good mod love that someone is adding new major gods to the game, she is a bit strong in my opinion but overall fun. (I hope you make many more).
I’m sorry to put it here but I didn’t know where else to place a bug report.(sadly there isn’t a steam workshop where this can be discussed).
Don’t worry, it’s okay to write this here because other people may have the same problem, so this is the right place. I’ve tried to reproduce the bug you’re talking about, but without success. With the “Immortal Pillars” expansion, some major code change may have occurred, so I’m investigating to see if I can reproduce that bug and fix it. I’m also interested in any feedback that will help me better balance this mod. And yes, I’m currently working on more similar mods for AOM-R and AOE3.
Let me know if you know of any specific way to cause that bug (performing an action, researching a tech, etc.) or if installing the mod is enough to cause it to occur.
This was already before the IPE and was still going on now, I don’t know the cause yet. It’s just having your mod installed and then failung to open the game a second time.

I’m also getting crash to desktop errors with this mod installed. I’m able to play skirmish just fine, but the game crashes when trying to load campaign scenarios. I’ve had to disable the mod.
Apart from that, I really like the mod, but the Dwarven Forge artifacts seems a bit overly complicated.
