When Blood pack will be available?

Wow I’m excited to try out the new stuff. The Lycoan sounds interesting. I wonder if it can gather resources? I hope the enemy sees it exactly as a normal villager until it transforms.

The Hamadryad sounds fun to use. Kinda reminds me of a mirage tank from RA2. I wonder how it will steal resources?

Communal Hearth sounds cool as well. I wonder if it only affect human units or (hopefully) myth units as well? I’d be surprised if it worked on heroes though. Sounds like it’s a building that increases resource gather rate on the vicinity. As well as increase building HP maybe. Wonder if the capturing happens slowly within the radius?

Underworld Invasion reminds me of Ragnarok. You sacrifice your economy to create one massive push to hopefully kill your enemy. I wonder if this includes enemy units that have died or just your own? Would be interesting if it could summon myth units and heroes as well. Hopefully it doesn’t work on economic units though (get a whole bunch of caravans and vills to try and kill the enemy lol). I’m interested to see if their stats remain the same or change.

I’m also looking forward to the new mythical battle. I’m glad to see that they are adding more to it. Maybe one for each fourth god we get? That would be cool with me. Overall I’m happy with the Demeter expansion. Looking forward to trying it out.

Do we know what her Mythical Age power will be? Is it Underworld Invasion?

I assume so. It’s third on the list, fits with Persephone (which I think is the third minor god) and look like it is the strongest god power out of the 3.

Looks like the Communal Hearth is shown here. Seems like it’s the size of a Lure from Poseidon. It also looks like the vines on the walls are the affect that indicates increased health or armor.

Looks nice, interesting balance discussion on the forums incoming :joy:

E o pacote de sangue?

Not sure of this bit of lore trivia:

Omniscience:

ā€œ*The most powerful of the gods were omniscient – they could see and hear everything that happened in the universe. Whether they could act on it, however, is another matter.

Tantalus, a Greek ruler and ancestor of Agamemnon, attempted to test the omniscience of the gods by chopping up his own son, Pelops, and serving him to the gods in a stew. All of the Olympians saw through the ruse immediately, except for DEMETER, who ate Pelops’ shoulder. Pelops was restored to life and Hephaestus forged him a new shoulder. Tantalus was sent to the Underworld, neck deep in a pond. The fruit on the tree above him would always lift when he tried to take a bite, and the water below him always receded when he bent to drink. From his name comes the word ā€œtantalize.ā€ā€*

Wouldn’t it make sense for Pan to the Hamadryad? I’m not sure if there’s a reason for the order to the way they were presented, but it seems a bit of a mismatch. When I first saw the Hamadryad, I immediately assumed it was the best way around Pan not getting Satyr. Dryads and Satyrs are closely associated with each other.

The powers seems to match the gods well.

Her devastating god power, Wither, sweeps across the map and destroys farms, trees, and bushes in a single wave.

?? A first age GP more powerful than forest fire??:thinking:

They appear to. You can see ā€˜furry’ villagers farming here in this screenshot.

Sure enough. I didn’t even notice those guys. I also see that the glow is probably the buff from the Communal Hearth. Almost looks like they are heroes with that glow.

That’s a good point. I also think the Hamadryad would be more useful early game vs late game. But I also think the Lycoan would also be nice early game since you can use them to gather resources if they aren’t very expensive.

When should Blood and gore pack be released?

There are 4 editions to this pack being released over the year (one each quarter). There isn’t a specific date yet, but it will be some time between April and June.

EDIT: Okay, nevermind. I don’t know what I’m talking about. Not sure where I got one release per quarter. The first three offering are releasing all before the end of March in quick succession.

According to what I read on the steam page, Obsidian Mirror (the one with the Aztecs) is the last one to release, and will come sometime during summer.
Now it could be that the Steam Info is wrong, but if it isn’t, those are the DLC for the first half of the year, and there may be things in the second half of the year that aren’t announced yet.

A Celtic pantheon coming out for Samhain would be so cool.
