Hopefully the next pantheon after Aztecs.
Yep! or it could be Indian (Hindu) Pantheon
Anyway, How you all feel about this Demeter God pack and God Packs in general?
I was eagerly awaiting new information about the pack. Really happy to see new content for the Greeks!
New gods, new units, new powers, itâs all great to see.
Iâm wondering what is the soldier unit in Demeterâs fortress. Will the harpy replace the pegasus?
I fully agree with you on that, the units for Pan and Hestia should be swapped around, and both gods should swap tiers too I think :
Imho, it should go like this
- Hestia, with the Lykaon (with them being basically myth-unit villagers, I feel like they fit with Hestia as goddess of the Hearth in a sense, being glorified vilalgers themselves basically, and I think they should move to Classical Age because to me, villager-like myth units arriving at the Heroic Age feels⌠late ? weird ? Iâm not sure how to phrase it best)
- Pan, as God of the Wilds it makes much more sense for him to have the Hamadryad as a myth unit, he did have satyrs and nymphs as his cohort, has many stories of him seducing nymphs, thereâs even the story of Syrinx, a nymph who ran away from him, tried turning into reed to escape him, and he harvested those and made them into the Pan pipe.
- Persephone, no notes here, it feels perfect giving her the Sirens (they were her companions prior to her abduction after all) and that God Power really serves teh âQueen of the Underworldâ aspect of her portfolio.
Iâm curious what the OG minor gods available to Demeter will be. I was expecting her to have a heavy economy/defense focus, but with the abilities of those myth units, Demeter seems to be more focused on ambushing and disrupting enemy lines.

My guess is Athena, Aphrodite, Hera.
Even though I feel like Artemis would fit better than Hera.

Yes, swapping the units for Hestia and Pan would make the most sense since they each would complement those gods more appropriately. As for their Age availability, Iâm not sure. I hadnât give that much thought. Perhaps that was based on their God Powers? Hestiaâs might be more powerful than Panâs? 
On a side note, does anyone know how a regional ceasefire would be better strategically/ unique in some situations? I like the idea of the power, but it seems to play too similar to a GP the Greeks already have in the same Age, only weaker
Iâm hoping that the fortress unit for Demeter will be the Amazon.

I think the special unit will be harpy or maybe a siege unit.
They have already changed one of the myth units descriptions. Hamadryads no longer steal resources. Iâm assuming if you had one near a gold mine or Berry Bush is stole resources passively from them? Maybe it was OPed or would give away the stealth?

Yeah and those changes are good
It seems like the civilization is all about stealth, like Mali from Age of Empires IV.
All Invisible, Cloaked, or even Flying myth units.
Itâs going to be quite interesting to play.

Thatâs a shame. I was looking forward to trying that out. I was thinking along the lines of, you get whatever resources a villager is carrying whenever you kill them with the Hamadryad. Since it seems like this unit would be good for harassing eco. Or you can get resources whenever you destroy a resource drop off point (which would be a lot more imbalanced). My one concern is that it said âstealâ, I was worried it would take it from another players stockpile vs generating the resources like killing Fafnir. I guess we will never know now though.

i am hoped for this too aswell as some bigger mythic age monster like griphon, python or arachne. but maybe sirene will be as big as tengu and behave similar (like overhing over the ground?)
harpy will be definitley a full flying unit in my opinion at least. - and i assume harpy will be the special fort unit. interesting choice but i wouldnât mind.
all in all i like the creativty and uniqueness of the myth units but i really need to see how lykaons and hamardryads will play ingame. (hard to imagine at least for me)
intersting. i wonder why. i thought its a fun/cool idea but maybe they will give her more base stat power instead (at least i hope so and since its the âbiggestâ new myth unit it seems)
btw she looks a bit different than in the first shared screenshot they shared - maybe the one in the screenshot is the upgrade? at least i hope so cause i liek both designs (i hope they walk a bit like lord of the rings ents ^^)
my opinion to Demeter:
or:
â i like the colour of the robe, i like the sickle i like the belt, i like the pose and the grain in the foreground and background and i think the crown and shoulderpads with the grain theme is cool and creative but both is too much in my opinion.
i also addited her face (again) and also made her bodyshape more matron/motherly.
my opinion to Pan:
my opinion to Hestia:

the portraits aside my opinion about the revealed content:
-
i am really surprised about Hestia. I was wrong there with my prediction. seems we wonât see all siblings as major gods which is kinda sad to me personally.
-
i like the GodPowers. Demeters i am not sure about and i am very scepitcal about the Arcadian Meadow which reads just like a local ceasefire (i hope i am wrong) the others look pretty cool though and even Demeters sounds interesting and creative.(I like Hestias and Persephones GP and really curious about them)
â I also think the Eidolons in Perspehones GP will be all the same ghost units and similar to the shades in TW Troy Mythos:
(as always just as a visual example) -
the myth units: i personally would have never thought we would get these myth units except for sirene and maybe harpy. but i like them. their models/design looks great. i just really need to see Lykaon and Dryad ingame and how they are being played. very curious about this. the only thing is that i am sad there is no major big myth unit monster it seems. arachne, python, colchi bull or especialy gryphon would have been my choice and what i thought we would see. but again maybe hamardryads are similar to lord of the rings ents (?) and Sirenes maybe similar in playstyle and as big as Tengu? but again curious and i like their designs even i didnât expected them.

i know and i think we all know that AoM is not completely accurate with gods and myth units. i still would be surprised if Hestia would get Hamardryads. Lykaons for Pan could be kinda fitting i guess but only with one closed eye.and since i am not sure how this hole âvillager-to-werewolfâ thing works i donât want to predict much or judge but i personally would think Lykaons for classical makes sense if they start as villagers. Hamadryads if similar to Lord of the Rings ents in size and use i would think they would make a great bigger heroic age unit. SIrenes seem to be a rolewise some mix between shinigami and tengu i assume and could be a cool lategame unit.
and last but not least i think we will see either Athena or Ares for classical age, Dionysos (fits too well and Aprodites bonuses could make Demeters villagers + Lykaon villagers too strong? just my guess) and Hera (Artemis) for mythic age - it should be Hera especially since it seems she and Hestia wonât be major gods 
) Artemis could fit but i think she fits Hades better with her bonuses.

That pan looks so much better

What do you think are the odds of the Harpy being the fortress unit?
Much better
Nice work!

i think its a very high possibilty and i personally (even i am an Amazon enthusiast) totally fine with it and kinda like it even that would be two flying units with a similar âstyleâ thats why i think Sirenes will be more melee like Tengu since they have their third pair of limbs during Harpy has her arms as wings. I also wonder if the Harpys on Underwold maps will get repaces now that would be funny and i can totally imagine someone will make a mod like this. x)
very much appreciated. i think Pan is the by far worst one even Demeter is better. x)
thanks a lot! but remember its just AI i just thought before i write a hole text about what i like and donât like i just visualise it again. Pan took the longest and Hestia the shortest til i got it how i thought it would look like the better direction.
The only improvement Iâd suggest is: keep everything about the image the same, but make the upper body less hairy (for a better hybrid animal/ human look) and give him goat eyes 
The lighting and contrast is perfect
