Sobek (Hathor)

Can we please get this changed? It looks terrible and only causes confusion for new players.

The name of the god should be dependant on whether you have the legacy portraits DLC active or not. If it is possible to change the god portrait art, surely it is just as easy to modify the name as well?

There is no reason why both names need to be displayed simultaneously.

I fully agree with this.
Honor Hathor by bringing her back into the game with another major god DLC for Egyptians.

Indeed! It is confusing and doesn’t really make sense… If for whatever reason not possible to change the name depending on which portraits you use, I’d prefer just having the new name.

Yes, she should be the fourth major Egyptian god. Would be a good way to honour her and keep her in the game and stop the confusion. Win win win.

Bumping this thread because now would be the perfect time to implement this change!

I was about to make a thread about this. It looks really bad and now it is there by default even if you don’t use the original artworks

Yeah I saw a lot of people suggest that and I’m on board.

Hathor should be the 4th Egyptian major god or at least one of the new minor gods.

I completely agree with the author of the post; the developers should remove the Hathor pseudonym and instead release a new Major God pack featuring the Egyptian goddess Hathor. That way, justice would be done regarding the poor interpretation they gave her back in 2002.

If you disable the legacy deity pack the name Hathor vanishes, if you wanna pay that price.

Interesting, I didn’t know this. Still, it shouldn’t be necessary, and you can’t do this on console either.

Justice for Hathor!

Give us the 4th Egyptian major god! :smiley:

What would her god power and myth unit be?

If she’s a major or classical age god, a GP that allows you to train two villagers instead of one (with a training rate boost) for the duration would be suitable.

If she’s a minor a God, any of the favourite/ front-runner myth units would be fine (except Ammit, which would be better associated with Maat, since she is most likely to be included). I would personally like to see either Apep, Serpopard, Akhekh, Sak, Sha (but might be better suited to Set) or Ba Bird for something different. I would also like if she got a unique naval MU like the Abtu (which is related to Ra).

For her bonuses, she could focus on villagers and mercenaries.

Of course this is all fun speculation, as I feel it is unlikely this will happen given this week’s events :smiling_face_with_tear:

the Apis bull for its mythical unity

Maybe a God Power to turn the cast herdable into Apis (bull) so that as long as it lives it generates some trickle of favor like a monument.
